Re: Patrick Kane
From: (Anonymous)Oh god, I wasn't even thinking about Buffalo. The press would be absurd and inescapable. She'd be seeing his name literally everywhere. I really, really hope that doesn't happen.
Re: Patrick Kane
From: (Anonymous)I think Buffalo is the likeliest because Kane has complete control over where he goes and if Buffalo came calling, I bet that's the one he would pick.
Re: Patrick Kane
From: (Anonymous)Re: Patrick Kane
From: (Anonymous)It just makes too much sense to me, from a hockey perspective. It's horrifying but it is what it is. Buffalo has both futures and present assets to spend on Kane, they have the cap space right now, and he's arguably the most accomplished athlete to ever come out of Buffalo. They could want to stick a hometown elite talent next to their franchise center for the rest of their careers.
Re: Patrick Kane
From: (Anonymous)Re: Patrick Kane
From: (Anonymous)Ah I just made a comment asking if Buffalo could afford him because I was hoping there'd be at least something that would prevent Kane from going to Buffalo :( Shit, I still really hope this doesn't happen.
Re: Patrick Kane
From: (Anonymous)The thing I would consider is that they had to give up a (not unreasonable) number of assets to get O'Reilly and Evander Kane, and they may not want to deplete the prospect pool for a player who, if he's playing, would be 29/30 when Buffalo realistically starts to contend.

From: (Anonymous)Re: Patrick Kane
From: (Anonymous)Not to mention, you have a fanbase already willing to rally around Kane now with extra incentive to rally around Kane.
Re: Patrick Kane
From: (Anonymous)On the bright side, while Buffalo may have the cap space for the next few seasons, a lot of our younger core guys (Girgensons, Risto, Reino, Eich, a couple Amerks graduating to one-way contracts) will be getting major pay raises fairly soon, and PKane's cap hit would get in the way of that. Hopefully management maintains the foundation they built instead of selling it all for the quick fix they've been avoiding.
Re: Patrick Kane
From: (Anonymous)If it helps, Yerdon (Buffalo-based writer) doesn't see Buffalo as one of the teams at all. I think people are just speculating Buffalo purely because Kane is from there and they have cap space.
