Roster Speculation Part XI...$teven $tamko$?? Pony up for PK?

[Reddawg]

I'd keep Kane.

I would too, no question. If we trade him, next year at the deadline or July of 2017 we're going to be desperately seeking a big physical 25+ goal winger.

 

[MackAttack26]

I just had a thought.

Given we've been scouting Vancouver, I've been having a hard time thinking about "who on vancouver" Buffalo would want. I've been thinking a bit more, and thought "Well, who on Buffalo would vancouver want", then it dawned on me. What if its Kane? They bid heavy for him when he was with Winnipeg. What if Vancouver called Tim Murray after the suspension to ask. Tim says "Not interested, but I'll listen to your offer"....and they offer up something stupid, like Virtanen...

Why would we want someone as stupid as Virtanen?

Mentioned in another thread re:Vancouver. Wonder if Hansen is of interest to TM, instead of extending McGinn for too long of term, Hansen could fill that role while being a more flexible player up and down the lineup. 2yrs left, $2.5m cap hit. 29y old.

Hansen is one of their heart and soul guys, I don't know why they'd deal him. Especially at the pricetag he commands. Second leading goalscorer, third in overall points and leading the team in +/-

yeah I agree, but who knows with Benning steering the ship. Might be interested in shuffling some pieces in their rebuild with so many youngsters knocking on the top 6 door...or maybe TM likes Burrows

Wiericoch is going to be Sabre soon

Ah yes, the rare j5, usually reserved for Monta Ellis.

I'm sure it's just a guess but it totally makes sense

Makes a lot of sense. Adds depth. Doesn't change much though.

The fans certainly want to trade him, for what it's worth. He's had a down year but I think everyone is trying to figure out if this is the real Wiercioch or not. I wouldn't mind trying him out in Buffalo, although he's not the high-end LD buffalo still needs (not that anyone claimed he would be...just sayin). He seems serviceable, and would help keep McCabe on the bottom pairing where he belongs.

 

[Reddawg]

What do we have that would deliver Wiercioch and Shane Prince without hurting too badly?

 

[Jame]

Ah yes, the rare j5, usually reserved for Monta Ellis.

oh my god... My wife tells that story all the time... her impression of "... FOR THE WIN!!!!" is hilarious.

Jim Benning is a moron, I'd love if he decided to get his team younger by giving us Hansen and a pick for McGinn

No, but I'll take McCann.

I think he'd be about as likely to trade us the twins for Chad Johnson.

maybe if we are able to move out Gorges, Weircoch could take that defensive/PK role over. I could certainly see the Sens moving him on cheap now that they have Methot/Phaneuf on that left side.

We could do worse. And it is a least a poor insurance policy for the higher-slotted Left D we need.

May also depend on what form of handshake agreement they had with Weber.

So what's the word?
Any new rumblings on Sabres trades today?

Apparently we're getting Wiercioch.

It's a j5.

 

[Mit Yarrum]

I'd love it if we could take advantage of some of these teams with morons in charge. Benning is ripe for the pickings.

 

[struckbyaparkedcar]

Are the Oilers able to trump all of our non-core stuff if they put RNH, Yak, Eberle or picks on the board, or do those guys have way more stink than I perceive?

I don't like how creative Murray might have to get to trade for good players, because there are more desperate teams with more developed pieces right now.

Spoken of on hockey hotline today about Druoin.
Spoke on Girgs as well and I tend to agree with them.
