Unlike McBeane's process of plugging in players that fit a winning system, Botts has plugged in players that are not useful in any system. Ok, maybe a minor league system. Go Amerks.
The Sabres aren't going to win consistently until they get a real GM. Unlike Murray, I do hope Botts gets some sort of administrative job somewhere because he seems like a decent guy. I also wouldn't mind seeing him get a head scout role for a division rival.
