I thought i heard rutherford isnt any good though?

Him not being on the sens might impact the sabres draft position.

Our 20 goal man will be gone, too, though.

Ive tempered my lottery expectations all the way down to "please god not the Oilers"

Pens folks gave a lot of credit to botts on the build of that team, especially regarding guys like Guentzel and sheary

Oh me too. Last turns into 4th oa which is better than 2nd to last turning into 5th oa and so on though.

I hope we can all still give him lots of credit after the dust settles from this deadline.

Ok, so 2.25 is a huge dump, but it only really helps them. It does nothing for the Sabres' long range plans. With the 1st gone, Sprong is the only thing that's desirable from them.

My hope is they don't slide out of the top 5, I think they'll get a pick in there somewhere

As far as cap genius stuff goes, I'll judge him based on the siginings and acquisitions. So far, I like the not giving kane his ridiculous ask move.

FYI....

I imagine he will have to work VERY hard, to move JG for anything of significant value.

Girgensons and Kane would put them over the top

I hope you are right.
- TheHank

If they do Id look at trade options. Doubtful but you never know

What if he doesnt trade kane at all and he walks for nothing, and pouliot, and georges, and lehner, and so on?
Edit, in due time i know lehner is a rfa but you get the point

We burn the arena down

The 4th period has Kane as their 4th best player available at the deadline.

Weird how he’s seem to slide the last few months

I thought we were ready to do that anyways?

Then I will accept the three eyed raven as my hockey lord since it's obviously CTE

I hope we can all still give him lots of credit after the dust settles from this deadline.
- TheHank

This trade dead line would have to be a complete disaster, to not give him this year and next.

2 drafts. 2 trade dead lines and 2 seasons.

I like jbotts, seams smart and calculating

There is a lot more to this deadline than just kane here.

Im not calling for his head if he (frank)s it up,i just wonder how the sentiment for him will change going forward if he does.

Lehner staying would be helpful.
Top 5 pick - helpful

Not like any of the fans will miss it

For me the obvious moves have to be Kane and Benoit balls.

Gorges maybe, I just cant see anyone being interested


I know Lehner and Reinhart's names have popped up but if they happen those are more likely off season moves.

Id like to see them explore an andrighetto style trade. See if you can spot a contender who has unfairly given up on a young player or simply doesnt have the roster spots to give him playing time.
