Don't have to like him, just have to work with him.

I agree, everyone gets along better when you are winning. He adds something we do not have. (Yet) 100 plus catch possession guy.

Lehner was built for NASCAR and can't turn right. Makes a 270º left circle to get back in position. He's so horrible getting back into position.

So you're saying he's not an ambi-turner?

I guess they think 2017 was a fluke... LOL

The value around this supposed 4 piece deal is also entirely skewed.


1st round pick: could be conditional and fall anywhere from 20-30

roster player: could literally mean anything from bad contract to expendable guy at deep position

prospect: again this could be anything, probably a bailey type or something

conditional pick: conditional on him re-signing which is really 50/50 maybe even less


Edit: I flat out overreacted to the asking price, it's so vague it basically opens the door to any offer

It’s all speculation right now
We’ll just have to wait & see what we get

I don't think its that far off.

Aging roster that is going to go through major turnover and possibly have a rookie QB.

Doug Armstrong says blues aren't interested in acquiring rental players.

"Phil Housley said Okposo will play on Saturday while Baptiste is a possibility."

So dumb.

Translation: "We might might scratch a scrub so Baptiste can play with two of our other scrubs on the 4th line."

Play him with Eichel or send him down

It's a glass half full/empty opinion IMO. Not saying you are wrong, but couldn't you just as easily say it's unfair because we made the playoffs this year AND have 4 picks in the first two rounds?

I don't believe too many teams are interested in giving up quality for kane.


That being said, a first rounder is a first rounder. I mean that in the context of us hopefully being able to add a quality asset, not as in all first round picks are equal

I'm not nearly as big on kane as most here so the return for him to me is almost irrelevant. As long as something with upside (be it a first rounder or prospect) comes back i'd be happy with it.

I know we need high end defenders, it's not gunna happen with a kane trade. It'll likely take our top pick this year or trading a package of our better young forwards to make it happen.

lots of turnovers, key injuries for the other teams, new quarterback most likely

you think going down 2 wins is unrealistic?

You neglected to mention the bottom-10 ranked offense and defense.

I hope Botts signs him and brings him to Rochester for the playoff run.

He's over there tanking for us so that Dahlin starts to stink and he slips in the draft to #4 where we'll be.

Former #Sabres player Mike Weber retired today. He gave an outstanding press conference to the Swedish media at @frolunda_hc practice. He said he couldn't lift his two year old child because of knee damage, he needs a knee replacement. 1/

If the sabres announced they signed weber for the rest of this season, it wouldn't suprise me.

For all the hockey buzzers who keep wanting wins and think this season is not purposely a tank season, that would be the answer
