[proposal] VAN-BUF


Recommended Posts

With the rumours picking up for a Lack to buffalo deal picking up. Here is my proposal.

TO VAN

Kane

2nd

TO BUF

Hamhuis

Higgins

Lack

Vey/Gaunce/Grenier/other B+ prospect

WHY BUFFALO DOES THIS

Buffalo has a great young core. They need veteran leadership. With this trade they get 2 veteran players who have made it to the SCF and has a lot of playoff experience. One of whom is an olympic Dman in Hamhuis. Another being Higgins who is a very good 2 way forward who is great on the PK. Plus they get a prospect to develope and/or Vey. And a "potential" star goalie in Lack. Not bad for a player thats never played a game for them. Plus a pick. Plus Kane is rumoured to go to the Canucks when he is a UFA [sPECULATION] so maybe Buffalo would see this as getting atleast something for him.

WHY VANCOUVER DOES THIS

we make this move to free cap space (Hamhuis, Higgins), and roster spots for youth. If Vey is moved, thatd be 2 spots for a prospect to come in with kane being the one taking Higgins spot. We also move Lack and have the goalie situation taking care of.

Then we can look at moving Bieksa at the draft for a 2nd/3rd and bring in a UFA such as Franson/Ehroff on a 1/2 year deal. Not looking too far ahead in this proposal. I think we could work something out here.

What does CDC think?

Are u the Sabers GM? Close friend?

No he isn't but anyone that follows hockey knows sabers aren't moving Kane.

Why would they trade him when they gave up a kings ransom for him and he has yet to play 1 game for the organization.

They see Kane as the .perfect winger for eichel or reinhart

Wrong section. again. And Buffalo isn't trading Kane. You don't have to be part of the Sabres organization or even be a fan to know that. Classic quantity for quality.

Moving it to right section. Never realized lol

BUF doesn't do this. Kane is going to be a franchise power forward for them. Hamhuis/Higgins just plug holes for a year. Lack is 1 year to UFA. b+ prospect doesn't fill the void left by trading Meyers/Kane. AND you're asking two players with NTC's to waive....much harder to make that work than you think.

If BUF really wants Lack they will just trade a draft pick to get him, and JB will be more than happy.

Again, again, again, Buffalo is not moving Kane.

As for Buffalo "need[ing] veteran leadership", see: Gionta, Moulson, Gorges for aged vets, with special attention to Gionta and Gorges for highly and widely regarded veteran leadership. Next, for the seasoned-but-still-young vets, see: Ennis, Foligno, Bogo, etc.

Really, just because Buffalo has some highly talented youth coming into the mix doesn't mean they do not also have veteran leadership firmly installed.

And again, Buffalo is not moving Kane. Really.
