Okay so here's a follow up then, what's the hesitation for? Other than the obvious mess that the front office has been this past year?
- Tsyolin

Word is he wants to stay close to home in midwest.

I usually go by that philosophy but I'm not sold on a lot of our forward prospects except for Nylander, Pu, maybe Baptiste.
- GilPerreault11

And Asplund

Because Petersen doesn't have to sign here
He can wait till July1st & become a free agent
Then sign with whoever he wants

Similar to the Vesey situation from last year
- jdfitz77

Yeah but unlike the Vesey situation from last year everybody knew well ahead of time that Vesey was gonna wait till he could test the market, and we only made that trade to have some personal "alone time" with the dude. Petersen on the other hand hasn't made his intentions clear as of yet.

And Asplund
- GilPerreault11

BIngo.... Asplund!!!

Lordy I hope there are tapes.

just generic comment not you personally

I think him having not already signed makes his intentions pretty clear.

He said he's going to listen to offers on July 1st

#Canes come to Buffalo and offer 12th overall for Evander Kane. Do you say yes or do they add more? #Sabres

What sort of damage could the Sabres do with 8th and 12th overall?

Could that get them into the top 2?

Is it worth moving into the top 2 for 2 high firsts?

Is Kane worth 12th overall? Is 12th overall enough?
- Stripes77

Wow, I'd certainly want to add more but that is a real offer. There will be a good player or two available at 12 even if we stay there. I like Tolvanen, but with two firsts you could reach for a Valamaki, Brannstrom or Hague. I would entertain that offer.

Burn!

Anyone posting a Kane to Minny trade obviously isn't making sense
With their forwards, they can resign him
- jdfitz77

He was almost a Wild a year ago

Nashville is definitely interested in Matt Duchene. However, if trade ask is for a defenceman, the Preds likely aren't a fit by choice.

I take it and run. One year left on his contract? Hell yes.

Why would The Walking Dead have the FOX logos in the top right corner??????? lol What kind of bootleg gif is this!?

stop lying

Yea but you could end up with another Grigorenko and Armia and still not have a top 6 winger and two more guys underachieving that you'll never get anything value for.

Trade 1 of the picks to Vegas for Theodore,
and pick a defenseman with the other

But then we have Kane's spot to fill

- JVince11

no clue, I have asked that question a few times


it clearly shows what petersen thinks of buffalo though

stop lying
- homiedclown

It's a legit rumour u don't remember?

- sbroads24

They're in a much different spot now though
Granlund & Zucker both finally established themselves
And they signed Staal

It's a legit rumour u don't remember?

the sabres made zero calls to shop Kane at the deadline


received some low ball offers that didn't justify more than a 30 second call

calls came from kings, ducks, oilers, bruins

You have to take the best deal on the table and a rather high first round pick for a rental is going to be the best deal on the table I bet and I don't want to trade Kane, I'd rather re-sign him. If he'll re-sign then don't trade him.
