Dogging the move.

I dogged him when he started his Sabre career on an awful note

This blog illustrates how everyone over-values the players on the team they cheer for and can't objectively see how anyone or anything could be better.

Muzzin for Kane is a steal for Buffalo, and while Rob Blake may be inexperienced, he's not dumb. Anyone who wouldnt make this trade on Buffalo's side isn't a hockey fan, they're a Sabres fan, cause they dont watch any of the other teams

If Kane nets you anything other than a lawsuit then you take the deal. What a waste of oxygen.

You're letting the bias get the better of you again.

Good for him. If you want to believe that he is better than ROR and Okposo, great.

Kane does **1** thing well, score 5 on 5 goals. It's pretty damn important, but not the only thing that should be considered.

Again, if he was already signed, this wouldn't be a discussion

- sbroads24

All of them are great players! It's the d that needs fixing, a trade, free agent, and hopefully some health! Especially in goal, with that said! can't see you guys not in the playoffs! Eichel could Finnish in the top 5 for scoring imho

"...the trade is an easy move to make if Kane was unwilling to re-sign for a reasonable amount and term".

You hit the nail on the head. If Kane ain't resigning - and JB would likely know by now - then you have to move him. We can't let him walk for nothing at the end of next season.

I'm not even looking at stats. The other things he does well don't show up in the scoresheet but they are indeed valuable.

EDIT: Don't give me poop about legal trouble. You know what I'm talking about and would do so only to be difficult.

We need a trade, and he's one of very few options. Is bears the conversation.

I have been cheer-leading for trading Kane while he has value all season. Last year was a flash in the pan. He will not net 30 this year. Strike while the iron is hot. We need a defense-man bad and if someone is willing to offer Muzzin or equal for Kane straight up or we even have to pad the deal I agree 100% with you. Buffalo would be the clear winners in the deal.

Ya but alot of factors can come into play , sutter lost the room, the goaltending issue, Kopitar, carter,etc. Muzzin can play! he can move the puck well ,but is he of equal value for the Sabres to move kane? And is he the type of dman that's needed for the team?I think Minnesota might be a possible trade partner?and there's history between the two clubs!

The question becomes, is that worth the investment?

I really don't think it is.
