Would you rather have Kane at ror's salary and term moving forward or ror?

I rather have Ryan moving forward. Harder to replace 2nd line center then 3rd line non scoring winger

- Boss34

I would trade every player except jack


we are that bad with bright spots occurring as frequent as a comet passing over our arena

Could make most of those arguments about McDavid in Edmonton. One player cant make a team
- jcragcrumple

I can say jack makes his linemates better

I cant say that about ror

I don't disagree with you there, but Kane is hard to play with and Wilson is bad. He'll get 20 goals this year. Next year hopefuully he'll have more skilled wingers, and his assists will go up. A rising tide raises all ships

So Kane or ror for the next 5 for 37.5 ?

There are 4 problems on defense
6 problems at forward
2 goaltending problems

Then ror

I am not getting into a pissing contest


at 7.5 mil

and a team consistently last in the east since ROR came here


he is not the solution


and he will be on the decline, and my guess is the decline is a quick decline like mike richards

not to mention botts wants an up tempo north/south team which ror does not play that game


if murray did a decent job building the pipeline and responsible with the cap, you can easily overcome the ror contract


but this team is so bad, you probably need to explore every roster spot expect jack, and you need difference makers and value deals in a cap era


ror is not a value player, and IMO not a difference maker


you keep wanting to make it about kane, and kane is as good as gone where ror is an issue for this team in the short term and the long term when his average skills decline

- jcragcrumple

he needs 2 speedy wingers IMO to be fully effective


this means reinhart needs to be on jack's line if he is here beyond this season

honestly okposo probably needs to be on jack's line as well

so a second line of baptiste, ror and casey?


again, trying to make a top 6 work including ror for the short term

I would trade Reinhart. I think he's the odd man out. The Sabres need faster wingers. They have a ton of cap space to swing some deals.

Something like an effective, fast, but overpaid winger (idk who fits that) + a Dman for Reinhart and a pick

Not trying to have any sort of contest.

Just seams like it's gone from "Kane is the best player on the sabres" to no comment.

Now: ror who's playing well points wise: is the target.

The Kane supporters kinda deserve a little poking.
It's in good fun. Nothing more

there is nothing fun about going 11 years w/o a playoff series win and getting worse as a team in the standings every year since inserting jack


I didn't watch 11 years of crap hockey to see this in year 3 of eichel being a sabre

At some point, maybe even next year, RoR will get bumped off the 1st PP. What will his production look like then?

I doubt it. A ton of Eichel's goals are the result of ROR winning the draw. Plus, once Kane is traded, ROR is statistically the second best offensive player on the team (I believe they're tied right now). He'll be on PP1 for a while imo

Poking fun : at someone's overall opinion:
Kane is the best sabre, jack is clank. All star snub?

Is different from.

Making fun of all of us sabres fans for not advancing in the playoffs in 11 years.

It sucks for everyone.

Nelson looks good, hope he plays well tonight

You guys couldn't give it a rest when kane played well for 30 games. Now he's played bad for 20 plus.

Nothing personnel

Wrong, you never stop about him, everyday about Kane. We get it you and over half the blog do not like him or like the trade. He will be gone so all will be well. Then it will be ROR all the time.

Mittlestadt, Nylander, this years first, Guhle.....there's players coming who should be better offensive threats. It's going to happen eventually.

Other centers win faceoffs too.

Guhle isn't a forward, Nylander is a ways off from being even an NHL player, let alone a first PP guy, and mittelstadt isn't even signed. Even if mittelstadt and Guhle make the team and get on PP1, ROR is still there.

Check out Eichel's ot PP winner a few games ago, or his goal last game. Both of those were ROR wins. Despite the PP being bad this year, he was a main reason it was #1 last year. I highly doubt he's getting moved off that

I would move Nylander for him. One less headache/Disappointment to deal with later on


Edit: His contract has a NMC and we would need to hand him a new contract in 2019...So IDK

36 points is 36 points. Which they both have. RoR - 27th in cap hit and a year older.
Kane - Somewhere in the 100s for cap hit. So tell me who's played better to this point in the season. There's your fun stat. They both suck
