Was sammy's "behavior " worse than kane's?
- Boss34

It isn't all about behavior, Sammy didn't play hard and then complained he wasn't getting used more...

Remember as well, since Kane has been here he's missed one practice. He's not guilty of any other transgressions. No criminal complaint was ever filed against him.

We could trade Okposo if we kept some celery.

Honestly, I'd consider it. Jack ECHL took a "discount" and we could easily absorb 1 million of Okposo's Salary.

And our owner loves paying guys who are no longer employed by him.

See: Ted Nolan, Tim Murray, Dan Bylsma, Rex Ryan.

Sammy had the whole twitter issue too "you all go off to your jobs" when people criticized him for going to Disney with his family on his day off

Is it a fact that kane only missed 1 practice? Unless your disco dan, thats Pretty general. I think he took today off from practice.

Kane was on probation or some stay out of trouble agreement. He had to stay out of trouble for a period of time for chrages to be dropped?
That's not something that happens to law abiding citizens.

OK been busy im here for the fun

Forgot about that with Sammy tbh and I was just talking about unexcused absences from practice. Not trying to argue he's a model citizen here, just that he isn't the nightmare off the ice he was billed as when he came here. If he was that ridiculous he'd be in the news again. He's been good for whatever that's worth to you. Sammy's issues were constant.

Corgis are great

Hodgson won the trade he's still getting paid.

Not sure about the sabres easily winning it.
Kassian could still get his name on the cup. Western conference finals last year right?
Pretty sure cody's chances of winning the cup sailed a few years ago.

We probably did "beat" Vancouver in the trade, but player wise, pretty even
- Boss34

So Edmonton won the Hodgson/Kassian trade?? Because he has them in second last place in the Western Conference? After being waived by the Canadians???

That’s some crazy shut, Boss.

That's cute lol

That's funny when you put it that way. I guess I'm saying that kassian is a slightly better nhl player for their careers. He may have. Bit left as well.. He had some tough times in his life, especially in Vancouver . Not sure if we won the trade easily, I think we are still paying cody?

Sammy hasn't put together anything close to evanders past year or so. He's a different maker.

Just throwing this out there:
If your jbotts, would you be worried about eichel hanging out with kane?

Something tells me its a bit different than eichel going to lunch with legrand before every game.

[quote=Boss34]
Except Sammy never got to play with a superstar QB like Kane get's to play with Eichel

[quote=sbroads24]
Even if Sammy got to play with a top qb, he’s never on the field enough. Except for the 8 games with Tyrod, Sammy done nothing in the nfl to warrant anything other than calling him average.

Think spiller, all the talent but not the performance.

And for the most part he didn’t play with jack last year....

Funny how a year changes things. There's no chance of re-signing Kane to a sensible term or a reasonable salary. I can't see Bots or the Pegulas signing off on a 7+ year deal. Given what's happened with Bills recently, I just can't imagine them taking this kind of risk. Kyle's value is close to an all time low, Kane is near an all-time high. How does this team not sell high here?
- Lunaion

So, what, are they just never going to give out long term deals anymore?

You can't let that kind of thinking in, or it will paralyze you.

- Boss34

Not with Vancouver.

My whole point was there's no "payback" to get.

What about last year when he scored most of his goals with Brian Gionta and Larsson?

[quote=Boss34]

I would have to see the interaction. I haven't heard anything that suggests Kane is a bad influence on him. If he is, then he should have either never been here or been gone shortly after this was known.

More female dogging about ticket prices on WGR today. How do people not understand that if a business is selling its product at a certain price and people keep paying said price the business has no incentive to lower the price? It boggles my mind. Don't renew your season tickets. Don't go to the games. They'll learn very quickly that the prices are too high and react accordingly. That's the free market at work.

What is, "a 28 goal season", Alex.

What about last year when he scored most of his goals with Brian Gionta and Larsson?
- Wetbandit1

He scored about half of his with Eichel/O'Reilly, half between Gionta and Girgensons, not Larsson.

This year Eichel has assisted on 6 or 7 of his 9.

[quote=gordong]
He's been on the field just as much as Kane has been on the ice.

- Wetbandit1

To Kane? No.

I can't believe people are about to fall for another Stafford-ish contract year

Reinhart and Okposo for Tanev and Gagner

HELL NO

The daily Kane & Sam bashing I see
I guess this is kinda related, at least for those who wanna trade the above...

Bob McKenzie on NBCsports saying that even if the Ducks were healthy they’d wanna add offense...
However,
they don’t wanna move Lindholm, Fowler, Manson or Montour
He thinks Vatanen & Jacob Larsson are available
