So should we fire Housley or nah

The question isn't, "What is Kane worth," the question is, "What is 20 games of Kane worth?" If there were no other, better offers, do you just stick with Kane and keep him? San Jose felt he was worth a conditional 2nd round/4th round pick with a prospect for 20 games, and Buffalo agreed. Nobody else felt the rental was worth that much, even. His slumping form certainly didn't help. It's not like keeping him for 20 games was going to help this club substantially either. A 2nd round pick with a 1 in 3 chance of becoming an NHL player is probably worth a little more to Buffalo than a 20 game player who can't do anything but get us a worse draft pick.

I wasn't sure if I should post this on here, or start a new thread, or what... this is my first post here. I'm actually a new-ish hockey/Sabres fan. I grew up and live in Connecticut and was a Whalers fan but not a die-hard, they left when I was 14, I didn't really "understand" hockey very well. It took about 20 years but I I decided as a kid, I was always envious of the Sabres and their cool uniforms, and they beating the heck out of us, and I still dislike the Bruins and Rangers, and I can't root for a Long Island team, so I adopted the Sabres. However, I know very little of the history and while I've subscribed to NHL.tv and gotten to watch a bunch of them (sometimes painful!) and learned a lot, I'm still, in many ways, a novice, which brings me to two questions: What are some good resources to learn more about hockey strategy and knowledge in general? I own NHL 2017, but I'm not sure a video game is the best way to learn, heh. Fun, though. What are some good resources for learning about the history of the Sabres and things I'd be expected, as a fan, to know, and care about? I understand this comment is extremely lame. I am comfortable with that. I just feel an affinity to this team and I like to be knowledgeable, even when I know I'm ignorant. Thanks, and, uh, sorry for the lameness.
