I know homie and 89 have good sources and often provide accurate info here but I firmly believe that Botts had no intention of ever re signing Kane.

Not just because of the recent report but because it doesn't really make sense with the blueprint he wants and learned from the Pens and it doesn't fit the timeline of being patient with where the sabres are headed.

I still think kyle is very good at hockey.
Still a 60 point guy and team guy

I'll wait for my beatdown

Not that i know what happened in the hotel room
But i literally watch girls chase Buffalo Sabres around from bar to bar trying to bed them down

My facts were called into question. I'm just stating that he did, in fact, get sued.

I agree. I think he'll play good playoff hockey too. But he'll probably do it as a slightly overpaid 3rd liner/PP specialist

I have no idea, he said she didn't sue. She definitely did, and he counter-sued. She was definitely injured.

Put more talent on the Sabres and it's equal.

Which means nothing

Except it’s nice to see Okposo playing better

I think it’s safe to say that his horrible start was probably bc he wasn’t in shape from his medical condition

Hopefully he keeps it up
Still a big contract, but he’s producing at a decent rate again since game10 or so

Kessel would be a better fit with Eichel than Kane imo

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.

Great point . Cheeseburgers and all.

I'm thinking we sign Kane for 6.25. And I would be happy with that.

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.

Neither is if the core is unfinished. You bring those guys after, not before

I said back in the day that Kessel would never win a Cup bc of his sh!t attitude

Now obviously going to Pitt helps

But have we heard anything about him being a bad teammate?

Guys grow up
It happens

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.

I don't know how Kane isn't in prison yet.

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

When did he sign that deal though?

What do u think Kessel would get if he was a UFA this year?

If Kane is getting 7...
then Kessel gets 8? 8.5? More???

That was at the time. Afterward when she filed suit she said he sexually assaulted her, causing "'serious emotional trauma' and 'serious, permanent and painful personal injuries.'"

Then he filed a counterclaim saying it was bullpoop.

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

And that's what it would cost to replace Kanes points .

Not draft picks. I'm tired of waiting on them . They are like hot women you pick up and can't wait to lose them after a couple outings

Indeed.

She also filed the suit more than 6 months after the "encounter" in the hotel room; a few days after the cluster(frank) at the bar with the other woman. Make of that what you will.
