He's looking for 7 mill a year for next contract but that isn't an issue as of now, unless we eat some of his money and I was told they would rather not do that unless the deal was more in our favor. A couple teams can't fit him right now.

Any inkling as to why the Sabres wouldn't even bother negotiating a new contract with him? I mean there's several obvious reasons to speculate, but anything that's actually true? Such as he doesn't want to be here, there's no way he'll take what we offer, he doesn't fit the future plans etc...

Kane likes it in Buffalo has no problem staying but he wants big money(so I heard) and they aren't going to do any big contracts until Botterill gets Murray's mess under control. Also if and I say if Okposo wasn't here on a big deal already, things might be different.

Things change with regards to big money deals, Botterill is quieter then Murray, Murray wanted everyone to know he's in charge, people know Botterill is in charge, he doesn't need to advertise so to speak.

Yes, other guys like tim connelly get hurt. They are playing a sport with contact involved.

Bogo injuries were not in reference to jbotts, but an inquiring gm. I would think a gm would consider his injury history or they are not doing their job.

Bogo is not good. That's my opinion .

Is it his 1 assist this year that makes him a middle defenseman or something else?

Durability, outlet passing, lack of composure under pressure? Not seeing anything redeemable about him.

Bogo is going to be the boat anchor for this team.

I have no interest in having him here, but if his salary were, say, 2.5-3, I wouldn't really have a problem. I think he's a fine 4-5 Dman. Just getting paid way too much for what he provides when healthy. But you can't pay a 4-5 dman over 5M. He's a good, physical skater and can help with puck transition. I'm not necessarily defending him, I just believe he is what he is, a 4-5 man with limited (low) offensive ability who can play well against weaker competition. Utilize him correctly, and you don't notice him. Which is sometimes a good thing when it comes to non-offensive dmen.

If he could keep himself healthy with a cap around 2.5-3, I don't think you hear anyone complain.

I don't need to be told who Zach Bogosian is, thanks.

Kane is a top 5 LW in goals per game over the last 2 seasons but because he plays in buffalo, he sucks


it doesn't matter he tops the national chart for rentals, he sucks


it doesn't matter that he offers instant help to the top 6 for the playoff team, he sucks

it doesn't matter if I type in caps or lower case, he sucks


hatters are gonna hate, that is all I got out of it

we have some boat anchors over here in the thread as well

the only fact that matters is he is producing over the last year and a half


your acting like Kane is closer to Pouliot than the big fish up front for playoff rentals



he is the prize, and when he is traded the other teams will have to make secondary moves to adjust

I keep hearing the same 3 teams for those that care


bolts, kings and ducks


devils and islanders to a lesser extent

Fair enough, unfortunately he's 5 plus million, injured and maybe a 5 or 6 on our tied for 30th place nhl team.

Good teams have no reason to want him

As boring as it sounds, the truth is probably in the middle. Hes not Benoit but he's not the prize either.

Bolts just lost Palat. He could fill his role flawlessly. Now that would be a real interesting trade partner.

Isn't Palat more of a playmaker?
