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

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

Doesn't mean Eichel isn't done tomorrow too.

I love it out here. None of that humidity like back home. Haven't crossed paths with 89.
- Pierceme69


It's only like 80 today, but it's also 80+% humidity and hazy as (frank). Gross. (frank) Florida in the summer and (frank) Vegas/Mojave where it's 124. Planes can't take off(safely) in Phoenix because there's not enough lift. (frank) that. Twice.

Great read Michael! I don't post much in here (lucky for you guys! )much,but I always I read your thoughts and opinions! And I love this deal imo it killed two birds with one stone! Adding a familiar veteran for scoring depth, and upgrading the dcore! Well done Mr . Botterill and congrats Buffalo on your new management team,coach and player's! If things stay as is!Buffalo will be in (playoffs ) and Toronto could be the ones on the outside looking in! And I'm sure all of you would be double pleased about that! best of luck with tomorrow and the rest of the offseason!

We would know if he was close.

No one has a clue yet.

McDavid is going to sign, then Eichel will follow

WTF are you talking about? Why so cryptic?
- Wetbandit1


So Kane has multiple suitors I heard Anaheim somewhere today where they were interested, maybe Florida, who knows who else but there better be a LW, productive prospect coming back in some sort of package.

I was just being a smartass.

I do think he signs very close to McDavid. Day or 2 after. They're just waiting on the final number and they'll work off that.

Well yeah I get that but that doesn't mean Kane signs an extension just means he starts the year in Buffalo (for the record I am all for a Kane extension as long as its $6 million per or lower)

I'm in favor of keeping him. I know it's a gamble with his off ice shenanigans, but I heard an interview somewhere that people are starting to think he may finally be growing up after this last incident.

I would actually prefer to wait a year on Reinhart. I'm not sold on him. We didn't draft him #2 overall to be an undersized winger.

I'll be happy for many reasons not the least of which to see some people lose it if the Sabres sign Kane

- jcragcrumple

One for sure. Maybe 2. Even if you had 3 that would make Sekeras a 2nd pairing , and no (frank)ing way do you have 4 better ones.
Christ, some of you guys have Nate B on your second pair already and he he sure as (frank) is not better at hockey than Sekeras.
