Do you ever plan on the Sabres to be good ? Or can we expect Reinhart and Nylander to actually do something and lead this team some where. The fact we are 31st WITH Kane means he can not be traded. He's by far our best goal scorer.
Last 80 games. FORTY goals. 64 points. But right, let's trade a guy with forty ****ing goals in his last 80 Games for a late first and a B prospect. Yeah we don't need a 26 year old legit power forward who is by far the hardest working player we have even more so then RoR. Can't pay a guy who will be 27 at the start of his next contract 6-6.5 mil. We can use it instead to pay 6 mil to a 30 year old Ghostposo and 5 mil to mr zero points Moulson.
You give Kane 6 years. Give him 6.5 mil per. Limited ntc to entice him to re-sign here. Like moving Kane for yet more futures just prolongs the rebuild another year or two. Sooner or later this garbage franchise needs to keep its top players. This team is not that fast, not that tough and can't score. Kane excels at all those aspects. He isn't a 40 goal scorer but Kane will give 100% nearly every game, score ~25 goals a season while missing a handful of game seasons due to his power forward style and will score at a 30-35g/82 gp pace while doing so. It's just gotten so ridiculous reading things like Kane stifles offense. The majority of the people who hate Kane are ones who also thought Zemgus Girgensons could post good numbers on Eichels wing
Trade Kane. We need to lose our best player right now who has 12 goals and 21 points in 22 games so we can give more ice time to Girgs and Larsson and the Other bum players we have. I don't want a ****ing late first round pick. I want to keep our best goal scorer who is 26. Again, 40 goals in his last 80 games. 40+ goal pace this year after more then 1/4 of the season is complete.
Yep, trade Kane. Let’s say he brings you a 1st. That’s a first that could be used as an asset in the draft or as a trade chip to bring in a good player from a cap strapped team.
Now let’s say his value is where you think it is, and we’re able to fit him under the cap with no impact on our ability to sign future players. Now, as a GM you just potentially added an asset long term and was able to sign Kane at the same time.
Do you think Toronto is regretting getting rid of their best goal scorer at a time of roster turnover? A goal scorer that is more consistent than Kane. A goal scorer that was on a very inept offense team when he was there.
There are many ways to improve an offense for a team that doesn’t necessarily rely on keeping your Best goal scorer. One of them is changing the culture of the team by improving the coaching staff. You do that, not only will you improve your offense, but you’re going to improve your overall team play.
