    If they offered him a contract , possibly. But that wasn't my point- we got ***** for him and we needed help this season.

    I think you're way more optimistic than me. Kane was gone.

    So we either lose him for nothing, or we trade him as a rental to a playoff team.

    What do you think the going rate for a rental with a history of issues is?

    Will that make them play better defense, will it make the goalies stop more shots, our forwards score.... There isn't enough talent on this team.There hasn't been in years and whether you agree with the moves or not, we traded 2 of our better forwards and pretty much got nothing in return.

     

    Do you really think Kane would have re-signed with the Sabres in the offseason?

    He needs to finish the season, answer for it and leave.  No sense in replacing him now  

     

    Not sure I see the sense in keeping him around either.

    Couldn't we just run a competition or something? Instead of the Money Minute, you get a chance to be HC for the night.

    If I was diong it now I would be going to a virtual campus at a REAL College. Cheaper tuition in many cases, no room/board costs and the degree is from the same school. Nobody will know it's a virtual campus unless you put it on the resume.  Curriculum is the same and its very well done now as wll.  Would be able to graduate with a degree for under $25K for all 4 years in many cases.

    Depends on what you're going for. If it's the natural sciences and you're planning on going on for a graduate/professional degree, they will absolutely know the difference. Letters of recommendation will also suffer.

    As an aside for the natural sciences, if someone's planning on going on after undergraduate to a PhD program or MD program, a big-name school is not always the best bet. While you're more likely to find a giant in the field at a big name school, the likelihood of an undergraduate interacting with that person is microscopically slim. They're also less likely to be enthused about teaching undergraduate classes. Smaller, UG-focused schools often provide a better preparatory education because of small class size, because professors tend to be more focused on teaching, and because undergrads have a better chance of being accepted into a lab in which they can perform meaningful research.

    This is definitely the case for biology.

    I seriously believe there is decent talent on this club. I think it really is the coaching that's killing us. This club is improved but whatever Phil is doing isn't getting through most of the time and he just doesn't seem to be a motivator. I hate to see Jack, Risto, Rino, Dahlin and Skinner wasted especially when I think this season is still salvageable at this point. 3-4 or 2-5 on this home stand  will put an end to the season's playoff hopes. 

    We are the exact opposite of the phrase "the whole is greater than the sum of its parts."

    We have some good and reasonably good players, but putting them together into a team, it becomes dire.
