I still love the part where our wildest dreams consist of being a barely watchable 30th place team

Whose wildest dreams is that? Literally no Sabres fan

I call them video game trades. Kane for RoR, then just keep adding junk til they say yes.

I'd imagine Kane's value is in the same ballpark as Karlsson. Both are too crazy for me to think much about. Most of our prospects are B chips. Those deals would take multiple A chips.

I get what you are saying. Proabably not happening.

Karlson, best defenseman in the league, about to be a ufa next off season, looking for 12 million. Trading with in the division. Not practical.

Pkane88. Buffalo connection, hawks are rebuilding and cap strapped. They have toews who is their captain.

Sabres need to sell tickets. That would give Russ Brandon a huge angle.
It's not always about just the player on the ice.

Probably won't happen,but not the pipe dream of karlson

PK88 coming to Buffalo would be huge no matter 29 or 30. Him and Eichel would be dynamic IMO. Eichel really needs someone like him even though his contract is HUGE.

If we aren't going to build around Eichel and get him a winger then trade him, it's obvious we haven't found one for him yet. I know people are going to go off on me but why pay him and keep him if your're not going to help him. It's about Eichel and making this team better now, and i'm not big on adding more money and I did say Botterill is looking to remove huge contracts from this team but, PK88 is a different story.

Pkane is 30 not 40.

He is the best American to ever play.
30-35.

I would love to see him 41 times a year / plus playoffs at home

His experience should count for something
Nhl scoring leader

This isn't evander Kane, with zero playoff experience

- Boss34


Okay, well, we'll have to agree to disagree on it being worth it to bring him here.

I agree. Kane is a great player and might have a few more years at being a top winger in the NHL, but I feel Chicago already got his best years. And, at what I'll take to get him in a Sabres' jersey, the price is too steep. I'd rather see Mittelstadt and Zardina/Svech/Dahlin best years as a Sabre then watch them as a Blackhawk while hoping Kane doesn't fall into diminishing returns and putting us into cap hell.

The best ever?
Thats a big statement right there. Everything is arguable but i wouldnt go that far.
Everything else i would agree with. I just dont think bringing him in is feasable at this point for this team.

- TheHank


Chelious? Modano? Hull? Housley?

I think pkane88 is 17th in American scoring? Top 20 anyways.

I guess I'm projecting him quite a bit.
Season tickets UP in value?????

Friedman-

Couple other quick notes: if WIN looks for a depth LD, one possibility is Viktor Antipin from BUF. He played for Paul Maurice in KHL...also FLA, which snared a huge win tonight, showing serious interest in Ryan McDonagh from NYR.

Except the eichel trading part. I know what you are saying, but we have a few years before the panic button get a hit.

Eichel needs a partner for sure.

I was just equating their value. It starts with 4 pieces you don't want to give up, not 4 pieces you'd like to move.

I just get frustrated we are paying him 80 mill and what we have now isn't working with him.
