and dahlin probably has no desire to sign an 8 year extension this summer
- homiedclown

Yeah, but who cares about that. you get that all important fourth round pick in a year or two that might see the light of day in 4-5 years

no way in hell I am helping the leafs, canes, bruins, bolts, rangers or bruins to get kane

the team morale would be bad, as it should
- homiedclown

I wouldn't either.

The talk is Kane going to a western conference team.

Update: #Giants QB Daniel Jones wants more than New York has offered him. Possibly as much as $45 million per year, or more. A source tells Mike Florio.

Jones has recently switched agents, from CAA to Athletes First.

No need to catch up at the game; I don't harbor internet grudges. It would be impossible to keep track of them all. People yell at each other all the time on the internet. Who cares? Be well.

- lacaprup

Are you going to the game? Near sell out.

I still would not do it

Barzal out indefinitely.

Huge blow to NYI.

Need to make a move.
- ImThatGuy

Will the Islanders go from buyers to sellers? Varlamov and Mayfield would solve an awful lot of problems the Sabres seem to have.

With Kane's actual $ being so low, you'd be a fool not to take the pick.
- Lunaion

If the O'Reilly deal set the cost of a 4th round pick at $74K, is the cost of retaining 25% on Kane ($200K) worth at least a 3rd round pick?

- ImThatGuy

The Sabres can't buy a 3rd round pick while still look to make a deal or deals that also help the team's chances to make the playoffs this season?

Guess they can't do both, eh?

I still would not do it
- homiedclown

It's cash for a lottery ticket.

What's your reasoning against it?

Not sure which side to look at. The cap hit or the $ hit. Maybe both? Guess it depends on how many teams are willing to do it.

I'll take a another piece of trade ammo either way.

- homiedclown

They're only allowed to make one trade then?

Buy points percentage. The Sabres are currently in a playoff spot. FYI meaning they are playing better hockey the teams currently in front of them they have just played 4-5 less games.

keep adding to those list of excuses. I’ll have the list in a little bit. It’s pretty long.

imagine what playoff experience would do to a young team.
- ImThatGuy

You asked me what I think the Sabres need to make playoffs. I think what we need is clear

Ridding a goalie with a 3.47 goals against and .890 save % is extremely risky

Rising joker with Dahlin or power is also risky

You are banking on a lot

I said I would not help another team get better for the playoffs

nothing more
nothing less

Comrie and a pick for Korpisalo

trade for chicken man

He is...?




- kingcong39

Pretty good stats this year for being on a terrible team.

Just heard that on NHL radio. Gotta think they will back off
- lulags

With Lou's track record, he'll probably double down and make another trade to bring in a player.

Clague left practice hurt.

I would be good with that.

If the Sabres do that. I think they make playoffs

UPDATE ON THE BLUE JACKETS

SPORTSNET: Jeff Marek suggested the Columbus Blue Jackets’ Joonas Korpisalo could be an option for playoff contenders seeking goaltending depth. His adjusted save percentage going back to early December of 1.9 percent saves above expected, putting him above netminders like the New York Islanders’ Ilya Sorokin, the Dallas Stars’ Jake Oettinger and the New York Rangers’ Igor Shesterkin. Korpisalo carries a $1.3 million cap hit on an expiring contract.

if we had to give up Ostlund, Rosen, 2 second rd picks and Joker


would anyone not named boss complain?

- kingcong39

If it's Chicago's 3rd I would, especially this draft. Gives me another chance to draft a Dman or a asset for something else.

- homiedclown

2 first round prospects (both playing decent/good in their respective leagues), 2 seconds and a decent roster player in Joker? Yeah I would. That’s too much.

In order to compete for a cup, you have to do what first? anyone Bueller Bueller

Devils haven’t made the playoffs since 2018.

Care to explain how they built a cup contender ?
