I'm still hoping we trade for defense and forward

It would be pretty fun if Risto got an offer sheet I know we would match but it be a fun day
- GERBE!!!75PTS

The future is bright Gerbe but based on what some trolls say here it's like we're the Chernobyl Sabres or something. Jesus.

I can tell you there were some dark Sabre years before you were even born. I've lived them all. This site gets off at trolling us and we just take it in the chin and the mods jerk off. Love it.

Any rumors 39?

Unless he gets a contract offer in the "four firsts" range, it will merely be a matter of another team doing the negotiating for the Buffalo Sabres.

yea and we've already experienced that once, would prefer to not go through that again.

4 firsts ? Isn't that over 9m contract

I don't think he would get one. He's good. He's not that good.

i don't have as much of a problem with kane as you and others might...he had a decent year coming off of shoulder surgery on a new team with new coaches...still the top left winger on the team, still a player that other teams must defend against...

as for his personal life, i'm not as judgmental
- Michael Pachla

I agree. He's a great hockey player. He just needs to clean up his off the ice stuff as far as I am concerned. Not sure if the Pegulas and Murray can get through to him, but I sure hope they do and he decides to change his ways.

The locker room, I know there were issues with the Jets. I haven't heard anything reported here thus far.

I forgot what it was, but there's no way in hell he's getting to that range.

Agreed . I'm thinking 1/2 that

My point is more that the tone of this place will change when this team starts seeing results in the win column. People can claim to be as optimistic as they want (and there is reason to be), but the reality is, winning cures all. Potential doesn't.
- buffalofan19

I understood your point and it was a very good one. There is nothing wrong as a fan being optimistic with the team you follow. Things happen but these trolls can't wait to pounce. Just tired of it.

- buffalofan19

I don't either but we're kinda in this weird place where we have a few guys that will be getting paid more in a couple of years (yes i know others will be coming off but they might need to be replaced) so even if its 1-2 million more than we were aiming for it could throw a monkey wrench in the plan

The whole vesey deal has set everything back. Remember the sabres dont have as much cap as we would like. They have vesey,kane,nash,fowler but any combination could throw it all out of wack. They first see if they can sign vesey. If they do, they would bring in nash and dump kane. They want a combination of vesey and fowler,vesey,nash and fowler. They now are stuck un til what happens to kane

People tend to judge every thing anyone does . All these experts on morals Legal systems, Hockey management, etc. They are all angels

Morals? It's a business decision. If the cost of keeping him ($, team image and impact on the dressing room) outweigh his on-ice value, they'll find a way to get rid of him.

Is a big difference in salaries. Perfect world they bring in vesey,nash ,fowler and get rid of kane girgensons and franson along with some prospects

Thanks! Good to know we are still in on Fowler. I really want him.

I can't remember who said that they heard Fowler was the "key to the entire offseason." I feel like if that's true, Murray will get him...

Kane is accused. Not convicted of anything yet and posters want him gone .

yea and we've already experienced that once, would prefer to not go through that again.
- Havic3814

We all know he wouldn't get that much it would still be a fun topic to talk about for a couple hours

Is this your first year playing fantasy football ?

I'm just confused because how could you not know about Johnson he basically won fantasy season last year for everyone

Funny coming from you who doesn't even know Lamar Miller isn't on the Dolphins anymore.

I dont want him gone. We couldnt trade him for sbroads,gerbe,garth and a cabin to be named later right now

He doesn't need to be convicted. His off ice body of work versus his production on the ice is already even at best. Good teams cut bait with that sort.

What happens if they don't get any of the three what's the backup plan

Hopefully while he is here he can be more productive than his rehab season.
