I'll go out on a limb and say he signs a 2 year deal here next off-season (if he plays well)

Don't we have a dreadful record in their building?

Smells like a 5-2 L

Or....a normal thought anyone would have given the state of the world and this country LOL! None of the above wait for facts

The Leafs, Panthers, Lightning, Canes, Wings, Stars, Sabres apparently disagree. If he’s getting that much interest, he must look good on the ice.

I’d like to think he wants to come here and will this team into the playoffs

Larry Brooks reported he’s not going to NYR. does the Tage injury keep him away or make us offer 2 years and more $ along with making a trade for a Center?

The Flames and Oilers should be 2 teams open to trading good players

I would seriously call the Oilers and make a legit offer for McDavid. Then sign Kane. More realistic, we could acquire a top 6 Center via trade with picks and prospects and sign Kane

I know it’s extremely unlikely….but if the Oilers continue to implode, McDavid could ask for a trade in the summer make a call and open the discussions Power, Cozens, Savoie, Benson, 1st I’d expect they’d want Dahlin or Tage though we are one of the few teams who could take his $$ and have trade pieces he wanted to be a Leaf or Sabre on draft night.

88

Team needs another forward, physical defensive Dman and vet goalie

What’s his cap hit? I’d move Comrie and bring him in. Perhaps with Foligno (though unlikely they’d move him)

Laugh now^ eat crow later when he’s an elite forward here. Had 90 pts just 2 years ago on an awful Chicago team. Still put up 57 pts last year on tanking Hawks while playing hurt.

Kane has been working extremely hard. In the video from September, he already looked good. I’d expect him to be capable of 90 points if playing on a line with good players

Respectfully, Kane was innocent. He has been with the same woman since 2012. They have a 2 year old son. I believe engaged too. it’s a shame that false allegations can follow someone the rest of their life and they are condemned by public opinion Also of note: Kevyn Adams knows Kane well…having been his roomate when he entered the league. They have remained friends. Don Granato was an asst coach in Chicago and Kane really likes him

Good idea also! Maybe in 2-3 years when we are running full steam ahead, we can make a play for #88

it would have to be overpayment for the Hawks to even consider moving him. The PR backlash would be highly negative.

For anyone complaining about this.....seriously? Are you crazy? We just acquired a 24 year old player who is capable of winning the Selke trophy. He led the entire NHL in takeaways over the last 2 seasons & already has a Lady Byng. Whenever he has been given more responsibility....he has thrived. Most important is that O'Reilly can eat top minutes, win important draws, take away the other team's best player &&& take pressure off Eichel & Reinhart. The value of that cannot be understated. It could be the reason why the Oilers young players have failed to develop properly. Ideally it would be 7 X 7 for the contract but honestly for an extra 500k...who cares. We gave up a player who could be out of the league within 2 years, an enigmatic Zadorov who has plenty of potential but may not have the hockey sense to develop. Compher had no place in this lineup. McGinn can fill in on your 2nd line and you won't miss a beat. Getting this done ASAP is huge for the atmosphere around the team. It sends a message league wide that The Buffalo Sabres will pay to keep talent.

There is no question about Kane's top line ability nor O'Reilly's. Kane is a blazing power winger who can hit 30 goals with talent around him O'Reilly is a Selke calibur player that gets better when given more responsibility. He will thrive with top C duties. IMO O'Reilly and Eichel will have quite the battle for Captaincy once Gionta retires Girgensons is all heart & can score 20-25 over a full season My only question is how good Reinhart can be.

2 years ago my future lineup included: Kane McEichel Kane Moulson O'Reilly Ennis Foligno Reinhart Girgensons There's less than 1% chance of it happening but I would offer up Reinhart, Moulson, Larsson, 1st 16', 1st 17' for #88 (The hope was he would hit UFA this summer)

Murray will want to keep the lower 1st we have and package it with Zadorov and Grigorenko to make a play at O'Reilly

I would offer Boston Stewart 50% + 2nd (2015 BUF) + 2nd (2016) for 1st (2015 UNPROTECTED) + Subban If they want more toss in a prospect like Catenacci

Some ideas: Stewart + Neuvirth to Vancouver for 2nd + B Level Prospect Stewart 50% + 3rd to Bruins for 2nd + Subban Stewart + Moulson to Bruins for Loui E + Subban What I think Murray will try to make happen.... Stewart 50% + 2nd (BUF 2015) + 2nd (2016) to BOS for 1st (2015 unprotected) + M.Subban 1st (STL/NYI) + Moulson + Zadorov + Grigorenko to COL for O'Reilly + Iginla but... 1st + Zadorov + Grigorenko for O'Reilly is more realistic (Overpayment required for Avs to move him)

We need to unload this team. We cannot afford to miss out on this tank. Ennis + Stewart to BOS for Subban + 1st unprotected Moulson to CHI for 1st + prospect Mitchell to anyone who gives us a random prospect Neuvirth for ANYTHING but hopefully Vancouver for a 4th
