You're wrong there We've. Hoover Reinhart Electrolux

Amen, brother.

We can only trade for Shattenkirk's rights now, correct?

Bridge deal tells all. Uncertainty to his future development. Get what we can get now before he proves he's JAG.

There won't be, therefore trade him now.

JBOT = Darcy. Not really, I just want to see some moves already.

Bowman won a cup with Saad. Must like what he brings that Panarin doesn't.

McCabe Shattenkirk Beaulieu Risto Antipin Bogo Gorges Falk Better that last year.

OK, now we can talk about the extra from the Rangers for getting Kane and only giving up #21. So, it's Kane and #8 for Hamonic and (???) from the Rangers.

Not what the Rangers have, but 8 + 21 gets the 2 first rounders that the Isles want for Hamonic.

You're sure that Sam will be as good, if not better, this year. I think he may be as good, but could be worse this year. That's the difference.

Shattenkirk, Keith and Seabrook would be a pretty good top 3.

You asked for a reason. You didn't say it had to be well thought out. ;) How about he plays 3rd line center this year with two average wingers. GMs see poor results and don't think he's a good enough center for 3rd line work and has proven to be just an average winger. Can we get more today for Sam than we get next year as an average 3rd line center?

Yes, Yes, No. Kane - will not re-sign here. Get what we can. Reinhart - Future value undetermined but I believe (note I said I believe) overinflated. Will not be a center for the Sabres (JBOT wants a Bonino type on the 3rd line). No. Nothing else major we got (will not part with ROR, Jack, Risto, Okposo).

Concussion. Likelihood? Ennis, Okposo, Fedun just this year. I may have missed a few.

I'm with you on that, Taro.

That's what I'm saying. You're sure. I'm not. If I can get a 50-60 point winger today, I take it.

How so? If he falls flat on his face this year and is a bust, we'll get nothing for him next year and we'll all agree that we should have traded him now. If he turns into a superstar, then it's obvious we wont trade him. Waiting does the Sabres no good, unless you're SURE he will become a superstar. No one is sure. If he can be traded for a sure thing now, I'd take it. Now, what player is a sure thing that we could get now?

Guess we'll see a goalie or two in this draft (not from the NCAA).

Trade Kane for Jonathan Marchessault.

Maybe he just likes warm weather and no state tax.

Tippett would be a great add. He's a good coach and deserved better that the Yotes dysfunction. He never said a bad word about the organization although he had every right to.

Tocchet :unsure:

You're right. I'll have to stop that. How about Randy Cunneyworth?? ;) Seriously, Ramsay checks all the boxes. Never succeeded as a head coach, but has been a good assistant elsewhere. And he did play with Housley for a few years.

Wouldn't mind Craig Ramsay as an assistant to Housley.
