I was told otherwise. So much so that a Kane trade is not unlikely
- turbo044

Yea, I think he's Vancouver bound. Kind of sucks they already traded McCann

Give us Virtanen. Benning might

What team are you a fan of again??

The Heat right??

Pat Riley reminds me of The Emperor Darth Sideous he's not excluded either..
- bluengold12

He's the god father

I was told BUF, CHI, BOS, PIT, PHI. Toronto is a no
- turbo044

If he wants to play in the Northeast, his best chance to win a Cup go in this order IMO...

Tier 1- contenders now, and will be for the forseable future
-Pittsburgh
-Chicago

Tier 2- playoff teams, that need to add to be a legit contender
-NY Rangers
-NY Islanders
-Detroit
-Montreal

Tier 3- talented young teams on the way up
-Buffalo
-New Jersey
-Toronto

Tier 4- fringe playoff teams, struggling to stay relevant
-Boston
-Philly
-Ottawa


If I were him...
Pitt & Chicago are clear favorites
Then it's Buffalo, Toronto, & Boston in no particular order
We are the most up & coming, the other 2 bc of his connections

I think those are the final 5
That's what makes the most sense to me anyways

I'd meet with the teams in tier 2,
But I doubt I'd take them seriously

We are 3rd in line and if Eichel and playing in the top 6 mattered to him he would sign, I was told there are no other talks coming. The Hawks are very intriguing to him I was told.


Sabres
Leafs
Rangers
Hawks
Bruins


Maybe Red Wings and another late team as well.
- SABRES 89

0% chance for the leafs imo

The popular choice but there are a couple others. Vesey would be a nice replacement, but even if he goes to Boston, doesn't mean Kane wont be shipped off. With all the good happening around harborside, Pegula doesn't want Kane damaging it. Basically, 3 strikes and your out

There is nothing in stone he is moving Kane

Next year's forwards...
(Worst case scenario)

Nylander-Eichel-Reinhart
Ennis-O'Reilly-Okposo
Foligno-Larsson-Bailey
Moulson- ??? -Deslauriers

-maybe Girgensons still fits in somewhere,
but it seems like he's gonna get traded at some point

Top6 is still good
3rd line is gonna be tough to play against,
but probably won't score much
4th line is blah

I don't see us being able to beat Tampa, Pitt or Wash in the playoffs with that lineup... Still need to add some scoring

- SABRES 89

There is nothing not in stone that he isn't moving Kane either....

You forgot Gionta.

That was for NEXT year
This is the last year of his contract
I doubt he's re-signed

2 things...

J!E!T!S! JETS! JETS! JETS!

and

As far as the draft goes...they'll look back on today and they'll say: "Datsyuk..Pavelski..Lundquvist...Feetontheair" Diamonds in the (Lindy) ruff

I wouldnt move him. We arent getting vesey. Vancouver doesnt have much- and they have no reason to offer it if they did. Id rather just accept that hes a steaming pile of sugar and hope he puts up 20/45 while staying out of jail. Stranger things is fantastic fyi

Apparently it's close enough for Vesey to be seriously considering them

We are still talking about a so called "bar fight " correct ? not murder but a bar fight.

He will ? news to me.

39 may have had sources a few years ago but doesn't seem to know much these days. Some of the stuff he's come up.with lately just doesn't make sense. 89's uncle seems more in the known but the inner circle has become a lot more tight lipped since the Babcock debacle. Vesey really has no idea where he's going, but Eichel is a very strong selling point. Boston would be a slam dunk if it wasn't for.the idiotic direction the team has gone in likely.

I'm not saying 39 is right or wrong and i' not saying the other guy that show's up here is right or wrong either, I know who my uncle's friend is on the Sabres staff and I know he is legit.

All I know it won't be the leafs and I'm happy

Great game!! One of the coolest parts was 2 days later, in Montreal . The Sabres took the ice in pre-game to a 5 minute standing ovation. The Soviets were destroying the NHL until the Sabres literally kicked the sh*t out of them.
- turbo044

The Russians were scared as hell of Korab.

Best game I ever went to was game 6 against New Jersey, the 70 save Hasek shutout masterpiece.

Jim Kelly and a couple of other Bills were there very, very late.
