so the Wild, Oilers, Kings, Knights, Ducks, Islanders, Blue Jackets, Jets, Sharks and Canuks are a better spot for Kane thatn buffalo?
- ImThatGuy


I didn’t say that
But some of them are arguably

There are better options for Kane
And there are better options for us

I don’t wanna keep arguing with you about it
We’re just going around in circles

If i hear Pk88’s opinion changes,
I’ll let u know

Disagree
And Kane doesn’t have to waive to go anywhere

Maybe he would at the deadline for whoever could fit him & come up with a decent offer
But from what i heard, he’s not gonna waive to leave Chicago unless he thinks it’s for a place he can “win the cup”
And buffalo just isn’t there yet- not even close

Which sister? And man does that guy have good looking sisters. Like Joey tribbiani or something.

Sure
Feeling just isn’t mutual from what i hear

If Kane is still on the Hawks at the deadline,
and we’re looking like a playoff team,
then maybe Kane changes his mind (imo)

But i think waiting till he’s a UFA makes more sense than giving up assets for him

Would KAC- be on the same page as the owner?

So many reasons, pk88 and the Sabres make sense.

but it only takes 1 to make it fall apart, which is why it feels extremely unlikely next season

I value your opinion, despite the teasing 🤝

1-10 scale each senario

1 being unlikely 10 being very likely

A) trade at the draft for pk88
B) trade at the deadline for pk88 (assuming the Sabres are in the hunt
C) free agency 2023

Can someone please tell me how old Kane is, how much is left on his contract, and what his sister thinks, and where he is from? I don't think I quite caught any of this information the 15 times it was posted today.

What's everyones thoughts on Miroshnichenko? Pronman had him ranked #2, most rankings had him top 5. Do you take a Russian with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma at 16 or 28?

Trading assets for kane when we aren’t contending for a cup is one of the dumbest ideas I ever heard, especially when he could come here for free in 2023.

Make the draft picks. Rochester is bare for next few years without them. Get a goalie this off-season and make your big moves in 2023

3 offseason trade. More for the ticket gate and fandom of the owners over the "right" move

5 trade deadline. If we have a solid playoff team and pk88 wants to give it a run before extending

4 ufa 2023. Gotta be some lure to being a cup to the hometown team. You know this:

You take the buffalo out of the kid, but cant take the kid out of buffalo. We're loyal folk, he would be a hometown hero.

So are we doing this because we are in the playoffs or just on the outside looking in. We are willing to give up next year's 1st, sure it's protected, but still that chance.

I think you're cheating on the trade deadline by tossing that condition on it. If you take that into account, we're not that far off.

- PrinceChill


Nazar might not be there. But theres quite a few players all over the place.

First time seeing Snuggard and Gauthier in the top 10 was this week.

Personally i'd go (in no order)

#9 Savoie, Nazar, Kemell, Lekkerimaki

#16 Gauthier, Howard, Mccgoarty, Mintyukov(Might be the best Offensive D in the draft)

Florida pick I'd like to trade up for Luneau or Chesley if they aren't going to be there at 28-32

Let's say the senario is pk88 for our 2023 1st top 10 protected. At the deadline

We would need to be within a point or 2 of the playoffs and at least +10 fake .500 wins ... 30 -20 -10 @ the deadline.

I'd consider it, buying the fans back is such a unique situation to the Sabres.

Hockey hotbed and most people are angry with them.
Making a splash move vs. A "smart" move is different right here right now.

Tony made some excellent points about waiting and getting him for free. I agree, but you have a 1/2 empty building and people ready for success. Could be a huge financial opportunity.

Maybe give pk88 part of the ownership in 2023 as a ufa?

There's 0% chance if the Sabres are not in the playoff picture at the deadline.

I think we absolutely will be trading for players at the deadline next season, for a change 👊
