It wasn't funny the first time.

The second and third it just became annoyingly redundant.

I'm a huge Vanek fan, and I think he has that ability, but he would need better linemates than he had to ALWAYS be that kind of guy (like what the Sabres are building up to now - imagine Kane-Reinhart/McEichel-Vanek???).

But no, I would not say anyone on this team has struck "fear" into opposition in that sense since #89

Lafontaine at center and Mogilny on the wing was as scary as they come. Too bad they could never really complete that line.

I mean a Kane McEichel Kessel line sounds like an intimidating line to me and not to mention that is one FAST line too

Not that he already isn't getting headlines, but now with Kane gone, Kessel is going to lead that talk, I think.

Deslauriers is player X, I knew I was forgetting someone. Larsson wouldn't have much say in the matter. And realistically, until yesterday, sabres trading for kane was a pipe dream.
- Mentalorgasm5


He does have a say. He's an RFA this year with serious questions as to where he belongs. If he doesn't like what he hears, he may ask to get traded.

That's where I differ. I want ONE guy like that on "my" team. I don't want a team full of 2-way players who suffer offensively for it. Give me 1 stud offensive guy who teams have to fear will score on them at any moment. The Sabres haven't had that since....
- stashu


Kane, McDavid, Reinhart...
Don't those guys for the bill?
And I don't think a guy that is good defensively, but still scores 25+ goals should be considered as suffering offensively
I'm not interested in a collection of all-stars...
I want Murray to build a "TEAM"

First bold - no, I don't think so. I'm talking about 1 dynamic/major scoring threat

Second bold - I'm talking about one player, not a team full of one-way players

You wouldn't pay 8M for a 35+ goal scorer?? This isn't some "Kane isn't a 30-goal scorer" debate, he's done it for years now.

But yes, I agree on the term, very scary...but I'd still do it.

I could see a scenario where Reinhart starts on the wing & plays with McDavid (again) and Kane
That line could rival any in the nhl in time

For what it would take and then have the term and cap hit he has, I still pass.

McDavid definitely does
I guess u could argue whether of not Kane & Reinhart are that guy
I don't think they're at the level of Kessel, but they're dynamic offensively all the same

When building a cup team, the "Kessels" really aren't there lately
Chicago has pat Kane, who I think is the type guy you're talking about...
But I wouldn't say LA or Boston have anyone like that
