Michael Pachla: Game night: Florida Panthers plus, Evander Kane

1st. nice reed, my man.

Nice write up.

If this pace keeps up, and he's selected for the all-star game, Botts is gonna be in a real tough place.

The Eichel effect is real

5-3 Sabres

I remember back in the day someone said Barkov was a bum and we Didn’t need him

Oh my

Nice work Pach.

I think we win tonight.

Gerbe is a bum. Not only do we not need him, we would all be better off without him.

Projected lineup

9 Evander Kane - 15 Jack Eichel - 29 Jason Pominville

67 Benoit Pouliot - 90 Ryan O'Reilly - 21 Kyle Okposo

13 Nicholas Baptiste - 23 Sam Reinhart - 25 Seth Griffith

28 Zemgus Girgensons - 22 Johan Larsson - 17 Jordan Nolan



6 Marco Scandella - 41 Justin Falk

19 Jake McCabe - 27 Taylor Fedun

82 Nathan Beaulieu - 93 Victor Antipin



40 Robin Lehner

31 Chad Johnson

Jets are absolutely loaded with talent.

I got laughed at for saying they might be the most talented Canadian team
- sbroads24

By who?

They should easily be the best Canadian team and a powerhouse in general, but they need a (frank)ing goalie.

NO WAY in hell I'm giving up a first for Jacob Truba ( yes I know how good he is but we will be picking top 3 ) and with our luck they get the first pick with the lottery

Check your (frank)ing PMs

Any vets in Buffalo, Batavia, Rochester and Syracuse and like fried chicken, Tully's is giving away tenders tomorrow.

Gerbe is a bum. Not only do we not need him, we would all be better off without him.

- LandlordTom

thx, tommy

Aw, shucks.

Being a Buffalo sports fan is an experiment in existential aburdism:



- from wikipedia

May as well laugh at it. On a more down-to-earth note, i do think there are good pieces here, but we're gonna have to laugh at it for a while longer until it's sorted out

Sounds about right.

He's got a point

if what homie said is true, the might just re-sign him and that would be the end of that...

have always loved his tools, but we all know the issues he's had in the past...if they're truly put to rest and he can continue focusing on hockey, we've got the winger we've wanted for decades...

big 'if' though with him

Nice work Pach.

I think we win tonight.
- Der Kaiser

i'm with ya, schultzie...

then again, ya never know with this team

Term will be the breaking point imo

I'd like to think the winger we've wanted for decades is more of the Ovechkin/Benn/Kucherov type, but to each his own

I think we win tonight too. Eichel is going to be shooting, shooting and then passisng. Suprised if has less than 10 shots on goal tonight. Just curious Michael :

What would you offer kane to stay in Buffalo? $/ and term?

4 year, 25 mil.

Which he politely declines and we dodge the Drew Stafford bullet

It's not just the contract year though, he put up 28 last year.

Sure, he also shoots a gazillion shots, and can't pass.

Kyle Palmieri has 56 goals over the past 2 years, and is 26.

Would you hand a 7 mil per year deal to him?

Palmieri isn't Kane. I also wouldn't give $7M to Kane.
