If I am getting +++ I am thinking Calgary

Pick Up Adam Fox, Oliver Kylington.
- ImThatGuy

that'd be pretty cool. don't think they'd go for it

think about what "low" means here and what you and botts are thinking the return for kane should be.

who do you think is going to cave first in this? Im not saying they won't meet in the middle and give up a first but it pretty much sinks the ship on "let's bring back a first, A prospect and roster player because kane's the best available".

Did the price just now go up arbitrarily...
or bc there’s A LOT of interest?

I’m gonna assume it’s bc there’s a lot of interest
That’s what makes the most sense

nah but he can't clear out the front of the net like kuli...
- Sabresfan-365

Colorado knew what they were doing

Wow, that's f... kin crazy
- lulags

2017 results skewed cause of vegas. that number would have been a lot lower

How does that make more sense than a GM posturing?

there may be a much bigger trade out there than what we are thinking


skunk and kane to the devils for santini, plus and plus
- homiedclown

Still p!ssed we didn’t draft him
But then again,
GMTM did get a raw deal (hahahaha)

Posted this in the last thread as it died:

Shouldn't the Sabres get aggressive with clearing out problems? I wonder if they can talk to Moulson and say, "listen, you're not gonna make the team next year, and you're not going to play and live in California. You have two options: retire, or play for the Americans, where you will be expected to show up on time, or we will be voiding your contract like Steve Moses. If you retire, there's a good chance we'll be able to find you a position within the organization"

Ship Bogo somewhere for a pick or Bailey or something.

I get that Moulson is respected and yada yada yada, but why the Sabres doing him favors and letting him play somewhere else on their dime? It's ridiculous.

I'm curious what happens if he gets hurt playing for another team. Is this a non-factor or do the Kings/Reign pick up the tab for a hurt player?

2017 draft first rd

9 out of 31 picks traded


2016 draft first rd

11 out of 30 picks traded


2015 draft first rd

10 out of 30 picks traded
- homiedclown

Thanks for looking that up for me
Whoever says these picks don’t get traded...

i have to think that the asking price is way to high for kane. while i think he is a very good player i just don't see teams giving up a 1st rd pick for him since he can walk away at the end of the yr. i'll be shocked if that happens.....with that said ....snow is calling buffalo right now

if you are 20 to 30 years old and don't work


take the tide challenge

nah we're totally getting bellows, pulock and a 1st

When’s the last time u heard of the asking price going UP on a player?

I think the Sabres still pay.

Now that i think about it, maybe this year is the favor to Moulson. Maybe the agreement is that instead of playing for the Amerks for 2 years, he got to pick which team he played for and he'll retire at the end of the year in exchange.

I can dream at least.

Of course there are 5 million reasons why he won't retire before 2019

- Sabresfan-365

Only slightly
Vegas acquired TWO 1sts
Not like they traded for 6

They don't get traded at the deadline for rentals.

- Sabresfan-365

Ok...
we’re only getting Greiss & a 3rd

I can go to the ridiculous end of the spectrum too

- jcragcrumple

I could think of 5 million reasons to send him overseas, if he doesn't retire.

- ImThatGuy

Yes, they do
Look it up
Literally happens EVERY year

Hell, we got one for Gaustad
Obviously that’s an extreme case
But it’s just an example of how GMs get desperate & overpay

Hanzal got 1 last year
Kane is MUCH better

Martin Hanzal got a first and a 2nd in essence

Did the price just now go up arbitrarily...

I’m gonna assume it’s bc there’s a lot of interest

Also, there is nothing on the market even close to Kane as a rental and potential resign

we got a second for chris stewart

- lulags

jvr if he hits the market

neal as well


I don't think either get traded though

we got a second for chris stewart
- homiedclown

I’m not even saying we definitely will get a 1st

Just think ppl are dismissing the potential return we are gonna get

Like I’ve been saying all along...

The PLAYER we get back is MUCH more important than the pick

nah we're totally getting bellows, pulock and a 1st

The sabres nickname. Poo-Luck (when it come to the draft lottery)
