‘I’m not pounding the table demanding they trade Kane but I’d be worried about giving him a big contract because of his off ice missteps. The Sabres don’t have to do anything for now. They can’t pursue an extension until after July 1st so they could let this all play out into next season. They can see if Kane behaves himself this summer and then open extension talks with the intent to sign him. If they can’t reach an agreement they could always move him at next year’s trade deadline.’

Lambert: Bailey’s game growing at NHL level
‘”A big part of the master plan of me being in Buffalo last season was to learn the Sabres’ systems and to use the same language that Dan [Bylsma] and his staff use,” Lambert said with Howard Simon on Monday on WGR. “We were able to do that with our players here and we try to practice the same way they do.”‘
Potential assets for the Sabres as they approach trade deadline — #2 Dmitry Kulikov
‘Not to sound like a broken record, but I’d imagine Kulikov could be moved for a third round pick. If a team that misses out on Shattenkirk really wants to make a move then maybe Kulikov could bring in a second, but from the way he’s played this year that may be a little lofty.’
Gionta: Discussing the NHL bye week
‘I’m not quite sure how I feel about the bye week yet. I’m kind of on the fence. It compresses the schedule a lot in another areas, so I’m not sure if the five-day break makes up for not having the two or three days we normally have between games every once in a while.’
