The Buffalo Sabres drafted well. The Buffalo Sabres re-signed defensemen Casey Nelson and Jake McCabe. Hell, the Buffalo Sabres just signed 60+ point-scorer Kyle Okposo to a 7-year, $42 million dollar salary, putting the team on the path to the playoffs.
So why can’t we all just be excited about the future of professional hockey in the 716?
Because of Evander Freaking Kane, that’s why.
And there’s not a damn thing Sabres GM Tim Murray can really do about it.
Kane’s digressions are public knowledge – hell, you think the Winnipeg Jets bailed on a former 30-goal scorer who was still under the age of 25 just to be charitable?
