we all have bad days


welcome

I have no issue with extending him. I will admit I did not love trading for him, but I've come around to seeing just how good of a player he can be, just hope it stays that way.

He brings an excitement we have not seen since Max. I really hope it lasts and he grows up quickly. It will make for some fun hockey to watch as the young guys get better and better.

sabres retain 1.5 mil of kane's salary next year


kane for fowler

do you do it?
do the ducks do it?
- homiedclown

nope. (frank) nope. poop no.

What would Kane's stats look like without the rib injury? Does he crack 40?

Thanks off to a bit of a rocky start lol

Yeah, he's been impressive. But, I really hope Murray finally cleans house this offseason on the old vets taking up a bunch of cap space. We'll still have growing pains either way, but I think seeing our team being infused with the youth that's ready to be here full time will be super exciting. Leafs are doing that and it looks like they're going to the playoffs one year after being dead last.

named my russian blue cat after him

Lol good one I can remember quotes from several posters on here that they didn't want Fowler he wasn't what we were looking for.

I also don't remember saying I like the team losing, but holy crap I couldn't enjoy this team focusing on only the negatives got to be positive once and a while.

My son has Autism and not every day is good or even bearable but I get though it by grabbing onto postives its the only way the get through such negative patches in what ever it is. I just don't understand how you can be always down on them, are they perfect? Hell no, but whats the use of cheering for a team when all we do is complain.

ennis
moulson
bogo
gorges


imo those 4 deals bring the team down next year, regarding the cap

if they could move ennis, bogo or moulson this offseason

kane at 6 or 6.5 is an easier pill to swallow moving forward

Gorges needs to go its very evident that he cant keep up to the game anymore.

I watched Kane at least 60 times when he was with the Thrashers at Phillips arena. The guy was a beast! If he keeps playing to his potential why trade him at all?

Agreed. I just hope Murray doesn't pull off another dumb signing this offseason when cap space gets free.

Is his success fleeting? His track-record would suggest so. In that case, I say you do trade him high, as you reasonably expect his production to drop back down to 'not worth it' status.

He is getting quite a bit of puck luck; when his shooting % regresses, what will he look like?

I personally don't like Kane - I think the hype was undeserved. If you can take his value now and roll it into 1 or 2 players that can add something long-term, seems like a smart move to me?

I remember a handful of posters that wanted a certain german goalie when he was the backup in san jose


now look at him

Lets not forget the 500lbs Gorilla in the room Eichel who will have to be signed long term eventually as well. Probably 6-7mil per year maybe more if he gets stupid hot next year

This is the first time he's been able to play with someone like Jack ECHL's caliber, so it might be worth finding out if the success is sustainable, or like his record shows, fleeting. The offer would have to blow Murray away at this point, as he seems to have turned the corner professionally and personally.
