"The question came quietly to a handful of players.

“What should the Sabres do with Evander Kane?”

In every instance – every one – the response was the same. They raised their eyebrows, tilted their head and took a deep breath.

“That’s a tough one,” they said."

I don't think he is here for the long haul man.

Like I said, this team has bigger issues then Evander Kane and if they can't see it, the problems will never get fixed. 15 and 55, anyone else should look out.

So Dallas hired Hitchcock

I would move ROR before I moved Kane out. ROR is a nice player, but don't think he is part of "core" that gets us to a Stanley Cup

I would have to disagree with you on that one, ROR is more valuable to this team then Kane is and i'm a Kane fan. I didn't include ROR and Okposo on the list because they aren't moving either one and most know that.

O'Reilly plays all three phases of the game and gets 60-65 points a year while never taking penalties. Don't get me wrong, i like Kane but he doesn't bring the versatility that ROR does

You guys can disagree with me all you want, he's not part of a winning core.

He's a good player no doubt, but $7.5M good? I'll take Kane at 6.0-6.5, he puts the biscuit in the basket.

Yeah, well, that just like, your opinion, man. Idk where you're getting that though. Great on faceoffs, similar point production to Toews and the players all respect him

He had eight more goals than O'reilly. 8 goals isn't worth the two-way play, playmaking, faceoffs, leadership and PK play

Like you guys would "Jesus Christ" Comparing him to Toews

Proposal from another board. It seems everyone thinks its a good deal.


Sam Reinhart, #6
Chris Tanev, #2

I'm all for this. Replace Reinhart with Nico or Patrick with the #2.
Move Kane Possibly for another D-man.
Sign Antipin

McCabe+ for Landeskog then?

Out
McCabe
Reinhart
6OA
Kane
Additional asset for Landy

IN
Landy
Antipin
Tanev
D-man from
- ImThatGuy

compare these two ideas:

reinhart +6OA for tanev +2OA.

and

reinhart for hanifin

in the first trade, we get a 27 year old, right handed, steady defenseman and either patrick or hischier at pick 2. this draft is weak, but its reasonable to me that hischier could be better than reinhart at some point. tanev is under contract for 3 more years at roughly 4.5. i think what i like least about this is that tanev is another righty.

reinhart for hanifin is another trade i have seen mentioned. its two pedigreed young players, neither has been bad, but neither has played to their potential, both are blocked by other players at their natural position with their current organization. hanifin is a left handed d. sabres keep pick 6 and draft bpa, which could very well be makar (rhd) or heiskanen (lhd) and wait for them to develop.

Like you guys would "Jesus Christ" Comparing him to Toews
- jzabawa

Points-wise and style-of-play wise, his comparable is Toews

compare these two ideas:

reinhart +6OA for tanev +2OA.

Good trade for Buffalo but horrible trade for Vancouver.

This is close to being the dumbest thing I read today. Only thing that beats it is this:

I think once ror is dropped to the clear cut second line and eichel is on the clear cut top line


we will see better production from both

ror will still get the same ice time due to pk play

I would love to see him play about 18-19 minutes. That's optimal IMO

I'm guessing we're out of Cal Peterson, otherwise he would have signed by now. Predicting Murray will say, "we'd like to have him, but it's in the players' hands now. he's earned that right."
