nylander


then a bunch of crap at lw


best thing for this team is a focused kane, and an extension


I don't want stink, stank and stunk playing lw on the other 3 lines

- homiedclown


I don't think Kane will re-sign here. If you get a vet LW for Kane in a trade you do it. He's worn out his welcome here. And I like EK and the way he plays but I gotta think his teammates are sick of this stuff he's done.

You don't? How many teams have a captain who isn't their best player?
- Sabresfan-365


Possibly Chicago?

I love Toews (as I'm fairly certain you're well aware) and think he's the best choice there for Captain, but is he really their "best" player? It's at least somewhat debatable.

I haven't checked but just saying it shouldn't be the reason you give them the C. That is one element of it but there are more important things to look at.

Listen, we just agree to disagree on this subject. ROR is captain material in my view. You see it differently.

I am one who hates the give it to the best player. That is the worst thing ever when I think OV has a C makes me vomit.

Everyone knows the only person who should wear the C is Matt Freaking Ellis

Bills signed WR Brandon Tate, formerly of the Bengals.
It only took Tate a few days to resurface after getting cut by the Bengals. The Bills are painfully thin at receiver behind Sammy Watkins but Tate probably won't move the needle much on offense. He should emerge as the Bills' primary return specialist, replacing injury-prone veteran Reggie Bush.


nothing like bringing in more trash to heap.

I like Kane as our #1 LW. With Nylander coming on board next season, the Sabres could be set up nicely for years, assuming they resign Kane. However, this will depend on Kane only having 2 beers at the bar and leaving them by 11 pm.

Hogan isn't a number 2 though but you watch he puts up great numbers playing in New England

Agreed, I figured my view on this would be met with a fair bit of criticism and I accept that. Perhaps I just see the role differently but I understand there are solid reasons for wanting ROR as captain.
