article from ESPN the Magazine: How the Sabres get Kane

[BillsSabresB.C.T. Fan]

The Buffao Sabres are high on Kane and the Buffalo native wants to play for the Blue and Gold so here's what the Sabres do they trade Afinogenov, MacAurthur and Buffalo's own 2nd round draft choice to the Blackhawks (they still have a second round draft choice later in the draft from the (Martin Biron deal) and their 2008 #1 draft choice to get the #1 pick in this years draft and they draft Kane. The Sabres are also doing two things getting the player that they want and second they're making cap room to sign Briere and Drury.

:bravo:

the NHL draft is nothing like the NFL draft

That would be pretty cheap for the 1st overall pick, imo.

That would be pretty cheap for the 1st overall pick, imo. they would want stafford instead of McArthur, I don't think Kane is the answer for this team. It would be a nice story, but picking a 5 foot 7 forward won't help us bulk up for the playoffs.

[Bill Brasky]

no way i'd give up stafford. he's gonna be awesome.

[chernobylwraiths]

F*** that! I would give up people right now to crap teams to try and get NEXT year's number 1.

Tavares!

Kane is still young.....he could grow to 5'9"

[Mitchy moo]

I think Kane would look good in Blue / Gold.

[Crisis]

What are the odds that LW starts a thread about a WNY native in the sabres zone?

[THATHURMANATOR]

I would do that trade in 2 seconds! We really wouldn't be giving up that much and we would be saving money. Kane will be the next Briere but better. Yes we need to bulk up a bit but that can still take place.

[G Wolly]

sure, max is kinda good but he tries to be too fancy and ends up giving the puck away too much. i would definitely make that trade.

[chernobylwraiths]

I would not make that trade.

[DraftBoy]

I would rather move players like Zagrapan and Persson instead of Max and McArthur

WHY??? This makes NO sense IMO. Max is what he is but isn't going to get any better, McArthur is never going to be more than average. Now Zagapran and Person are our previous 2 first round selections. They are way younger than Max and would make less money. From what I have read Zagapran should be a sniper(something Max is not). I would be very angry if they traded those 2 prospects.

He is listed on ESPN at 5'9"

Sure but we would need to give up a lot more than Max and Mcarthur.
