You are greatly underestimating him. I hope the talk works out and we keep him. He is a relentless forechecker. I enjoyed watching him at the last part of the season, especially the mid air pass to Eichel for that last second goal.

Zack Smith is a relentless forechecker who had 36 points. Is he worth someone like Fowler?

Unfortunately we need to keep Kane if we want anything for him. Problem is the reason why he's being shopped is because they don't want him on the team. It's a lose/lose

Not at all. Firstly he is not the scorer some people believe he is. He had his great 30 goal campaign 5 years ago and hasn't been able to top 20 since. Not that 20 goals is anything to sniff at, and I agree he is a good hockey player with some appealing attributes.

I'm curious what Pegula and TM can possibly say to this guy at this point that hasn't already been said. My guess is he is who is, and he may keep his grill out of trouble for a while, but it will rear its ugly head again, deservedly or otherwise, because he's created a target for himself.

Serious question. You know for sure he's being shopped? Or just rumors, or just a guess based on his off-ice antics?

What platform? XBONE, PS4 or PC? I like the console mods. They did a good job rolling them out considering this is totally uncharted territory for a console game. PS4 problems are proving just how hard it is.

I've got ~200 hours into it, probably more, over my 2 characters and I've only seen about half the game. In the main quest I just started the part where you have to pick sides. I don't want to spoil it for you. I like finishing my main Fallout quests at the same time I finish everything else even though I know I can continue playing after the main quest concludes.

I've put a lot of time into my settlements. I've got a couple of towers about 95% done with just the finishing touches of clutter on a few of them. But he past 20 or 30 hours or so just Richarding around with mods on my XBONE. I haven't actually progressed my game since they came out. lol

Is it just me or does it seem the less time you have to play the less you actually accomplish. Proportionally obviously. For the sake of argument: So if you can only play for an hour you might get 3% done, but if you can sit down for 4 hours you can get 20% done. I just feel like if I only have a little while I end up just putzing around in my inventory/settlement because I know I can't play for very long, so I won't want to start a longish quest.

It's not a perfect game by any stretch And there are some big changes that they could've done but didn't. They could've taken ammo variant/ammo crafting out of New Vegas. Make your choices matter more like in NV. Up to the point I'm at the main quest is a disaster.

But it's a revolutionary game in the fact that they were able to tie everything together seemlessly...ish

All-nighter game sesh, here I come! Starting riiiiight, meow. Wish me luck. My buddy and I are having a race to see who can beat Rise of the Tomb Raider by 1:00pm tomorrow. Only 21 minutes behind schedule!! Oops

Im playing it on PS4, and yeah lots of little bugs but nothing major yet for me. I almost bought it for PC but my PS4 has pretty much become a Netflix/Hulu machine so I decided with the console.

I very much agree on if you don't have much time to play Fallout4 you will accomplish little to none. It's been a struggle to get some solid playing time in as I have a 2 month old who has an innate ability to start screaming for food or a diaper change as soon as I flip on the PS4. I just finished the USS Constitution quest, that was a fun one. Hope you had a fun all-nighter game session. Im going to try to get a couple hours of gaming in today but we will see.

I'm pretty certain.

My buddy who works for the Pegula's/Harbor center said they were pissed and are done (take that with a grain of salt)

Matthew Coller said that he knows Murray tried to move him

George Laraque said we were shopping him.

Seems it's out there

It's not out there in the media that he's being shopped. Not yet anyway. Just fan speculation unless you have an insider here.

Agree. He has a big target on his back and that's what they need to sort out. Look at PK, they wouldn't even let him come home this summer. I just wouldn't throw him away like many are suggesting. Right now, we need him.

I'm pretty certain.

I don't believe they will do anything till this last incident plays out. George Laraque is full of hot air, says a lot of off the wall stuff that are just his opinions only.

I think it hinges on Vesey/Nash. If they are able to land 1 or both Kane will be moved

Can it be September yet? I want some football/fantasy football! I feel like we can all agree July and August are the worst two months of the year for sports...

I agree but the timing he is moved is probably around the trade deadline regardless

Probably. They just won't leave a gaping hole like fans of other teams are hoping. One even suggested they should get rid of Kane and ROR because of his incident.

Ha! ROR is an elite player , IMO.that suggestion is kinda dumb...but Kane is somewhat expendable In the long term.

The same person would probably accuse us of tanking since we'd be back to 30th place if that happened.

Sounds like TB and Alex Killorn finishing a seven-year deal at $4.45M per

How????

Kucherov...offer sheet? Trade? Something?

There isn't a better scrambler in the game than Phil....

Love it

That would be absolutely wild. If this is the case something HAS to give.

Obviously they are going to try to move Bishop but man even though Stevie knows what he is doing he is leaving himself a little vulnerable at the moment even though other GM's don't have the balls to offer sheet him

What's their cap looking like?

They have about 13m with killorn, namestnikov, nesterov and kucherov unsigned. The big issue is next year they have Johnson, Palat and Drouin to sign...all of them are going to get big raises.

I think stripes is right they better have a deal ready to trade out Bishop, but even with that unless the cap increased by 8-10m they are going to have to give up on one of the triplets.

(That's according to our cap central for TBL.)

They aren't bad this year.

They still have Kucherov, Nesterov and Namestinkiov to sign

Next year is when things get dicey for them.

Can someone please post the EA Sports, NHL 16 goal celebration of Tyler Johnson in a Sabres Uniform. That would be greatttt thankssss.
