Conditioned on what? They make the playoffs?

Say it aint so whoa oh. Guys from my work said 1st and 4th and O'Reagan. I don't know who O'Reagan is, but it sounded pretty good to me. Is he the white supremacist that Costanza stole the limo on?

First is only if Kane re-signs. Second if he does not.

Why don't you give it a rest, you're better then this.
- SABRES 89

to be fair, I group myself in that but yeah its over with now time to move on. Surprised nobody else has moved or did i just miss it?

1st becomes 2019 2nd if he does NOT resign with Sharks. That is the issue

Too bad... I wanted benatty

Even Moulson has production like that in the AHL
- Shadman306

He also scored 30 goals in the NHL. If O' Reagan can do that then this trade is a win. Unfortunately that's a pipe dream

And nylander is a bust at 20. I did that right, right?

Thank you.

Lebrun and the other tweeters said 5 teams were interested in Kane, so I imagine this is the best offer of the 5. Kane's reputation is apparently risky for a team to take on.

Have you watched him play? Just curious to your astute reasoning on why he's not a good AHLer despite point production that proves otherwise.
- SDSabre

I watched a lot of him on BU when he was a senior.. marginally impressive. points dont mean as much in the AHL. see matt moulson

Miss what, you can't let it go. Move on.

To think we could of had 2 first round picks just gets me so Furious

Paul Hamilton's twitter account said he has only ever been offered nothing but conditional firsts, that's why he waited so long.

I thought our “insiders” were saying we were gonna be getting a haul today? Should check their “sources”

I said we weren't right from the onset for Evander but, I'm no insider that's for sure!
Evander's life outside of hockey is what Jack said holds Evander back.
The entire league knows it !

JB got what he could for Evander.
I firmly believe that.
Which is why I am not upset with JB thus far.

Evander is a very immature team mate.

Like I have said.
I tried sticking up for him and my friend close to the team shook his head no, quite vigorously and said he's not worth keeping here.

If he knew that, the rest of the league knows that.

People are mad because we didn't get the 'treasure trove' for a rental.

People are mad because they know we could have gotten a better return, months ago.

People are mad because they think (read: know) Botterill could have done so much better.

5 teams were interested in Kane, and the Sharks obviously gave us the best return combined with the highest percent of signing in the offseason.

None of you have any (frank)ing clue what happened during those dealings. You play the cards you're dealt. You can't trade a mustang for a porsche.

Stop female doging. It is what it is, we got a pretty decent player and a potential 1st. It's not great, but it was clearly our best bet. Sorry everyone is disappointed. I am too, but optimistic.

VAN expected to receive Tyler Motte and Jussi Jokinen in exchange for Thomas Vanek going to CBJ.

1 trade so far....and it was a let-down

Listening to guys at work was your first mistake. The condition is whether or not Kane re-signs with the Sharks. Which, by the way, there is no guarantee is something they even want. That's why conditions like this are stupid.

Miss what, you can't let it go. Move on.
- SABRES 89

lol re read what i wrote i was being genuine. Im saying im surprised no other sabres deals or did i just miss them and they happened earlier?

You have no idea what they see in him. Zero. You're not an NHL General manager.
- Powerslave

You don't need to see him play, he is a 5th round pick. Statistical analysis of the draft says he will be garbage.


....standing by for the standard 10 names selected in the 5-7th round of the NHL draft.

6 minutes til busto-tanko part deux happens.
