This point is about how bad a franchise the Sabres are, and why a guy like Kane would never waive his NMC to go there. It's complete & utter fantasy to imagine he ever would.I don’t see Kane there in a TDL deal. If they play this year as they should (improved with good youth) I could see him choosing them as a UFA. While he sold his original home there and his folks spend a lot of time in Chicago now (grandkid). He still has a lot of family there so it could happen.Yeah, the Leafs have nothing to do with this.
In fairness, which team last won a round in the playoffs?Yeah, the Leafs have nothing to do with this.
One of them had at some point in the past, but both teams are vying for his services this year.
He feels a deep seeded need to proclaim Leaf superiority by making other teams look worse.
Exactly. It's really not necessary and isn't much of an argument. Buffalo bad. Leafs good. haha
What does that have to do with Kane? If you saw it in the news then you know nobody associated with the club below the level of asst coach knew what happened until years later.
Again, this has what to do with Kane’s trade value? (Please use facts in your explanation).Winning at All Costs Comes at a Price as Blackhawks' Darkest Hour Comes to Light
When the Chicago Blackhawks failed to report allegations of sexual abuse by one of their own coaches during their Stanley Cup run in 2010, they sent a message that winning is more important than anything else...syndication.bleacherreport.com
I think there is effect on anyone that was a leader on that team. How is that not known in the locker room? Facts won’t be known because there is a unspoken cover of asses when something like this is exposed
Get out from under the rock. The facts are known. No players knew the extent of what happened until it was made public (pretty recently). There have been hearings already (where were you?). Q, kept it from the players. Mickey D,(team president) took it off the plate of Bowman and said he would handle it.
Didn’t know that about the leaf’s that’s disgusting. It’s too bad that the abused players on the hawks did not feel comfortable talking to the player leadership.
I could see him doing 3x5 to the bolts if he wants a cup. I can’t see him doing that to a team like buffalo though. He’s either going to cost 8mil or sign with a contender or the Hawks at this point in his career. The guy is still a 90pt winger who could potentially even be in triple digits with the right supporting cast.
There have been hearings? Citation needed.
What locker room risk would teams be taking by bringing in Kane? This makes no sense.
Power and Dahlin as the core of that blueline also bodes very nicely for them...
Ok I’m sorry, Bettman never conducted investigative hearings. Questioning those prominently involved and suspending (banning?) some while others voluntarily quit.
Talk about revisionist history.
I do believe you imagined it. You claimed there were hearings. Citation needed.
Nope, Bettman met with all the principals and punished many of them.
