Dreger: okposo to sign with sabres

Re: Dreger: okposo to sign with sabres

I think Kane will be gone.

I would be completely shocked if Kane is gone.

It would make Murray and Pegula look completely foolish and stupid. They traded for a guy, giving up plenty of assets, that they knew was frankly a head case. To dump him after a season because, well, he's still a headcase doesn't make a whole lot of sense and would reflect badly upon their initial evaluation of him.

Kane and Moulson for a bag of pucks.
Get it done GM(TM)!

Re: Dreger: okposo to sign with sabres

This is Craig Rivets top 3 lines

Reinhart..Eichel...Vesey
Kane... OReilly... Okposo
Ennis.. Girgensons... Bailey

Why would he put all the kids on the top line and the vets on the 2nd line?

Kane is jailbait, he is a real Dumb*** and in the grand scheme of things needs to go. I can see several more negative events coming up over the summer & then it'll look brilliant on the management's part.

Re: Dreger: okposo to sign with sabres

Since Kane's been a Sabre, he flaked on practice after the NBA all star game and he investigated for some sex charge that turned out to be nonsense. That's it.

Meanwhile, everyone hating on him seems to forget that ROR celebrated his contract with the Sabres by drunk driving through a Tim Horton's.

That ship has sailed, regarding Kane.

What would make them look even more foolish and stupid would be the inevitable next time this happens.

Are you trying to say that a drunk driving charge is MUCH bigger than a possible rape or at the least a sexual misconduct charge?

I think he means the incident from last summer which turned out to be a fat nothing.

As far as this incident goes, it's ugly

I'm saying the charge doesn't matter because it turned out to be false. If it were true, of course it would be a bigger deal.

I'm not one of those people who thinks athletes have to be saints and role models. I'm just pointing out that Kane is getting a lot of hate when O'Reilly did something worse and no one seems to give a ****.

Personally, I think it's racism....against O'Reilly. People don't care cuz they see his Irish last name and just assume he's getting a DUI at some point.

This looks like a problem, like it might stick. It's in perpetuity that these things keep coming up as well but hey maybe he can get off everytime right ??

No it looks even worse giving up on him after one year and dumping him now when his value is low, especially when they should have known what they were signing up for when they traded for him to begin with.

There's a difference between giving up and doing what's best for the team, this dude is not going to change and there's a better than average chance he gets himself suspended. We took a chance on him based on new scenery, he still is the same deal. Unless he finds God or comes to Jesus and says likewise, you shop him out of town.

Nah, you hold on to him for another season or two and see if he can right the ship, if he can't then you dump him. You look stupid as an organization just giving up on him after one year and make people wonder why you even bothered getting him in the first place.

The real lesson to take is don't trade for guys who are headcases in the future.
