Thread: Hard Work In Buffalo
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>FryesLeapMaine</b></div><div>Yeah I didn't delve that far into it to show their total depth chart as it's not the team I follow. That'd be a much larger wager than I was willing to bid because I'd surely have some guys out of place if I went all in. I clearly messed some stuff up as I picked a prospect that wasn't even on the team anymore. I was just attempting to move some pieces around in realistic trades with reasoning behind them in order to fairly build a team more capable of winning.

I can't believe no-one has referenced the Bogosian trade.... that was the main point to be made in this maneuvering: A way to get out of the contract while getting a surprise back. Not sure what Hjalmarsson will be, but even if he was the same or worse his contract is up sooner.

I never get this much feedback on any of my mocks, this is literally the worst one I've made and it's got the most action. Seems like the Carrot and the Stick, but they are in the opposite direction.</div></div>

I liked the Bogosian trade FWIW

Thread: Mackenzie says these teams are interested!!! Comments
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Skyraider112</b></div><div>Any team who actually wants to win the cup will give up quite a lot for a goal scorer like Kane. He has so many assets: size, speed, shot, net-front presence, penalty killing, power-play, physicality. Tell me another player in the league who does all of those things as well as Kane does. Buffalo will absolutely be asking for a 1st a good prospect and maybe a 2nd for our best player</div></div>

Thats some serious wishful thinking, Kane's a great player who's clearly motivated by the fact its his contract year, but the reality is that every day that passes and the closer the deadline gets, the more the leverage shifts to the team the Sabres ultimately deal with. Furthermore, theres absolutely zero guarantee that Kane sees himself playing in Buffalo after this year.
