Offer sheeting Kucherov would be similar to Tarashenko last year methinks...or Vanek for us. At some point you just have to match anything that comes in...the way this kid is playing right now...he's that type of player.

Kucherov would be awesome but I could never see it happening


That's why everyone that has Us drafting Mikhail Sergachev or wanting him should just cross it off the list and go to the next player

both


I doubt kane sticks around when his deal is done so that would help cap wise


kuch would cost 2 firsts, a second and a 3rd at that tag?


pretty sure bolts match it though

Why wouldn't he? This team is going to be killing it by then.

Because he's probably going to want a raise, and for his 65 games a year it's probably not worth it

Hope we don't make the same mistake Tampa Bay or any other team and just trade him at the deadline

I've thought for a couple years now that McCabe & Ristolainen would end up paired together eventually
If we can't trade for a partner for Risto, like Lindholm or whoever...
I wouldn't mind seeing them get a shot together

I see Gorges being a guy that slides down in the pairings as young guys move up

- jdfitz77


Set your sights higher .............. it's time to go for it. McCabe on the top pair is not going for it. That sort of thinking is what keeps Buffalo on the outside looking in. If McCabe turns into that type of player a couple of years from now great ........... he's nowhere near that now

Yeah I bet, a year out from the knife, and a year away from the pressure cooker that was the Peg...I agree. I say he could score 30 again...

Injuries, off ice issues, and 65 games of decent play If you're lucky? I like the player, but he's not someone you invest 5-6 year extensions in. People want to give him excuses for his injuries and claim it's because the style of play. Here's a few other power forwards game history

Corey Perry 11 seasons, 7 of them he's played 78 games or more

Alex Ovechkin 11 seasons, has played most of each 11 years. Most games missed in a year was 10....once


Wayne Simmonds 8 seasons, most games missed in a season was 7. Has played 3 full 82 game seasons.

The narrative that PF's are expected to miss a ton of games is overblown. Kane is fine here for the next 2 years. Not worth a long term investment

So by that logic McDavid is injury prone and not worthy of any long term deal .... is that it? His off-ice issues to me are so irrelevant they are not worth mentioning. However .. if he is/becomes a problem in the locker room then I would have a problem with that for sure. Short of that .............. he's a terrific asset to this team.

McDavid has had 1 year where he missed time with an injury. Kane is a 7 year vet and he's missed significant time in almost every one. It all depends what happens these next two years. If he has 2 similar years of 20 goals, 35-45 points and wants to resign at 5-5.5 mil, sure. I'd just be very wary of giving him a huge deal.

Agreed .... Kane has things to prove before he lands the big, long term deal. He likes money however .......... he should be motivated to kick ass the next two years.
