hearing the deal being framed between #nhljets and #sabres is multi-player on both ends. So E Kane and more from Winnipeg

[Trade speculation 2014-15]

Not read every comment here but people seem to think it'd be Myers + for Kane, however I think it'd be the opposite;

 

Myers would beast it in the Peg where he wouldn't have the pressure of being the main man and could focus on his own game, while Kane's value is at an all-time low and while I also think he'd be a lot better in Buffalo than in Winnipeg, there's still a lot more question marks over Kane's head than there is Myers.

 

Plus I don't think WPG would do Kane for Myers straight up as they're losing a winger and gaining another defender, where it's known Byfuglien will be playing full-time next year.

 

Would something like Kane + one of their roster defenders (Harrison/Stuart/Clitty) work for Myers plus one of our UFA wingers in Stewart or Stafford? 

 

Or would you want to up it a bit and include Enstrom, which would mean sending more back their way, maybe NYI's or STL's first as well as Stafford?

I hate the dump 'n' chase - except we're not chasing it. Retain the puck. I'd rather lose by 10 and see us attempt to play good hockey, than lose by 3 and just clear the puck every time we get it.

8pm start for me, which is ace.

Wish they'd broadcast it on their app like some of the other teams do.

 

Looking forward to this, anyway.

Dont know if this is just certain beers, or there's a specific beer topic I have to stick to but...

 

Heineken fresh from Dam is absolutely beautiful.

[What would you do with Reinhart?]

Can't say I've seen much of him as I haven't been able to watch any games - but from all the interviews I've seen, it seems to me that he just doesn't look too bothered about being here. I obviously could be wrong and it's not a massive sample size I agree, but compared to some of the other prospects I've seen - namely Bennett and Ehlers, they both seem delighted every time they're infront of a camera. Anyway, feel free to correct me.

 

On to the 'what to do'... Not everyone's the same. He was drafted with a huge spotlight on him, and some people take longer to adjust to that than others. A year or 2 in the juniors should do him fine. Just because his draft position was high, doesn't mean he should be thrown out there if he's not ready.

[Grigorenko]

I hope he makes it. After a torrid season last season in regards to the press and attitude etc, I'm just glad he's got his head screwed on. Hope that doesn't all regress if he doesn't get picked for the big show though, and is sent down to Rochester for a year.

 

Would rather see Grigs up than Reinhart - providing of course Grig earns it and Reinhart needs another year in Juniors. Sam would make us a lot better which is what we don't need at the moment. The organisation would benefit from this, more so than if Sam stayed up and Grig was sent down.
