So Kahun...

The good: He has 23 career goals and 41 career assists, and 21 and 39 of those are even strength. He plays 13-14 minutes a night, so he reliably can be asked to do exactly what Sheary does, which is provide a mild offensive output 5v5 from a 3rd line role, except he is under contract and probably will be a little cheaper. The upside is he is younger and may have a somewhat higher ceiling.

The bad: He played a lot with DeBrincat and then Malkin, and I doubt he plays with Eichel, so his numbers going up don't seem likely.

Big picture, it's two forwards out and two in, and the two in seem like a very minor improvement. The downside is that very minor improvements to a trainwreck seem pathetic.

Schopp and BD killing Botterill. Still. Even with all the yeoman's work Botts has done for almost the last year and a half getting these moves done today.

You evidence against Botts is Schopp & Bulldog?!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Who cares?
That’s about as credible as RicoMartin’s trade fantasies on here! 😂

Sort of lateral movement that's cheaper and fits the timeline better. About what you would expect from deadline day. I do like the move much more than trading them separately for 4th/5th rounders.

Did Botts have anything to do with getting Kahun to Pitt??

Was Botts a scout at that time in Pitt?

It does kill me that had Botterill traded for Haula in the off season, we could easily have Trochek right now without losing a ton
- jcragcrumple

We would probably be closer to Toronto in the standings too...

But shhhh

Ducks and Habs are not done yet.

Sure... but that’s pretty extreme hindsight

So 23 career goals in what? 5 seasons....6?

Kahun was a rookie last year

good low risk move imo. The goodrow one still gets me. Im not entirely convinced he's any better than Johan Larsson. But that's just me.

Sabres would be wise to invest in more of these low risk-high reward. Lazar has turned out alright. Our big swings however...

2 actually, well almost 2

Olofsson Eichel Reinhart

LOG line


Line wise???


Also did the Sabres leave yet for Colorado? Would it be weird to be on the plane knowing you got traded

I thought I heard they leave tomorrow.

Well I wanted Haula at the time. And i wanted Trochek as well. So it's not really hindsight for me.

That said, I think JB did pretty well considering the position he was in - the position he put himself in to a large degree, imo

Ducks and Habs are not done yet.

Hmmm

Well Buffalo is done so unless its a crazy trade nothing to hold your breath for
