How is a players on ice play not an indicator of his value?

That's what contracts are based on.

His value in not UP
- Boss34

Contracts are based on all prior performances, not the most recent sample. Kane hasn't produced for 20 games, I think the argument you're making is that his value took a big nose dive because of these most recent set of games.

I think it's fair to argue that a good GM would look at a bigger picture than that, but also that the market would affect the value of the player more than the short term play would. GM's know Kane can score even if he doesn't for another 10 games.

Just like my car scenario. People were calling and "kicking tires"

He asked more, now the car isn't running that well.

It's not worth as much . Other cars are available too.

Why over pay for the car that's been running slow for 2 months when you could buy a car that is running great?.

That great running car is more likely to get you to work and back - playoffs

I think your analogies are off base
So I’m not gonna keep going with these weird scenarios you’re inventing

Obviously Kane not scoring doesn’t help his value
I never said that

I said it would come down to supply & demand

And there’s no way Botts would raise the price of teams were just “kicking the tires”
That would be dumb
U only raise the price if there’s a lot of genuine interest

Hoffman
Nash
Grabner
Kane
Pacioretty

Kane isn’t some special rental

Please just stop.........

We understand you don’t like Kane (or the trade that sent ur boy Myers), BUT PLEASE stop with the continued bashing of Kane!

We all get it!

I win when you don’t reply

IF those guys are now actually available...
that could definitely bring down the return we get for Kane

No, u won’t listen

SUPPLY & DEMAND determine a player’s “value” much more than a hot or cold streak of a few games

Why did Botts raise his asking price for Kane if his value was down?
That would be dumb
Botts doesn’t strike me as a dumb guy
- jdfitz77

This is the problem in a nutshell combined with his lack of performing. There are too many good options potentially available now. 6 weeks ago it was Kane and Kane only

IF those guys are now actually available...
that could definitely bring down the return we get for Kane
- jdfitz77

Even if they are not all available and GM's are just dangling these carrots to test the market this just muddies the waters even more

Hoffman has 2 years left tho

If anyone has that Nassar fella they gonna score big. I give him less than 30 days.
- dadeadhead

He'll be in protective custody for sure. No way they throw him into gen pop. He(or his estate) would have a huge lawsuit, and win, for when he inevitably got shanked. Michigan isn't going to take any chances with him.

I prefer La Davina over a wall.

Thank God no one is posting pictures of their ugly kids though.

Yea, but you can get a good look at a butchers ass by sticking your head up it, but wouldn’t you rather just take the cows word for it?

So benoit pouliot signs a 4 year deal with edmonton
Has a bad year. Gets bought out.

Then we sign him for 1/4 what he was getting paid.

Do you take in consideration what he did prior to the Edmonton signing? Or what his most recent play dictated?

How did we get him so cheap?

I'm finished.
You said his value was UP. when I mentioned his cold streak would hurt his trade value.

Now that you back tracked to "obviously Kane not scoring doesn't help his value" i never said that.

You did say it. And argued for days about it.

There is no way that scoring 2 goals in 23 games helps the sabres get more for him.

Hoffman has 2 years left tho
- jcragcrumple

I think Patch does too

Even if they are not all available and GM's are just dangling these carrots to test the market this just muddies the waters even more
- lulags

Sure, for now

But at the end of the day,
whether or not these guys are truly available will affect what we get for Kane

Patch & Hoffman might not get moved till after the season (if at all)

And NyR is fighting for the playoffs
So as long as they don’t drop out,
they’ll probably hang on to Nash & Grabner

Love me some Tommy Boy references

- Boss34

I never said that it did

I said his value was up
Based on Botts raising his price
Which must have been bc of all the teams calling

You are the one who was using his lack of scoring as a measure for his value
NOT me

I kept saying “supply & demand”

Your pizza (Kane) was delicious. It had crispy cup pepperoni and a nice cheese blend. Then you took the pepp off (Eichel) and added horrible olives (playing with Larsson).

You can take the olives off but you still taste the olives (decreased value)

Olives on pizza is an abomination

I don’t mind the black ones.
