Quoting: gretzkyghosts
If I were Botterill, I would NOT play Sam with Jack as that only inflates Sam's value in a contract year.
While Pilut looked really good in Rochester, he was given chances under Housley as well as Krueger but he just was not NHL material. 6 pts, minus 12 in 46 games.
Why would a GM not bring in Hammond who he signed just in case?
Playing Sam with Jack only added $2,000,000 to Sam's long tern contract, I find it hard to believe a GM would want to do that.
When the Sabres played Tampa in Europe, not only did no one come to Skinner's defense, but no one jumped in after Ristolainen delivered a huge hit and was challanged.
Who would want to play for a coach who essentially discourages players sticking up for each other.
I know all of the players say they like Krueger, if that were the case the results would have been much better, as we all put out for someone we like.
Let me say, it was not until end of the season review with many people who know more about hockey than I convinced me that Krueger WAS the problem.
I have not read anything here to convince me to that i was right originally and wrong for changing.
Wow. Talk about dumpster fires. To deal with these in a row:
That is precisely what I insinuated above. I also explained why he did.
Who were you watching? And you're going to quote plus/minus as a legitimate stat in 2020 (on a bad team no less)? Damn. Ballsy.
Botterill prioritized winning in Rochester (even over player development at times). That was the most likely cause for this insane move. It fueled a number of his insane moves and got him and the Rochester coaching staff rightfully fired.
Botterill did the exact same thing with Skinner. So can't believe he'd do it with Reinhart? Really? When a person shows you who they are, believe them. He was trying to use Jack as a selling point to keep the guys at any cost. Yeah...capologist was what they called that clown. He just had Crosby so guys took discounts to win.
Well this is straight out of dead puck era hockey. Should we still be pissed at Milan Lucic for running down Miller? This is hockey in the third man in, instigator era. Tell me we should get rid of those rules and I'm all in on changing that. Until then, criticize guys for not wanting to put the team in a bad spot? Please. Skinner also dives like crazy.
This is just apparent bias. You base this on what? One incident in Sweden from a team that hasn't been "standing up for each other" for a decade plus? Your mind is already made up if you can genuinely believe that load of crap.
Liking the coach helps a talented team elevate. Where was the talent? Where was anything resembling a competent center after Eichel? Oh yeah, a solid 4C in Larsson.
The phrasing is "more than me" not "more than I". Stop trying to sound smarter than you are. And whether or not these supposed hockey gurus are worth listening to is questionable as you only compare them to your own dubious standard. Quod erat demonstrandum.
Finally, there have been plenty of solid points on here from various people. You haven't presented a cogent argument (let alone, heaven forfend, an actual counterargument) against Krueger other than some whining about "toughness" (please don't use the phrase "blue collar", please don't do it...) and not getting results with a poorly constructed, under-talented roster.
You clearly still have Miller-induced Post-Lucic Stress Disorder. Get over it.
