TB: Bishop + 1st in 2014 (19) <-> WPG: Kane + 1st in 2014 (9)

Doubt it, not many (if any) good teams have the cap room for that offer and he wants to play for a winner. Maybe TB goes up to 5.5...he may get a 6.5/yr offer from NYI, lol...

Probobly B.Schenn would be the center piece. Then add in your first round pick. Then some other small pieces added going both ways.

I do like Schenn but what is his realistic ceiling? A 2nd line center?

are you nuts? Schenn and a first for his HUGE contract...

Miller to St. Louis is one of the most ridiculous rumors I've ever heard. What is the reasoning behind this?

I thought how can you believe any of this crap when he states Miller to St. Louis, that ship has sailed!

I agree he wont get a ton from a contender or a team with a chance to win. And since there are no state taxes in florida Tampa could probably get him for less than other teams because he would still have a higher take home

If Chevy believes Bishop is the real deal, then the offer works well for them. They move out Kane, who isn't doing the team any good due to his numerous antics and mediocre performance. This year's draft isn't anything special, so likely little drop off between the 9 and 19th picks. Plus Bishop is 2.3 cap hit this year, which saves money. Otherwise, they have no goalie in the system or any real trade prospects to bring in somebody comparable to Bishop...it's an even deal imo.

So you would trade Schenn, your first, + for Phanuef, mid pick? If that's the case you would regret that within 2 years when Schenn is scoring 25 goals as a power forward and skating around Dion like so many other teams did all year. He's a 2-3 D man who's paid like a #1 superstar D man. He's a product of Toronto over hype, just like how all their prospects are awesome and Burke "stocked the cupboards) meanwhile there is nobody busting down the door from their system to make any kind of impact or top two line potential. Don't fall for the hype.
- SmielmaN


Schenn a power forward? No way he will be good and score 25 goals like you said but he is not a power forward. He does not have the size to be a PF.

You are out to lunch, Bishop is better than Miller and he is not in play. Miller will get SJ or Anaheim, that is about it.

Look up what the rumored asking price for Kane alone is.
And get back to us.

Schenn for Phaneuf works good for both teams. Get it done.

No I'm not saying I want to throw B Schenn in there but realistically Schenn may have to go if Philly really wants that too pairing d man. We are over crowded at the center position and I wouldn't mind having Couts 2C and bring Laughten up. But I would prefer to not lose B Schenn. Unless it was for a younger d man with friendlier cap.
- arichardson22


I wouldn't move Schenn before couts. Just my opinion. You can bring in Boyle for nothing and he would be a better person for your team than phanuef

I wouldn't be so sure. Bishop wasn't anything spectacular before this year, and near the end of the season he started coming back to earth in his play...I doubt he does so well next year.

ANA: Andersen + Gibson are there, no room for Miller. He'd be pushed out of the starter position too soon by Gibson. Plus, ANA has more pressing issues than to bring in Miller.

SJ: Similar case as ANA. They don't need Miller as he's not an improvement on Niemi, who is only 3.8/yr cap hit...he is on his final season, but with Stalock waiting in the wings, I just don't see a fit for Miller here either.

The main reason id think tampa would do it is because they have an issue with the term of their goaltenders. Bishops contract is up at the end of the year and if he has a big year he will be looking for big term and big money while Tampa will be looking to give out a 3-4 year contract to bridge until vasilevski is ready. If bishop falters theyre left without much for a starting goalie. With miller you know what you would get and could get him on a contract the term you need to bridge to vasilevski which I feel will be very difficult to do with bishop.

You are still sad about the Habs aren't you.
- Aetherial

100 pt season, ECF appearance, too 5 goalie in the league, too 5 D man in the league. Nah, I'm pretty happy about the Habs. Did you see we signed Weise for 1 mill per and he produces more than Clarkson at 5+mill? Are you sad about that?

I think a Vezina candidate who is young is a significant return, especially when they have absolutely no goal tending depth. If Chevy likes Bishop, how could he better improve his position? What more could he get than Bishop?

Kane is a free agent next year. There is no way rienhart and McDavid will be at toews level in 1 year. And there is no gaurentee either of them will be a star in the NHL. Why would Kane take that risk? He has a perfect situation in Chicago he won't go anywhere.

And Who's to say buffalo would get McDavid? They have no guarantee for last place. Then there is the lottery.

- JVR_42_PK81

How do you know he wouldn't want to come home???
Anyway, chances of him coming to Buffalo is a lot higher than him going to the Leafs.
Sabres are in GREAT position for a very bright future, and maybe Kane wants to be a part of it.
Only time can tell, not you!!!

To be fair to bishop when he was "coming back down to earth" he was playing with torn ligaments in his wrist that required surgery. Of course his performance would drop playing with that kind of injury in his glove hand.
