Easier to protect them, especially if they are to face top lines. Less responsibility for them. It is not unusual - e.g. Stamkos and Sequin

Kane - Girgensons - Eichel Moulson - Reinhart - Gionta Foligno - Grigo - CoHo Delauries - McCormick - Kaleta Larsson - Flynn OEL - Bogo Zadorov - Risto Gorges - Pysyk Weber Pickard Gustavsson

Will Spooner be any good? Guy seems like Luke Adam, but worse. Id rather a second

Murray pushed for the deal now. Winnie wanted to wait until the off season (i guess to get more buyers). Not that desperate.

I think everyone over estimates the home-town effect. In a few years Vancouver will (presumably) basically be on the decline, whereas Buffalo will be hitting its stride. The chance of winning a cup probably outweighs seeing your home a bit more often. Plus as a player, would you rather have McDavid feeding you pucks or Bo Horvat

Hodgson has gone from leading this team in points to being a healthy scratch. That's on Nolan. I am not sure what Richardson would be like as a coach, I really don't know enough about him. But Murray has done enough to make me trust him and his judgement

Nolan got a three year deal I think. I am not sold on him as a coach for a long season. He is a good motivate, but i'm not sure he is enough of a tactician

No defence either

Kane has reset his twitter to complete the fresh start. Said he is very excited about the trade. Also commented saying he did not have the surgery to end his season, but during a game his shoulder popped out twice and it was getting painful. When they opened him up it was worse than expected and so it was good they fixed it now. He also played through a fractured ankle and hand earlier in the season. He also said he found the tracksuit thing funny and that kind of stuff doesn't bother him. Finally he also wondered if it would be Eichel or McDavid we would draft - said he is excited to play with them/other young guys on team.

Trade deadline will be really boring this year. Last few years it has generally been fun for Sabres fans

Again, the return isn't great

The first question I would ask prospects, is if we drafted you, do you think there is a reason you wouldn't sign with us

Myers for Bogo. Armia, Lameiux and 1st for Kane Stafford to sweeten the pot That is the breakdown I heard, and confirms in my mind it is one asset too many. But oh well. I just hope Bogo and Kane get off the injury train

That's good for us. Help the tank. Murray pushed to get the deal done today, not in the offseason.

What on earth does he see in Foligno? I'd trade him in a heart beat.

Well losing Myers and not getting Kane till next year probably helps the old tank

Kane and Bogo both have fairly bad injury histories. That's another concern

We might also ahve Burmistrov. I really want this guy. Please be true

This was a lot to give up. Not sure how I feel about it. Especially as Murray made that McNabb trade last year, which wasn't great. If Lameiux wasn't included i'd be happier. I think we overpaid by one asset :/ I hope Kane pulls his together. I really wanted us to draft this guy, but he seems like a bit of a cancer

Why can't the Oilers win a game or two? Things are pretty snug down in the bottom two. We need to out-tank them. If we come second there is only like a 1/3 chance we get one of the studs

Don't tell PA that, those events may end up being Pegula's Dealey Plaza, Dallas moment

Most people are not so good at something it would feel like a waste if they didn't do it. That's the key. It isn't about doing a job you hate because you can't think of something better or don't have the capital to leave. It's the fact you have the freedom to do whatever you want, but to quit would be to give up millions as well as your best ability. Hard to justify that to oneself/peers/family, especially when your parents sacrificed so much of their lives to pay for equipment or drive you to practice/games. Just after the 1 minute mark. Says sport was always top for him, but to play piano he had to go to hockey practice. Music is clearly the guys hobby, but i wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't uncommon for hockey players to like hockey but not LOVE it

How many shut outs is that?

Plus their core guys (e.g. Richards, Brown) are build for the playoffs not the regular season
