Stamkos isn’t signing here
Kane isn’t signing a deal that small either- he played at a ppg pace this year- he’s not coming home

And Skinner isn’t going anywhere- JUST STOP

At 35, I doubt he gets more than the 12 million here from another team.

Yeah, no team would take a 30 goal scorer at 5 million. GMs would never, literally never do that.

Kane just played at a ppg pace, he’s gonna get double that unless he takes less to go to a contender

And the Sabres aren’t looking to get rid of Skinner- plus he’s unlikely to waive- it’s a pipe dream

no one is paying a soon to be 36 year old Kane 8x3.
My guess is he gets 6x1 or something of that nature.

The Skinner trade. BUF isn't going to retain 4x3. I just don't see it, it's too much. Not for that return.

I meant per year, not the length of the Kane deal
My guess is he gets a 2year deal for 6+ mil per
But to get him to sign with the Sabres,
it very well could be $8mil x 3yrs

I doubt it, the market for 36 year old players isn't that big. He's not the same guy he was, he's slowed down.
BUF isn't that bad of a place to be, It's not like DET is miami beach or something. At least in BUF there are nice areas like Niagara Falls and the wineries. The only nice area in DET is crossing to canada to Gamble and even that isn't what it use to be.

He was basically a ppg player last year
Kane could take less to play with someone like NYR or the Avs,
but if he signs w a team like Buffalo he’s getting paid

Skinner has played in 1000 games. He has never seen the postseason. I think he would waive for a team expected to make it. Might not be this trade, but If the sabres want to move on. There is a very easy, and much cheaper solution than buying him out.

Kane at his age will only get that at 1 year. And maybe double, but more likely 6.5ish. At this contact. He is guaranteed 12 million dollars, no matter how he performs in age 37 and 38. If he retires, doesnt matter, he gets the full contract. You're not factoring term and guaranteed contracts at 35.

No, Kane doesn’t still get paid if he retires
That’s just wrong
You’re not factoring in common sense
Kane wants a chance to win another Cup
He’ll sign for less in a place where he’s got a decent chance
That place isn’t Buffalo

PIT isn’t a place that assures Skinner of the postseason
He’s got a better chance w Buffalo next year
And it’s well known he signed here, & demanded the NTC, bc he wants to stay near his family
So there’s gonna have to be a more compelling reason than “maybe u can make the playoffs” if u waive,
bc he might be able to make the playoffs here next year

PLUS, the Sabres like him & don’t want to move him

Just stop

Kane is playing on borrowed time with surgically repaired hips.
As much as you think he's "getting paid" he's not. His contract will be underwhelming because that's what happens to 36 year old guys.
If teams are going to invest big money on a guy, it's for a younger player with more of a future.
6 mil on a 1 year deal is probably his ceiling. He probably gets less with any term because no team wants the risk. Especially not teams who are trying to be playoff teams.
So it doesn't matter if it's BUF or NYR he's not getting paid what you think, and I highly doubt the amount of pay will vary much between those 2 teams.

Disagree

https://www.capfriendly.com/browse/35-plus

well disagree all you want, guys on 35+ contracts making over 6..... 1 that's OV who is frankly over paid right now and that contract looks like a huge mistake as they are stuck paying a declining player 9.5 mil per.

If he was going to get paid last year he would have made more than 2.75 as a 35 year old.
But he didn't. Instead he got signed to a 1 year deal with DET. I'm sure he hoped when signing that contract that he would get flipped to a contender.
But that didn't happen. So I'm sure when he signs the next deal, he might look for an even worse to have a chance at getting flipped.
But what isn't going to happen, is he's not going to get "paid". He's too old for that. He's got to many health issues. The league is just a lot smarter than that now.

Guys 35+ also don’t have ppg seasons
U can stop whenever
You’re not convincing me of anything

Okay. Made a mistake there, it has to do with cap hit.

Nonetheless, point remains, since I don't see him retiring before the contract ends. Which means it's 12 million guaranteed. Which I don't see teams giving out. Especially the good ones. Since they'll be stuck with the cap hit if he does retire.

Yes, maybe not pittsburgh, hence why I said it might not be pittsburgh, but a team that has a High shot of making the playoffs. But once again, it seems like a very pittsburgh move. No wait you're right, they didn't do it with Kessel, Carter, or more recently with Karlsson....

another, lets personally attack people post because you have nothing to stand on.
What part of that 35+ contract list above shows that Kane is going to "get paid".
None.
Period!
EOD.... that's End of discussion for Posers like yourself.

He's not getting paid what you think. 6 mil is upper limit of what he'll make most likely on a 1 year deal.

Take this attitude to hockeybuzz man. It's not tolerated here.

Go talk to his family. This is where is wants to sign this offseason.

That dude’s right
Kane isn’t coming here- you’re dreaming

“Skate or die!”
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Lol
Don’t stop believing

Thanks troll
