Oh i dont see that.

33 YO winger with 1 year left.

1st, 3rd, good prospect. maybe another small piece.

- ImThatGuy



If the "good prospect" is Johnson or Portillo, then sign me up today. If it's Peterka, I'm out.

Heck, at this point, I'd give them both Johnson and Portillo.

The Rangers are the Sabres with a goaltender. Change my mind.
- TheSabresTaco


They would be with Kane (Panarin)

And Shesterkin like you said

Adams deserves what he gets if he trades the top goal scoring prospect this organization has for 3 years of Kane.

That will never happen. But hypothetically speaking, his house would be graffitied.

If Chicago is dead set on moving on from Patrick Kane, even assuming the NTC, there aren't many teams with enough cap space to take him on next year. His best option is to allow a trade to whatever team can afford him, and then walk that summer. If you're trading for Patrick Kane, you're banking on your ability to convince him that this is a place he would want to be going forward. It's a year-long sales pitch.

I'm not even advocating for them to make this move. I'm just saying it's not the worst idea on the planet.

Why would you need to convince pk88 that this is the place he wants to be going forward?

Long term matters, but a 1 year deal let's pk88 convince himself.

Maybe we tailor hall the guy?
Trade for him, fall on our face and trade him at the deadline.

What does Chicago get in return for Kane, from Buffalo or anyone else, if they decide to trade him?
- buffalofan19


16, Mittelstadt and Laaksonen.

I can't see any team wanting to beat that offer

That may very well be the case, but Shesterkin has been Hart-worthy this year. The Sabres ran out of that kind of goodwill with the hockey gods after Hasek.

Imo, two firsts, a top prospect and a lesser piece.

And I was told a goalie only would have gotten us like 8 more pts

- DirtyDan


Broads24 told me , sabres win 2 or 3 (a couple) more games only with good goaltending

That's essentially what I mean. If this locker room is as close-knit and fun to be in as we all like to think it is, he's going to experience it first hand. Is that enough to convince his to ride into the sunset in his hometown? I have no idea, but again, assuming the price is reasonable, it could be worth a shot. You have the trade deadline as a backup plan.

Now your advocating for KAC-'s dismissal


No way if give up quinn for pk88 IMO.

that's probably the ask though.


Maybe they like the guy we picked this past year with risto pick?

Absolute joke since 36 has said we lost like 12 games when we had a 2 or more goal lead... Thats a possible 12 more wins.

I would do that in a second, but a lot of that is because I really have no use for Mittelstadt anymore. I think it would depend on what the rest of the league actually thinks of him at this point.

I don't think he has a door cam. Can't wait to send my 3 year old with a can of paint. Should end exquisitely.

It might be more than 2 or 3. It still doesn't get them anywhere near a playoff spot all else equal. Covid and injuries play a part in that, but just about every team had issues with that this year. Teams with depth survived. The Sabres didn't have it.
