ROR, I was on the fence with him too. I realize he's a good player, but like you said, not speedy. But last night he showed his willingness to use other tools, and his game seems to be changing ever so slightly, becoming slightly meaner and using his body more. If he does, he will find a way to adapt to a faster game. The offense is starting to click again for him, and that's gonna add alot
Buffalo Sabres general manager Jason Botterill made his first appearance of the season with Schopp and the Bulldog on Friday from (716) Food and Sport.
On the Sabres slow start to the season:
"Phil and his staff are trying to interact with these guys away from the rink. Figure out who needs a little bit of a pat on the back, versus who needs a harsher tone. We're showing glimpses of that type of team Phil wants to have, but consistency isn't there yet."
On former GM Tim Murray, and his favorite part of the job:
"Tim was an amazing evaluator of talent. He would get out there and watch games. For myself, I enjoy that everyday I get up and it's something different. Either going to a game, or talking to an agent about a contract, or talking about the business side, or talking to the coach. Going through so many different things is what I enjoy about my side."
On contract talks with Evander Kane:
"I've always had a strong relationship with his agent. I love how Phil's reached out to Evander. We said we're not going to be doing a contract right away. Evander's been focused, loves Phil's style of game. He's been effective in a lot of different roles. He's helping out team, the contract situation will take care of itself."

The polar opposite of Tim "Rainman" Murray... this will take awhile, but I but he we have the right GM and HC in place.
It's funny, because even the mods and admins told you straight up I didn't.
I guess the memo you refuse t on understand though is that either way, you are responsible for yourself and if you act like a jackasses and get banned from something, it's only your fault.
And now, yeah, I am reporting you. And I don't care if you have an issue with it. You've followed me around enough.
I'm not sure who repped me. PM me?

So, look. I get he's expensive. But you'd have to imagine this would be a great depth pick up. This would also get Tennyson or Fedun out of the line and back to Rochester.
Upgrade for both the big club and the Amerks
Not all doom and gloom. Guhle is 6th in scoring among AHL defensemen. His game is really coming along I hear
