And have 2 years of pro hockey under his belt(slide years BTW) and still have 3 EL years left.

Sounds like a great deal but that means he can't play up here past 10 games even for call ups right ?

Kane plays garbage ass selfish hockey. He doesn't live anywhere near his potential.

9 games per season for a year to be activated from his ELC.

This year and maybe next year he stays in Rochester and then the 2018-2019 season the Sabres will have 3 years of him on his ELC still.

Regardless the Sabres should be smart and utilize the slide rule. Give them 3 full years of his ELC in the NHL. Give him 5-8 games at the end of the season (if they are out of the playoffs) and make a decision on him next season.

Gerbe, let's make a bet. If you like Rogue One, you ban yourself for a week. If you don't like Rogue One, you ban yourself for 2 weeks.

Instead of attempting to speed up a rebuild?

good point...but opportunity knocked and he went for the short-term push...if he can get this team playing to the level of the talent he accumulated, all the players drafted from 2016 on will have ample time to develop...

at least that's what I believe the plan is

The way they played that game is how we all expect them to play every night. Gotta win out 2016.

But it sort of worked from Bylsma's perspective; Kane finally took advantage of his top line ice time after being demoted

It seems to be getting crowded on the roster ATM. with players coming back. Now just have to sort out the weak and unproductive players .

good point...kane's a moody son-of-a-gun, but when he's on his game he's a helluva player

That would be the forecheck from hell for the other teams.....but if that line is on the ice I would hope you'd have Risto and McCabe on the back end..

the Eichel LW spot is still up for grabs, somebody just has to take it. Moulson's a sniper who can't get himself into a position to snipe, and Kane's a sniper who can't snipe. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

yeah...one fan called feaster brilliant because the flames traded down and got jankowski who's yet to play a game in the nhl...

he is what he is right now, a defensive-minded fourth-liner...which is the role Bylsma has him in...plus he's only making $1.15 million...I don't see much of a problem with that
