Is he a guy that will add to the locker room or diminish it? I'm not sure he helps us.

[Norcal]

He's not the same kid who made all those mistakes years ago and he shouldn't be judged by them today. 

He's a grown ass man with a family and was a huge fan of the team growing up. 

He'd be proud to wear the Sabres sweater and he can still help them on the ice. 

Bring Pat Home!

Skinner and Thompson both get there tonight.  Sabres win 8-2.

I'm sure that means something to you.

I could see a move like this if the Blackhawks need cap relief. But not for a large package of picks and prospects.

No. Not looking to get fleeced.

I could see something in the middle working for both teams though.

He's not part of the future.  Hard pass.

[Sabel79]

Yeah... I don't think giving Pat Kane that much proximity to Chippewa and time to exploit it would ever end well for anybody.

I tend to agree with Norcal on this point:

But I just don't see the need to bring him in, just because he's from here.  I think he's likely on the downslide of his career and I don't want another contract like that.

I'm not signing him to a long term deal here. 

I'm looking for two good years from a guy who grew up loving his hometown team and would love to hold one more cup on his home ice. 

The ice he watched his heros play on when he was young. 

If he doesn't want that or is looking to get overpaid then he can push off.

I'll give them the lowest 2023 2nd we have. That's it. I'll toss in Bjork too

[thewookie1]

Kane has grown up a ton over the past few years and was the C for Team USA in the World Championship recently. After his contract comes up, I’d give him an offer but I wouldn’t trade for him

[K-9]

Romancing the Kane.

+1.  Let's wait until the team has completely gelled or has solidified.  The locker room is seemingly improved by all accounts, so let's not F%$# with it.  Plus no hard assets (except maybe Bjork 🙂).  If we positive momentum going into 23/24 and he wants to finish his career and is still an effective goal scorer, ok.

Tokarski in net

[woods-racer]

https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/hockey/news/sabres-dustin-tokarski-guarding-cage-monday

per the article ...

 

*Tokarski is 1-1-1 so far in March with a terrific .957 save percentage in the process. The 32-year-old is now 6-9-5 with a 3.07 GAA and a .907 save percentage through 22 games this season. Despite a 2-5-2 road record to date, Tokarski is sporting a solid .919 save percentage in nine games away from home.*

 

 

He gives his team a chance. 

[Stads]

If you take away Subban and Dell's crappy numbers, Sabres' goalies are 22-23-8 this season

Did Pisser pick up an injury somewhere? 

[WildCard]

I do wonder if Krebs gets the Reinhart treatment on the NHL and is stapled on the wings or if he eventually sniffs a center role. Seems more like a center to me.

I think it's been discussed by Meatballs previously. 

Long term some of the guys playing wing are penciled in at C.

Yes. I’ve mentioned DGs comments here. The idea is that some of the centers are playing wing so that they can become better wings in the future, in case they’re ever needed there.
