Do you look at other stats besides offense? New age my friend....

He’s had 1 bad offensive season out of 3. So ya he’s a (frank)ing good player. Did I say he was a star? Nope. Just putting words in my mouth.

Other then Eichel and Ristolainen he’s been our best player since the new year.

Kyle okposo has played better then sam since the new year. In my opinion.

Reinhart has the opportunity to make a poop load of money this offseason, but he has no compete.

He could bulk up by hitting the gym, but instead he chooses not too.

He's good compared to his brothers.

Then fact that you compared them is hilarious. Period, and is the crux of the issue with talking about Evander Kane .

You talk about him like he’s Ovechkin. The sane people talk about him like he’s an average top 6 LW, which he in fact is

- sbroads24



Never once have I talked about him like Ovechkin that's your blind hatred thinking that anyone defending him thinks he's God. Same with Lehner. He's an above average winger who scores and plays physical, and would be very hard to replace because he has proven he CAN score away from Jack.

Just saying "Marchessault" doesn't mean anything. What have the Sabres done to make you think they could pluck that once in a few years guy? Botterill is a brand new GM, we have no idea how good he is yet. You say you have faith, but you're doing the same thing people did with Murray when he first got here.

282 nd in nhl scoring

Let's ignore that stat and talk about his toughness and penalty killing abilities.

Or his speed and powerful stride ?
Face off ability?
Commitment and leadership?
Ability to play center on the 3rd line of the worst team in the league?
Defensive 2 way center?
Checking?
Hard to play against?
Staying on his skates when checked?

He may have a few fancy stats, but this is hockey, new age or not

Can confirm at this point #Pens not frontrunners or even in sweepstakes for #Sabres F #EvanderKane. Had some talks before, but #Pens not interested at this point.

They never were front runners, nobody is as of now but i'd say the Kings are the closest.

kings canes and flames imo. Isles and pens dont make as much sense any more given the current price, and word is blues are looking for someone with term.

Since our season is a bust,
I really hope we play him every night once the deadline passes

A spot should open up with at least Gorges gone
And it’s tough to get better when sitting in the press box

Let’s see what we’ve got

Makes sense
Also wouldn’t surprise me if we took back a contract (like we did with Pommer) to help the team’s Cap

Thanks Homie
