Where is this 10m a year for eichel comming from. Seen people posting it on here for a few weeks now. Yea hes worth some money but 10mil a year?!?!?!
- ZiggyBuff



If he signs an 8 year extension he is going to get $10 million per year or damn near close to it

Would you trade a Guhle like D prospect for a 1 year signed Kane? Not sure how many GM's would
- GilPerreault11



Obviously you'd find out if Kane would be willing to sign
Guys get traded with 1 year left all the time

I think we should keep Kane for the record

We got a top4 defenseman (maybe 2) without moving Sam or Kane
That's a big win imo

most those teams 2nd best defender is much better than Scandella , and they have depth. Your blueline is improved, but if you think its as good as 'most teams' in the NHL then I guess you'll be left wondering why you missed the dance again, because it isn't particularly clear to you.

If they move Kane and don't bring a LW back they have zero guys to play on the top two lines to play on the LW unless they are planning on having Bailey, Baptiste and Nylander fight it out...

They needed a LW before trading Ennis now with him gone there is an even bigger need (Foligno is gone as well) so trading Kane doesn't make sense.

I don't think it does either unless the Pagula's want him out like some say like Mike Harrington of TBN

He/she...it? likes to mix it up a bit to keep us on our toes. It could just be an elaborate Turing test. Half the time a human types and the other half a troll machine. And it's our job is to figure out which.

Thank God they got rid of Reilly Smith or that's who it would be.

Edit: Watch, it's Kane and Lehner for Luongo, Sceviour, Pissboy and the rights to Vanek.

I'm pretty sure that's what Tanner is. An elaborate Hot Take-spewing algorithm

Could be. It is quite nonsensical at times.

Speaking of Turing tests has anyone seen Ex Machina? It's a good movie. It was released like 2 years ago Gerbe, it's not a "super old" movie from the 80's.

I was never a Pominville guy, but I like how excited he seems to be coming back here.

This was almost done at the draft, so close until Boston stepped in. But done none the less.
As I posted.

Here's a hint:

1 down, 1 to go.
And that 1 to go has multiple suitors.

Have a great 4th all.

I was thinking when the Sabres got Pominville it may have given them some comfort to trade Kane even though they play opposite wings. It gives them a productive wing 5 v5 and 2nd PP but they are going to need to get at least 1 more productive LW
- GilPerreault11

they need 1 lw as it sits since they shipped 2 out today


the pros of today

we got a top 4 d man so no reason to rush guhle

we got better on the pk

we moved 2 bodies who we have lost with during their entire nhl careers


I don't like pommer's cap hit but I love everything else in this trade

So I'm guessing it's another D man.

I'm guessing it's not Shattenkirk so it's a trade.

So I'm gonna go with..... Noah Hanifin

If they trade Kane and get a D the shelf is bare on the left side. It doesn't make sense or GMJB better have a plan

He's not signing anyone long term until Eichel and Sam are done.

Come on....even Murray said those are the priorities

Let's lock Kane and Eichel down for $14M Kane $5.5M x 5 years, Eichel $8.5M x 8. It is a lot of cheddar for your top 3 forwards, but I don't see how you can do without any of them.
