Cuz it'll likely only be 1 season of an "AHL roster" is my guess.

I do find it funny though that he wouldn't go to Toronto because of the rivalry and playing Montreal so much....yet we play Montreal just as much, don't we?

I know the rivalry isn't as strong as TO/MON, but still division rivals for a very long time.

It is a Canadian thing .

kinda like dumping all your trash on a parking lot right next to the trash cans?

Ooo Mr. Defensive! But at least Robidas is an NHL player. I guess it's ok that most sabres fans will already think gator is NHL calibre though, seeing as they're icing an AHL team this year.

Also while we are at it lets look at the improvements to the Sabres roster vs the improvements? of the Leafs roster:

Signed Matt Moulson
Signed Brian Gionta
Signed Cody McCormick
Signed Andrej Meszaros
Traded for Josh Gorges

That's just at the NHL level, the Gator trade as you like to call it is for the future

Lets see what the Leafs have done

Signed Mike Santorelli
Signed Stephane Robidas

Hmm yeah go run your mouth elsewhere

Only at 42 I believe. They have to sign him first for him to count and if they don't sign him they don't lose that 7th round pick

Do we even want E.Kane at this point? His talent is unquestionable, but it seems like he's going to pout unless he gets exactly what he wants. I don't see him changing his tune if he gets sent to Buffalo.

No Thank you . Needs to get his head screwed on right . Don Meehan ( his agent ) has to sit this kid down and have a long talk.

murray has to figure out his top 6 moving forward

moulson, reinhart, ennis are locks, for the next 4 years

that leaves gringo, armia as maybes

compher, bailey, baptiste, fasching, carrier, lemieux as big question marks

kane would bolster rebuild right away, if that is the direction murray wants to go

I have to agree... Looks great on paper.. but I don't know if Buffalo is exactly going ot change his tune or make him level up.

I do want E. Kane but not until next season. You have to remember he is 22 years old. Some guys are born leaders and more mature when they are that age. Reinhart for example is more mature at 18 than Kane is at 22. However if you have a coach that can work him through his short comings and a strong veteran presence in the locker room I wouldn't say no to a player with the skill set of E. Kane. Look at what Boston did with Seguin. They gave up on a 22 year old who ended up putting up 84 points last season on a new team.

The thought of having someone with that size, speed, and skill playing along side a player with playmaking abilities like Reinhart gets me excited.

LOL!!!!!!

This coming from a fan of probably the worst managed team in the NHL. Why would players NOT wanna sign there and sign with the worst team in the league? There has to be something to THAT.
