He did the best he could with the Kane trade and got a half decent return, but how poorly he did with the ROR trade could be a career ender for him especially if he loses his job with the Sabres before redeeming himself. He better pray he doesn't screw up the Risto trade. It can take years for an organization to recover from three bad GM's in a row if Botterill proves to be no better than his predecessors. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that does end up being the case, hopefully anything that happens can be at least mitigated by your young core. I wouldn't wish the down times Buffalo's had over the past 10+ years on any team.

Uhh, or maybe we can both cherry pick definitions. panic. noun. Definition of panic - a sudden unreasoning terror often accompanied by mass flight widespread panic in the streets. Like I said one is a noun, the other is an adjective (an actual action). Even your cherry picked definition backs me up. Try again? *edit* Apparently it isn't obvious that I'm pointing out the way that the words were previously used. Cherry picking other definitions, like I even showed can be done here, proves nothing.

I wouldn't wish the down times Buffalo's had over the past 10+ years on any team. They fell apart after 2011 after the owner came in and handed Darcy Regier a blank cheque. He then took too long to fire him and then replaced him with a poor GM in Tim Murray. The sad thing is that even up to several years ago, the Sabres were a top 5 team in all-time regular season record percentage. Of course much lower than that in playoff percentage. Now they're probably middle of the pack in all-time regular season and same in playoffs since they haven't been there in 8 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lock Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 (edited) Wow, all this conversation's really telling me is how bad of a language English is. Panic is a noun. Panicked or panicking is the verb. It is also an adjective, which is what I think was the intent of use here.

This is why English is a terrible language. I've literally gone through 3 dictionaries online and none of them had panic as a verb. I get what you are saying and I'm not going to say you're wrong, but for some reason the dictionaries don't see it as a verb, at least the ones I checked.

SabreFan1 Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Good grief. I started a conversation on elementary English. In University years ago I did free tutoring for some people in English. It's been more than 2 decades since. I really should get that urge under control... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why can’t a GM? im not sure of Botterhills contract, but if they don’t make the playoffs this season , I doubt he see’s his draft acquisitions flourish from the Management pressbox in the future thereafter. maybe he needs to see the urgency?
