Who the hell is Matthews Austin ? Is that Steve Austin's kid

This cruddy weather is perfect for making beef stew, loaded with red wine and Lagunitas oatmeal stout while listening to Tom Waits.

I'd rather go for Ladd for 3 years.

Sure, but he would be an idiot to take 3 years. Someone will overpay for him for 6 years.

Marvel just poop all over DC with civil war I don't think DC has a chance in hell to compete with that maybe suicide squad comes close but I don't see it

It's so depressing as a DC fan and I cried during Batman versus Superman of how bad it was

but this movie hit all the right notes as a Comic book fan it was absolutely perfect

As a lover of non-comic book movies it depresses the hell out of me to see all of these good actors in these kinds of movies

I don't really think that's always a forgone conclusion. There is this thought that every FA always gets a max 6 or 7 year deal.

Mike Green 3 years
Paul Stastny signed for 4 years
Ryan Miller signed for 3

He would have signed with the Peg if he wanted less than 6/36 (I believe that was the rumor). The other two are at the end of their careers and not good comparisons.

Kane disagrees.

He wants 6 mill a year correct ?

Staal may not have to be the guy in Buffalo but he still has to perform at a top level. The guy's numbers have steadily been going down since 2010-2011 season. He'd be an absolute eyesore in Buffalo.

He and Kane don't like each other so don't count on him even looking at coming to buffalo.

Of course everyone is rumored to want big money. And Green and Miller were around Ladd's age.

Paul Stastny is a perfect example of a player who could/should have got a giant deal and took 4 years. It happens more than you think

Batman vs Superman was better than Civil War.

Marvel movies seem more kiddish than anything else.

DC movies are for the grown IMO.

Best Marvel movie was easily Deadpool, the others don't even come close from an adult's perspective.

Kane disagrees.

Good maybe a team values Kane enough to trade a bunch for a 35 point player

I think everyone you mentioned on this list had real questions around them. Green was broken down, Miller was aging (and a goalie) and Statsney was soft and not a top-line center. Even with his questions Statsney still got 7 a year.

I get what you are saying - he might not get paid. But the reality is he most likely will. TM was right - a guy like Sharp is the perfect target.

A Sabres fan defending Neil and Lucic?
The White Walkers must have gotten thru the Wall.

Neil I couldn't care for but Lucic is a pretty sick player. Just because he bowled over Cryin Ryan doesn't mean he should be shunned from Buffalo.

I think you forgot to mention 35 points in 65 games in a new system with a new team that was basically all brand new to one another...

$7+ million a year a player of Statsny's caliber is a lot bud. Even if it's over 4 years.

Ladd doesn't have questions after a down year?

I'm not saying he won't get paid, I'm saying it's not forgone that everyone inks 6 and 7 year deals.

Eric Staal ?....................... PASS

Makes no difference. It's 4 years and not 6 or 7, which is the point

Lol your to much....

Did you even watch Kane play this season? The poop that he didn't bring offensively he brought in with good hustle and grit on both the forecheck and defense. Had he played the full season he'd be 3rd in scoring on the team with 44 points.
