I guess we route for Florida to lose in the first round. What pick would that land us? It’s final standings ranked amongst the 8 teams eliminated correct?

If you can get Kane reasonably, you do it end of story.

This team goes from 21st in scoring to damn near top 10 with him.

Sure. I just think the effect is easy to exaggerate. Average goal scoring would have had almost the same effect. Granted, you could see them improve offensively late in the season, where as there's no reason to expect any improvement out of Anderson or Tokarski.

You really have your favourite players, that's for sure.

" no reason to expect any improvement out of Anderson or tokawski "

Yeah. Dt31 played to the best of his ability. No room for improvement 😀😀😀

what's reasonable for one year and what's reasonable for an extension?

Hes 33, hes not getting any better.

He's a bad goaltender who has no business starting games in the NHL.

don't even negotiate extension. Trade as if he is on a 1 year deal.
.
1st (16 OA), 3rd Rd pick, one of the better Prospects.

he's a great 3 and a fair 2. I wish Rochester had him rn.

And by 2 I mean less than 30 games.

I wouldn't be comfortable with that. If that's his value, so be it, but I wouldn't do it. Now, if he could be had for FLA and Johnson.. yeah, let's roll.

We're just not that great yet. With our without Kane.

Not according to lacaprup. With Kane on the team, Skinner, Thompson, VO and Tuch will be light years ahead of where they were last season.

Now if the market for wingers is like last year, I think Kane would equal Reinhart's return. Late 1st, prospect. High cap 1 year rental. Clearly more skilled than Sam, but his contract and age depreciate his value more.

Shout out to any of the Hawks fans ready to take a poop on this.

Thats where we disagree.

This team was good from March 1 on.
a HOF Forward being added to that is a no brainer.

let me ask you this.

Do you believe that Kane, plus an RHD and a real G, get this team to the playoffs?

And

Do you think he re-signs?

And

Do you think this team wins a playoff series against Tampa, Florida or Carolina?

I've been a champion of 'look at this team from 3/1 on', but I still don't think we can compete with the top 6-8 teams in the league.

I think that comes with the eventual/upward development of the young guys and smart adds. I don't think that comes with adding Kane and a D and a G, alone, next season.

If he's signing an extension, I'm jumping at the opportunity.

A) Yes
2) Yes
C3) No idea, i just want to get to the playoffs, anything can happen. (MTL last year, CLB the year before)

#1, YES, with Kane on the Sabres and a real G, this team is easily 3 pts better a month and that would put us in the playoffs or damn near next year

#2, I don't see why he would not want to resign. We have the $$ and it would be cool for him to help us win, he would be a god here.

#3, is a loaded question. Any team can win with a hot goalie at the right time. So yes I guess...
