U really don't understand that ppl want a guy who's already established?
While Theodore is a really good prospect,
He's still a question mark as to how good he'll actually be

I like Theodore,
But no... he is not enough for Kane
And a 1st in this draft isn't that great
Only way that 1st helps us is if we can trade it for another player

Why not try to give up a good forward prospect on the verge, like Fasching, and see what good defenseman prospect we can get back?

I understand that but the team that would most likely want kane would be playoff teams correct?
They're more likely trade their High prospects and will pay more for the extra year

Julian Melchiori on waivers, anyone know anything about his play? 6'5" 315lbs, 87th overall in 2010. Never seen him play.

Maybe that get's you McNabb back.

I mean, I can't tell if people actually want this team to get better or what.

You see how much of a tire fire this D core is, right?

Eichel has been healthy for almost 40 games now. Kane too.

This team isn't good enough. Or close to it.

There is no staying the course. It's either moves are made to better the defense, or we turn into East Edmonton

They're not bad for having one half of a decent roster.

I would rather add an extra 3m and get JT instead

What we need to do IF we trade Kane...
is make sure we get back the RIGHT defenseman
Not a defenseman who MIGHT be the right guy just bc they're gonna add some extra stuff in the deal

If that means we wait till the offseason,
Then that's fine

What's MOST important is that the main piece we get back is the RIGHT piece

You and many others here will rue the day when he's not here and we struggle to replace him.

After last night, I'm convinced Bailey when fully developed can do 75% of what Kane can do. Plus add Nylander. The forwards will be fine if they subtract someone

There's simply no way it makes any sense to remove a top 6 guy from THIS team for D help. We can't score as it is ..............

I would wash my hands of this guy before he does something stupid

Right now is the best time when his values is Sky High and he could get us a quality defenseman which we desperately need

U think Risto isn't good bc there's too many shots against us when he's on the ice, and u over exaggerate ALL the time
Just like now
I never said don't trade Kane
What I said was...
if we are getting back a team's prospect defenseman,
That's not enough for Kane & what I'd give up is a forward prospect

Are we top10 in scoring this year with Eichel in the lineup?
Yes, we are
So actually... we're pretty good at scoring

Also...
I never said to trade Kane
I said IF

That's great ........ a couple of prospects that may or may not amount to squat. I want all of them playing for us next year .............. 4 lines worth of that. You simply cannot have enough guys like Kane on your team. He's damn near the best player on the team right now and has been since Dec.

Extend him ....... now. If for no other reason to gauge his willingness to stay in Buffalo.

The problem is if we wait in the off-season the team that originally wanted him are now gone
And then we take the risk waiting to the deadline to trade him but we can't because we're in the playoffs..

We'll see what happens but if he keeps up this type of play he might be the most sought-out trade deadline equation for teams
