Kakko looks like a very underwhelming top 2 pick.

I’d be very displeased if he was a main piece for Eichel.

Kakko had a terrible first year. His second year was dominant defensively but couldn’t finish offensively. If 3rd year for him

I'm sure there's a lot going on behind the scenes. Jack's camp got defensive with their press release and the appearance of their doctor, who does "minimally invasive" surgery furthered that notion.

It's just a really weird to me.

His body...THAT trumps bad look for Franchise

He shouldn't have signed his rights away then.

Funny how people cry after signing their rights away

I think he’s gonna be a decent player at least.

But I don’t think his offense will ever be top end, and that is kinda the type of prospect the Sabres need back for Eichel.

As the focus though? If you get two or three guys like him sure, but to be the center piece? No thanks

Ask the regulars over at the ranger board and they’ll tell you the same thing I said
- rangerdanger94
NY ranger fans have a bias opinion on him. Ask anyone who isnt a ranger fan, see what they say.

He’ll end up being a second line winger at best. 50-60 points per year

Doesn't even have to drill, just sell some more of the land with oil rights in Virginia and Colorado.

Sure.


Public money shouldn’t be used for this kind of stuff anymore.

Take out a loan, it’s not like the money isn’t coming in by the truckloads in the NFL.

i remember the hasek/peca situations as well as the ownership quagmire post-Knox bros...six months after seymour knox III died, the jumbotron fell and it's been pretty weird ever since

Not wishing a debilitating, slow but certain death sentence to him isn’t a defense of him. Wtf dude

If he moves the Bills out of buffalo, this will be tame.

He wont be able to step foot withing 500 miles of this city.

There would be riots at teh stadium.

Technically his body his choice, but realistically he's under a contract that states exactly what choice he has.

Which is listen to the team doctors.

Bad look also isnt including bad asset management.

Sure were off the hook for $50 million, but he is a tremendous asset for this franchise.
Can't risk that coming off 4/8 last place finishes

- Boss34


So you subscribe to in theory My body, my choice.
But practically, you reject it for others.

Put yourself in Jack's place, how would you feel...hey, so this will be the first of likely 3 maybe 4 of these fusion surgeries in your lifetime Mr Boss34...each one fusing more vertebra together, and with each succeeding surgery you will lose more flexibility permanently.

Ya, didn't think so.
He is human too, not just a $10m / year contract.

C'mon man.

This is a man who doubled his net worth. Laid hundreds of people of work who can hardly support their families during a pandemic, now wants money to fund a stadium or move the team to another city that will ?

Golisano would have made an extra $70M to sell the Sabres to a man who would have moved him out of Buffalo. That’s a true hero.

Terry is the definition of a cuck, and I’m not even a Bills fan. I call a spade a spade though

I’m not defending him and you are correct, he doesn’t care about us peasants. Instead of dying a slow painful death, I would want him to schart his pants on live tv.

Defensively he was on the of the best shutdown forwards. I didn’t say his entire game was dominant.

And I’m not disputing any of the above, but wishing a horrible death on him is well beyond simply calling a spade a spade, That’s all.

So trade a high scoring offensive Center for a low scoring defensive minded forward. I love watching the Sabres lose 2-1.
