I remember a while back when, because of some glitch or something, it was revealed that her father and some climate activist were writing all of her facebook posts for her. Fun times.

of course, I mean she's just a kid. As a motivator for youth I have no issues with her. But I can't stand it when they ask her about solutions. Maybe once she gets her engineering degree I'll listen.

Bad news for you is that she’s also been invited to be part of the group searching for our next GM. They’ve also invited the Littlest Hobo, Mr, Belvedere, and the two old guys from the muppets. 

I'm on team Hobo.

A summary of Jason Botterill's notable moves in 3 years as Sabres GM:

  • Drafting Casey Mittelstadt #8, Rasmus Dahlin #1, Dylan Cozens #7
  • Trading Evander Kane for a conditional 1st and Danny O'Regan
  • Trading Ryan O'Reilly for Tage Thompson, a 1st, a 2nd and 2 cap dumps
  • Replacing ROR at 2C with a rotation of Patrick Berglund, Marcus Johansson, Evan Rodrigues and a teenage Mittelstadt
  • Trading a 1st and Brendan Guhle for Brandon Montour
  • Trading a 2nd and a 5th for Colin Miller
  • Trading Alex Nylander for Henri Jokiharju
  • Adding the 3 above RHD in the same summer to a team that already had RHDs Ristolainen and Bogosian and keeping all 5.
  • Targeting players like Johansson, Jimmy Vesey, Conor Sheary, Vlad Sobotka, Michal Frolik, a 37-year-old Jason Pominville and Benoit Pouliot to play top-9 roles
  • Trading Marco Scandella for a 4th 2 months before Marc Bergevin then flipped him for a 2nd
  • Not qualifying Robin Lehner
  • Hiring Phil Housley and Ralph Krueger to be head coach
  • Refusing to sign Sam Reinhart to a long-term contract
  • Signing Jeff Skinner to an 8-year, $72-million contract

I find her so annoying.

What annoys me is the media acting like she's an expert.

 

Couldn't resist the meme tho, Max is into hour 50 of his hissy fit.

God I hate the little swede greta.  The child has no idea what her parents are making her say.

 

Pretty pathetic.

If he's the new GM we might hear "Sell the team!" chants.

I'm not thrilled with their draft history under Botteril... I don't know if thats a crappy scouting team or JB himself tho.

 

One thing that makes me think he's maybe a decent hire is Seattle had a ton of choices and went with him as AGM. I doubt Francis would pick a dud.

Might want to rethink that. Did you see the team of players he picked? Lol

ugh, yeah. If he's listening to his head scout then maybe its OK since we probably have a better group he can draw from. Certainly in our Swedish scouting.

Look at their expansion draft again.  They picked a lot of duds.
