He’s a scrub? I certainly wouldn’t give up a high end asset but come on
- sbroads24


As a “2C” he would be

Maybe it’s not the best wording,
but he’s a role player at this point
Not someone we should give a 1st for
And not someone who could help our scoring issues should we get him cheaper

If we can get him cheap, and play him at 3C
then fine

But that doesn’t help our 2C issue
So i wonder if it even makes sense spending assets for him

Eichel couldn’t even hold Matthews skates. It’s beyond laughable to think he’s even in the same league as him

He’s a clear upgrade to Sobotka/Erod and can slide to a 3rd line role next year.

I’d move a NB + 2nd/3rd rounder for him

I wouldn't be surprised to see the Sabres target a soon to be rfa center.

Joel Erickson? Minnesota wild.

Not a 2c , but possible upgrade over a few on this roster.

So they're not moving Rakell, or Silfverberg, or Kase, or Getzlaf, or Perry, but theyre moving somebody.

Who's left?

THat's why I'm saying its got to be a hockey trade

- Der Kaiser

I'm not disagreeing with you, he has a good contract and is young.

Blackhawks are wasting Patrick Kane. With the stats he’s putting up this year he still might be the most dangerous American forward in the world.

Edit: 63 points in 49 games on a sunken ship that is the Blackhawks.

Connor McDavid has 4 points (2 goals, 2 assists) with a minus-3 in 5 career games against the Sabres. Only the Hurricanes (3 points in 4 games) have held him to fewer points.

Wonder If McDavid knows this?

Jbotts will be kicking tires this off season.

What kind of return would Chicago want?

I think it would be a huge mistake for the Sabres to bring Kane home

At 31 idk if it’s worth it on our end. He’s still a magician though. He probably retires a Blackhawk.

Even if he’s an upgrade at 3C (probably true)

I just think we should be spending the assets to get a better player

So instead of spending them for a 3C,
let’s use those assets (plus more, obviously) to acquire a guy that’ll help us-
and be around long term

On ice or off ice

Or both?

On ice, given the assets traded- I would consider it.


Especially if skinner splits. Which I'm not expecting

Blues Isles tomorrow.

I was looking at Yost’s article about strength of schedule today

Blues have 2nd easiest schedule in January, and then the hardest schedule in hockey in February.

Hope they pile up points this month

the bigger question for me would be, why on earth would he want to leave a world class city like Chicago to move back to Buffalo?...nothing against Buffalo but he's a king in chi-town and there's so much more to offer a still young and single guy like him

Scoring on our own goal seems to be a trend.
