Patrick Kane to sign with Sabres

[yave1964]

  Numerous sources have Kane going home to play this year and next with Buffalo, just under 4million per. 

 

  It makes sense, the Sabres want to contend, Kaner a local boy the hope to move the needle.

  I would be weary, backstrom had the same hip surgery and just walked away from the game. Still if he is 90 percent the player he was  the Sabres added him for nothing but money.

And Seguin, while still playing, has become the shell of himself.

Seguin is still serviceable. Kucherov still elite.

 

But yeah, hip surgery is hard to come back from.

 

Kesler was a banger league superstar once upon a time

  Agreed, watched the Stars against the Leafs early in the year, paid attention to Seguin (usually I study blueliners or favorite players or scouting for my fantasy teams lol). 

  Anyway he is a North/South straight line player with no cutting ability or speed. He is a fearless and capable net front presence on the power play. Still highly skilled but nothing like he once was. He is blessed to be surrounded by highly skilled young players and a system that still utilizes what he can still do. Overpaid? Oh my God yes, he and Benn both but unlike other teams with bloated contracts who cut the player Dallas, one of the Smartest teams in hockey manages to take advantage of what they can still do. Seguin on one leg is still very useful and skilled and a warrior. Overpaid but still talented.

So, who will grab him first while still with NA status? I pass.

A few of us did. And promptly dropped him.

He’s been talking to Toronto, Florida, and Detroit as well. How much longer before the official announcement?

The Sabres will make this up in Kane related merchandise.

 

The crowds when he brought the (Blackhawks') Cup to Buffalo were unreal.

 

This would have been a terrible idea for draft pick Kane but could be a great match for stalwart veteran Kane.

I hope he inks in Buffalo and is serviceable at least, even if he pots 10-20.
