  2. Laraque: Sabres trying to trade Evander Kane

    in The Aud Club

    Posted

    I can see them wanting to move him before he causes more disruption.. But I do not believe this conversation took place in this way.

     

    Why buyout or release Kane. He will be great Vegas Bait next year. Unless we can get a worthwhile ROI his value is better here.

     

    Now if there is something we haven't heard regarding the off ice situation(s) well that can change a lot of stuff, but from best I can tell Kane was not at fault.. but info is lacking so that is just a guess

     

     

     

    and I am still glad we got rid of that POS. God meshawn was and still is a douche bag

    You're right about Lynch, he was and still is a POS. Between his hit & run, smoking pot in an unlicensed vehicle, stealing 20's at the McKinely Mall and being a complete A-hole at the apartment complex that he lived at, he was a huge douche!

  5. Steven Stamkos stays in Tampa Bay, 8.5mil x 8yrs

    Jim Fink is a business reporter, but still, I suppose he knows people who know people...

     

    A growing buzz in some NHL circles that high profile FAs (Babcock last year) and Stamkos are using Sabres as a 'leverage' for better deals

     

     

    Even Paul Hamilton mentioned that fact on WGR550 this morning. While it's a smart business move by the individual, it sucks that the Sabres are the one's being used.  

  6. Did Murray trade away too much?

    Johnson is working himself into being trade bait at the deadline. If Lehner can get himself up to speed before the deadline, Murray may be able to put Johnson into a package and get a decent pick or prospect back.

     

    Heh heh, he said "Johnson" and "package" in the same sentence.

    Makes sense. Murray did that with Enroth and Neuvirth last year.

     

    Settle down Beavis!

    I understand Murray's reasoning as he didn't see this as a "five year rebuild," so he has a plan to get younger NHL players to speed up the rebuild process. I'm just concerned that he could have stripped the "cupboard bare" so to speak by trying to speed up the rebuild process. I hope that is not the case here.

    Don't ever apologize for starting a thread, it's something we desperately need around here.

     

    That said, no, I don't believe so. And it's for the simple reason that he traded away hope for proven talent. We have enough hope in our 4 rookies, we need some actual players to compliment them

     

    It's weird seeing Connolly talk to Connolly

    Thanks, I appreciate that. I post on TwoBillsDrive and moderators close threads over there even if the topic was discuss months ago or in part of another thread.

    Last year, Tim Murray made a lot of bold moves both during the season and after the season. While the Sabres got good players in return such as O'Reilly, Kane, Bogosian (still too early to tell on Lehner), Murray gave up a lot of prospects and drafts in return. Would it have been better to have kept all of those players and waited for their development? I know it's too early to tell if these moves are going to workout or not, but it seems Murray gave up a lot of assets for the players he got in return.

     

    If this has been brought up before, I apologize in advance.

  23. The Next Coach of the Buffalo Sabres

    Early reports coming out of Toronto are that Babcock is leaning towards taking a short-term deal with Detroit, which IMO would be dumb on his part as it seems there's no long term plan there as the talent is getting past it's prime and they need to reload. What I find interesting is that former Penguins coach, Dan Bylsma, has not signed on anywhere. I wonder if the Pegula's reached out to him, told him their plans with Babcock and if that didn't work out, they would bring him in and give him a hefty raise?
