The only issue will be physical maturity.

Every time Phil Kessel is mentioned I think of cheeseburgers.

It's okay, we understand you had your McEichelgoggles on at the time.

There's a whole bunch of other games, I go back to the Atari 800xl days, but felt compelled to stay somewhat recent. These days it takes me a while to get through a game. I'm still playing Skyrim and Far Cry 3. It didn't take long to go through Dishonored, though, and I'm an every-nook-and-cranny guy. At least this way the games I want to play next are always cheap on Steam, unlike the games my kids like to play.

I didn't know much about Bogosian until this evening. I think I like what this guy is all about and am eager to see him play. Bogsie has a nice ring to it. Maybe the Bogy Bag? Bogostrano? The Bogs?

Oh God, where to begin. It's embarrassing, really. PC for me, except where noted. 1. Postal 2 2. Skyrim 3. Bioshock 4. Call of Duty 5. I actually liked GTA IV 6. Mafia 7. Batman Arkham Asylum 8. Crysis 9. Half-Life 10. WII Bowling (any version)

It ensures the tank. An offer sheet is pretty much the only thing Murray has yet to do, that and a three-way trade. At this point, now that he's dealt one of the first round picks and Enroth, I really don't care what happens any more - go BIG and CRAZY! I want to see an offer sheet tendered.

I like you guys. You make me feel warm and fuzzy, even though you're probably upset what's his named stepped down from his CC show.

Hodgson for a fifth? LET'S GO! Murray has to be giggling himself to death in his office right now.

I found the Sabres' goalie for next season:

I was just going to post the same thing. If you doubted where the Sabres will finish last night, you have no reason to doubt anymore that they clinch the CHL.

Not even a solid third, but a conditional third.

Lindbäck and a third. Yeesh. Enroth was worth more than that, no?

GAH! Wow. This makes total sense. Finish the year guaranteeing the ultimate tank. The only question I have is what the hell are they going to do for goal-tending going forward?

Interesting POVs on the radio, certainly making me think about all of this, of course, combined with the opinions here. I'm starting to think that if Kane is everything all of the pro-Kane folk say he is, then this was a pretty good deal. But, again, I'm not sold on him. The point I really wanted to make, though, is that I so hate Mike Schopp. He's such a d*ckhead. The guy's emotional maturity is stunted and is stuck at 17 years old.

Murray on WGR now!

Okay, you know what, as this settles in, I think it's probably best for me, at least, to just hang with it. Come September, then it would be fair to criticize what's going on, assuming criticism is warranted at that time. GMTM has a plan, obviously. I'm not sold on Kane, but okay, let's see what else Murray does, if this is what he's willing to do to make the team he wants.

Yes this is a legit hockey trade. A big time trade. I love that the Sabres are making a trade that "wows" the NHL for a few days. We are blessed to have a GM who would make a big time trade like this, especially compare to what we used to have.

Wait, what? If I can't be sold on them, how could I like the trade? I like the BIG thinking, and, yes, I do like getting "established young players" in return for something, but the value seems lop-sided to me. Clearly, this shows what GMTM means when he says they can turn around this team in a few years, rather than many years. But...Kane being the centerpiece leaves me wondering. I'm completely open to admitting I'm under-valuing Kane, but I have seen nothing yet that convinces me he's better than Stafford was in his contract year.

Dude, there is lots of room here for a player who wants to be in the limelight.

I'm not sold on the players coming back. What's the problem with that?

Pierre LeBrun @Real_ESPNLeBrun · 33m 33 minutes ago Word is Evander Kane is ok with trade to Buffalo. Chance for a fresh start. Looking forward to playing major role on rebuilding Sabres.

Craig Custance @CraigCustance · 4m 4 minutes ago Sabres retaining half the salary on Drew Stafford in this deal too.

Sure, but not this. This is too much of a package in one direction. I'm not sold on Kane.
