I don't see a bald magician on the bench running the pp units? What's the deal?

I don't believe that but even if thats true, bolded is exactly what im getting at. They waited till the talent was there before adding the complimentary winger on a big deal. Not the other way around.

But if we just play with youngsters then we end up like the Oilers did
I don’t wanna sign up for that either

He had 45p in 65g his first year here. You're making him out to be a scrub, which he isn't
- jcragcrumple

45 pts in 65 games that makes 6.5 a year, scrub. Okposo is trash and has business on this team. Darcy did the same crap with Leino, had no intentions of signing Brad Richards it was all smoke and mirrors to grab Leino. Murray focused on Okposo and he shouldn't have.

I think the oilers became the oilers cause they couldn't address the defence. Im not saying play only youngsters, im saying wait till a proper core of forwards and defensemen is established before dishing out big cash to scoring wingers.

55 points and no all star game, not that I care about the all star game.

This team is so far away from being good it doesn't matter who is here anymore. Feel bad for Eichel.

I’m not touching this. But tell me the outcome.

I have no idea. There's nothing about it after his counterclaim on 9/20/16. But there was definitely a suit filed, 2, in fact. She said every word but rape. "'unwanted, unconsented to, violent and offensive in nature physical battery'", "causing cuts and bleeding that required multiple surgeries.", and "'serious emotional trauma' and 'serious, permanent and painful personal injuries.'" sounds an awful lot like rape to me.

Again. Not saying whether I think he did it or not. I was told my facts weren't straight. They absolutely are.

His cap hit is 6 mil

Putting him in the same breath as Leino is insanity.

He has 6 points in 3 games. He's not the reason the Sabres aren't signing Kane. Aside from the inherent risk of signing an oft-injured player like Kane to a 7 year deal, we have 16 mil tied up in Pominville, Moulson and Bogo.

common ground achieved.

How is that diving ??????????

we don't know that kane is getting 7 since hes not a ufa yet
- Sabresfan-365

The only way Kane gets $7M is if there's a massive bidding war.

man this is the lowest point for samson

This probably helps your point but his attitude issues were grossly over exaggerated especially in Toronto.

In reality the only ones with an actual problem were Burke and maybe Kadri in his early days.
- Sabresfan-365

It’s no surprise when that type of thing gets exaggerated

I think that’s what Kane supporters are basically saying as well

More that it was just immaturity than it was causing legit issues

Tough to say how accurate the stuff that came out was
I’ve seen enough to say the stuff that happened here in Buffalo was probably overblown
(Except the NBA all star game...
that was just a dumbass move on his part not making sure he was back & at practice)

It's not insanity it's 2 bad contracts.

Okposo is a waste of a contract for this team and another example of why Murray is gone. JT made Okposo a very good player and that's it.
- SABRES 89

45 pints in 65 games last year in buffalo.
No JT
Bad team

- SABRES 89

He was the last pick in the draft at the all-star game he did play in

how can you dive when you get boarded ?

Why was Sam penalized?

EDIT: NM. I see 89's post now.

The only way Kane gets $7M is if there's a massive bidding war.
- Wetbandit1

im more curious over how many years. Im convinced someone will pay him the dollars, Im not sure anyone gives him more than 4 years or so. Thats been the speculation for a while now, at least this side of the border.

It's not insanity it's 2 bad contracts.
- SABRES 89

Leino and Okposo aren't even close to being in the same conversation, no matter how many times you say it

- Sabresfan-365

The timing seldom works out that way. Need good picks and D that turned out better than the good picks. Same with the offense . Tough to get those planets aligned .

Still...

Gerbe was the one (on here) saying it would be Allen

I think most on here thought it would be Rosen or Darnold
I know i did
(Although i also suggested they’d take Barkley 1st & then get a QB 4th)
- jdfitz77

He said it would be Allen, two days ago after the NFL has been buzzing about the browns and Allen for the last couple weeks. What does Gerbe deserve credit for? Reading a report??

Nobody is going to win with you with Kane and you won't win with me with Okposo.

- Sabresfan-365

I’m just saying Kessel would get more if they were both signing deals this offseason

It’s not fair to compare what Kane will sign for VS what guys signed for 2 or 3 years ago

Salaries are gonna go up
