im not sure id do that either. can't risk bringing in anymore dead weight and Letang as much as I like him is one strong gust of wind from being just that.

Kane may be the biggest rental, but his price goes down with Pacioretty and Hoffman being available. Those are better players under contract, more valuable to basically any team

Even if he isn’t elite level top pairing, it’s night and day compared to Bogosian.

At some point they need good NHL’ers on the blue line

30
awful season
oft unjured
strokey
$7.25M x 4

If I could ALLCAPS I would.

And you bark about Kane missing 10 games a season at $6M for 3 when we got him.

- Der Kaiser

His awful season is better than any D man on our team this year.

And I have 0 clue what Kane and Letang have in common.

We are desperate for a good top 4 d man.

Here’s what they have in common:

both miss games and both should havevteams asking hard questions about the value of a contract extending beyond their 30th birthday.

His contract is bad, but we’re talking about trading Bogo.....it’s an upgrade, isn’t it?

My sources have confirmed, Russ Brandon and the Sabres organization want good nhlers playing defense.



Mittelstadt needs to chill with that backhand drag. U.S. Should continue the cycle, play the possession games against the Russians.

Me either.

For someone as ingratiated as some say Brandon is it was curious that he wasn't in any of the locker room reaction videos.

Terry was standing next to/hugging the team doctor. And Brandon isn't in sight.

Deadweight at $5 for 2 is better than deadweight at $7.5 for 4.

And at this point too much of everything surrounding Letang smells like deadweight.

I guess that’s we’re i disagree. I don’t think he’s deadweight

I still think he’s a very good top 4. Especially if they retain a mil or two.

They get cocky and dangle into the clogged middle.

Mittlestadt wants to be Pat Kane (I love it), but he forces it when real estate gets tight

It’s 4 years. Molsons contract looked questionable 2 years ago. Letang’s is raising eyebrows now.

Yeah, "in the office" away from everyone else. He was in the coach's office, yet the coach was out in the locker room amidst his team. Same with Terry and other front office/medical/training staff. Terry was standing with the team internist.

Brandon was in the office picking his nose.

I just don’t think it’s like Moulson or Bogo.

Letang was a Norris candidate for a few years running

Can he read through a full progression and then hit his 3rd receiver in stride? Cause that’s what we need most right now.
