Some of that article you linked has me worried more. Is he damaged from Byfugly's bullying? What is going to happen with banter (or worse) in the locker room here? Are other teams going to make that the book on him? Is he going to b the target of taunting during the game? How will he respond?Originally Posted by JATMtheJATM
Lehner's history. He just doesn't know it yet.

That twitter source wouldn't put much stock in what he says..Athough Lemieux was angry and stunned he wasn't a 1st Rounder and it was reported he was pissed off he got sent back to juniors maybe he is a delusional egomaniac
Kane has scored 20 goals or more once in 6 years, And he did that 4 years ago.
He has out stayed his welcome with 3 head coaches in 6 years.
Kane is not the kind of guy you want around a very young team.
Torn rotator cuff. Gee, hope that turns out ok or we'll be tanking for years to come.

and if thats the case, see you later.
though i did look at the sabres projected lines next year, and while the team looks solid, the right side is even more shallow with armia gone now. that could change with more trades though. but it appears so shallow, that i almost feel you have to keep coho and put him on the right side.

Look at the guys he was put on a line with after he scored 30 goals...they put him with Oli Jokinen FFS. Jokinen is a bum. And this past season he was with Mark Scheifele.
Any wonder why his scoring went down?
Put him next to McDavid or Eichel with Ennis likely on the other win and watch him actually reach his 40 goal potential people were saying when he was drafted.
Well Puppa was a decent NHL goalie, but that's about it.
Bingo
Glad you agree with me.
He's been relegated to play with those schmucks because his play has suffered and his play has suffered because he's playing with those schmucks. Feedback effects but which is the greater reason.
His offense is not what I'm mostly concerned about. He's been pretty consistent at about 0.6 ppg. Nothing great but he's still young and hopefully will be paired with better mates next year.
I'm mostly concerned with his play when his team has the puck. When he broke in, he was a liability outside the offensive zone. Has he improved much?
Then there's the concussion, the rotator cuff, his head. That's a lot to worry about before he has a chance to prove himself seven months hence.
Yeah, you're right. Decent, but that's about it. But he's a sentimental favorite of mine. He had a few good years with the Sabres before his back started giving out. Plus he was a legendary drinker. I used to know his wife pretty well. Got hammered with him a few times. They're still on Grand Island. Lost touch with them after he went to Tampa and I moved to Atlanta.
Still, I think we'd all be surprised if Kasdorf develops into much more than a backup or even a career minor leaguer.

Ollie Jokinen had 26 goals the year they played together. As a Jets fan, I wanted Kane to be good but it was a ton of the same. Plays hard, throws a ton of pucks at the net, misses it a lot and doesn't pick corners like you would like a sniper to. They tried all sorts of ways to integrate him with Little and Wheeler and they couldn't make it work. Maybe if you put him with a guy who will get him the puck where he wants it every time, he would thrive because he rarely makes any plays for himself.
Lets see how Myers does when he doesn't have to be the shutdown guy. In Winnipeg he won't have to be. Stafford, while extremely average, allows us to move Buff back to D. I think it is a pretty even trade. Which is rare.
Jokinen didn't even score 26 goals in the two years he was a member of the Jets.
haha, I must have looked at assists. He only played with Kane the second year but had 18. He was on the PP and got better than 2nd line minutes in the past and the injuries and lack of production was persistent. I think if you guys are waiting to get the next Seguin or Voracek you might be waiting for a while. He does play hard though. I will miss that about him. Good on the PK as well.
Zach Bogosian is from Messena NY and sources are telling WGR he has always wanted to be a Buffalo Sabre

something else about Kane (I remember this like it was yesterday, that is how long I wanted him) When the Thrashers moved to Winnipeg Kane asked management to trade him because he didn't want to play in Winnipeg.
Yes, the big city of Buffalo should make him happy.
Hes already said he would be happy with being moved to buffalo. Try again.
