How exactly does one "locker-room cancer"?

what is it? how goes it?

he has his clothing thrown into the showers by teammates, he's the cancer

he gets run out of Winnipeg he's a cancer

a career fringe NHL player calls him "selfish" because he told him to watch his stick in practice, he's a cancer

it's pretty ludicrous in all actuality

how?

i beg you to answer how Evander Kane is a locker room cancer.

i need evidence

not just a bunch of rhetoric
- U Sir Name

He's not . it's just somethign the media makes up.

Today at the presser I enjoyed Harrington asking Botts how much input did the owner's have in the Kane decision ....... "none at all". So of course all of that BS about the Pegula's wanting him out of town was fake news at its finest.

So GMJB Says that was the only offer he got for Kane and not ONE offer for any of the other Sabres players .


WTF
- cabin

thats the "scenario" i got from the presser.
botts really likes the word "scenario" too.

Fine ...... bring in a whole other group that can underperform. While we're at it we can sign another Moulson to get us to the cap limit like before. Rinse and repeat.
- fastek

Talk about sour grapes... Next year will at least be entertaining if we bring in a bunch of our picks. A lot of new faces. Some to be pretty excited about.

I just "googled" it

sounds like a bunch of horsepoop to me but whatever
- U Sir Name

Again, not saying you're wrong, but the absence of evidence doesn't mean he isn't a wiener, and the guys in the room don't hate him.

yeah sure.
if the pegulas told him to trade kane right (frank)ing now he would have said in the presser that they told him to trade kane right (frank)ing now? i doubt it.

Moves today that would've made the team even a little better next year probably convinces me to keep my seasons. One move that won't show results for 4 years, probably not.
- Frizzlefry

What about moves at the draft/over the summer? Those don't count?

OR the man likes his job.

oh im not unhappy with the return

it's just plain awful in every single way given what a 35 year old Rick Nash got, a trash player like Martin Hanzal got, what Thomas Tatar got was absurd, An ageing and ineffective Paul Stastny got, what Ryan freaking Hartman got...

it's not right and this locker room cancer stuff has got to stop, no one can back any of this up except for finger pointing.

my god, how a few pictures with stacks of money has come back to haunt this man is mind-blowing
- U Sir Name

USN; Respectfully, I am not nor was not trying to slander anyone.

I can only tell you what I was told from someone very close to Jack.
Is it true?
It's 3rd hand conversation so.

Do I believe/trust the person that told me that Evander is just not the ideal team mate?

I do.
Very much so.

As I said, I actually kept trying to stick up for Evander during this particular conversation and my friend just kept shaking his head vehemently, no.

Look, I like Evander and I was sticking up for him because I wanted him to stay.
Not many power forwards that can score while punching you in the mouth at the same time.

That's all I got my friend.

OR the man likes his job.
- Wetbandit1

exactly my thought. you just worded it a lot better.

If Mittelstadt and our first round pick aren’t on the team and contributing next season, I don’t think there is any reason to watch this team until 2020.
- MCGUIZZY

Poor Jack by then .......... well at least he'll be rich. Ever get the feeling the Sabres are going to somehow find a way to waste Jack's entire career in Buffalo ?

thats the "scenario" i got from the presser.
botts really likes the word "scenario" too.
- TheHank

Saw it on the news . That's what they got out of it too. His comment was with the Sabres talent being where it is , seems not that many gm's lining up for them. Actually , None of them.

Dude stop he was

Should have never signed Okposo I told everyone he would bite us in the ass if we signed him

Just another player JT made a all star
- GERBE!!!75PTS

I believe Okposo has never returned fully from his head injury.

Sorry in advanced for long post, feel8ng the need to dump it all out in the blogisphere...

Welp, I’d like to say that was fun.
I’d also like to say that is what I expected to happen...but that i# the “doomed” sentimentality kicking in.

So, I’ll just say that it is what is.

I was hoping, maybe even counting on more...
- more for Kane
- something for
Pouliot
Girgs
Larson
Gorges

But, I was wrong...and should have “listened” to my eyes. No GM wanted our garbage that has collectively created the 30-1/2 best team in a 31 team league.

So now, I must reaffirm that this team (frank)ing blows to the point we got a conditional 2nd, a “C” prospect and a conditional 4th


It isn’t out of rage, but a reflective look at this team...time to dump over priced players off the team by the end of the 2018-2019 season...to enable a complete rebuild ... I’m suggesting finding away to jettison this summer
- ROR
- Okposo
- Bogo
Saves about $18m

And recognize the rolling contract expire at the end of that season
- Pommer
- Blow-U
- Girgs
- Larsson
That’s another $11m
A total of some $29m to re-arm coming out of the assumed lockout in 2019-2020.

Some good talent coming, not all will make it...focus on proper development to maximize the opportunity for cost-controlled young, skilled players coming out of the assumed lockout.

Summary,
-It sucks
-there is light at the end of the tunnel
- stay the course JBotts, suck it up and deal with it
- be prepared for attendance in the 9-10k nightly next year.
The fan base has been tested to the max, it is breaking...don’t middle it.

Talk about sour grapes... Next year will at least be entertaining if we bring in a bunch of our picks. A lot of new faces. Some to be pretty excited about.
- BareMetal

I honestly think the vast majority of our picks are bottom 6 guys. Hard to get excited about that, especially since we've seen most of them in action.

He's not . it's just somethign the media makes up.

- fastek

some of us get it

i even did that google thing i was told

a bunch of he said she said and everything happened AFTER he posted those pics with the money stacks in pile of poop winnipeg

thats the "scenario" i got from the presser.
botts really likes the word "scenario" too.
- TheHank

So maybe he learns he's gotta be a bit more proactive and go out and sell. "Do you really want to be without a, barely, NHL defenseman in the conference finals? Or do you want to rely on some guy who otherwise would never in a million years see the NHL, let alone in that situation?"

or "Hey, this guys has 12 goals on a team that can't score and he hardly plays, is dirt cheap and a UFA, so you can just walk away. Cough up a 4th for him."

Just tank it and get my Z

Trade Ristolainen, ror , Okposo , Sam in the summer start the rebuild right

Saw it on the news . That's what they got out of it too. His comment was with the Sabres talent being where it is , seems not that many gm's lining up for them. Actually , None of them.

i am having a hard time seeing even a glimmer of light in this perpetual tunnel.
i am at a loss.

Don't disagree with that but I'm not a big fan of tearing it all down again .........

Poor Jack by then .......... well at least he'll be rich. Ever get the feeling the Sabres are going to somehow find a way to waste Jack's entire career in Buffalo ?
- fastek

Yea I mean we already wasted 3 years of it and it looking like we will waste another 2

That's good . That light in the tunnel is usually a train.

ive always thought Athtansiou for Risto would be a good trade.

That’s the problem. I can’t make every game and people won’t even take them for free. I can buy better tickets for 15 dollars on stub hub.
- Fattony1187

I get it.

Shortsighted though.

It's going to be a north buffalo real estate market in a time.

Tickets will be unavailable .

Season tickets are like stocks. The market is down, but if its good, its likely to be good for a long time.
