It's actually quite cheap considering that the PS3 started out at like 700$

I bought my 360 gig PS3 last October for like $200 and it came with a wireless controller and a few games, so I'm not gonna drop like $400 for a PS4.... yet maybe when it drops to like $300 ish

Cody was the team leader in points. Point to his support but he outscored all of those players.

Look, you guys dont have to fabricate to cover Gillis' ass.

But he did play with Vanek and the sabres best players and PP where kassian played with Richardson, Booth, hansen, Higgins, and such .... Not exactly any offensive support there. All I am trying to say is if we had put Kassian in the same position to put up points as the sabres did with Hodgson I bet he would have a much closer points differential then he has.

So few people are willing to consider what you just said. And it doesnt mean Kassian is not going to be good... or that Cody is the next Toews.

I think it's a matter of not wanting to add onto the heap of disappointment that was this past few years of relative success, which I can understand

Doesnt anyone consider that Kassian isnt a top 6 forward yet? So of course he doesnt get to play with higher end talent. These stat comparisons keep steering away from the point.

No one mentions just how horrific the defensive play is in Buffalo either. I really doubt that Kassian would be the team leader on the Sabres.... I mean we can go on for days like this... but lets not. I was talking about the trade. You guys always want to just piss match about the players like there's nothing else to consider.... like Gillis crashing this team with trades like this one, Ballard, Booth etc... you can compare these two players all you want but you'd have to have amnesia to say we won this trade.... or a crystal ball able to see all the glory Kassian is going to bring.

Cody getting better ice time and line mates changes none of that.

The only fair way to consider this is if Kassian played with the same lines as Hodgson in Buffalo. You Believe Kassian would lead the Sabres in points? Carry the #1 PP?

...Cody was already carrying a 3rd line and 2nd PP unit in his rookie season here with the same players more or less you say Kassian suffered.

I dunno, where is all this getting people in their arguments? Aside from steering away from the actual point.
