You'd have to ask for Eichel and Girgensons at the very least and add on from there. Buffalo wouldn't do it. They've spent years getting their ducks in a row for a full-scale cost-controlled rebuild; they're not going to torpedo it all just to get Patrick Kane in his late 20s/early 30s. Western New Yorkers support the Sabres damn well without a hometown hero. Kane's not going anywhere.
HORRIBLE SPORTS THOUGHTS! jesus christ man you can't see a brilliant deal when it's literally hovering over your face teabagging you like "do you want my cookies from tonight's dinner or what?" cuz sports-thought-prison-dinner-cookies have tremendous value like that.
speaking of tremendous value, why the hell wouldn't buffalo give up the whole lot of their shit for KANERRRRRR? you're damn wrong they'd do it! he's a HOMETOWN HERO, and while that's not a big deal to a soulless swampy jetsetter like yourself, that kind of stuff MATTERS to the good people of buffalo. they haven't had a winner in, well, forever as far as i'm concerned (cuz the early 90s bills were like getting a nice attractive 7 home and getting a wee bit of the ol "sausage surprise" when you're ready to seal the deal, and if you start saying some CH-type bullshit like "when in rome...." let me tell you that i am AMERICAN and if i wanted to see some old-ass buildings i'd go watch a western. if i wanted REAL AUTHENTIC PIZZA i'd go to lou malnati's. if i wanted a romantic night in a far-off exotic land i'd go out to lakemoor cuz i hear some of the best posters on the board dreamed of going there and dammit if it's good enough for the HOF that's good enough for the rank-n-file like me)
SO AHEM. yeah buffalo can be miserable bastards like whatever equivalent of soulless-SABRmetric hockey geek you are (+/- matters, fucko!) or you can go and get a PROVEN WINNER and oh yeah did i mention a HOMETOWN HERO in the PRIME of his career with 2 and quite possibly 3 LORD STANLEY'S CUPS under his belt.... you're gonna do that every single time you ignoramus. don't tell me that buffalo wouldn't jump at the opportunity to do this because you know how certain you are the hawks are going to win every playoff series that matters in a stanley cup year? well that's because they have HOFers (you know, like that thing they do here on the board but for sports people. total ripoff IMO) like KANER on the team, and until buffalo gets at least one HOFer like KANERRRRRR they have no chance of winning a single goddamn thing. so shut your mouth with this ignorant bullshit that buffalo wouldn't JUMP at the chance to trade their whole damn team for patrick kane. the blackhawks probably have a special cellphone # set up JUST for buffalo's weekly-to-daily calls to inquire about his availability. hell they prolly send out agent provocateurs to "casually run into him" in public and ensure he gets drunk/laid/on-tmz.com's-frontpage just to run up the likelihood of a trade by creating more bad behavior that chicago's heart, soul, and moral compass dan bernstein, won't stand for. so stop being stupid and get with the program here: BUFFALO WOULD COLLECTIVELY TRADE ONE TESTICLE FROM EVERY SINGLE FRONT-OFFICE/OWNER TO GET PATRICK FREAKING "hOMETOWN HERO" KANE!
now as for the hawks trading him? i've instructed my manservant/s to shoot anyone who even suggests such a horrible fucking idea. GO HAWKS!
sincerely,
sinihead
