Bucci says Quinn is the guy as he’s told BU’s AD of his decision to take the job. Contract is 5 years, $12 million.Sounds like BU’s head coach David Quinn is headed to NYR.
I second this. Not in love with Dave Quinn as a coach. Has massively underachieved with what he had for talent at BU. Has had so many first and second round picks and only 1 Frozen Four.I feel like he’s a better recruiter than a coach, which isn’t really transferable to the NHL. His results are underwhelming given the talent he has had.
Huge move for them. He reportedly met with Tavares in the last couple of days.Lou Lamoriello is taking over hockey ops for the Islanders.
Re-signing Kane means that the conditional 2019 draft pick going back to the Sabres will be a first rounder.
Hearing the Sharks and Evander Kane have agreed to a long-term contract extension. Numbers may be in the 7-years 7-million per range.
7x7? Wow, is the condition that if they didn’t re-sign him that they owned additional first round pick to Buffalo?Re-signing Kane means that the conditional 2019 draft pick going back to the Sabres will be a first rounder.
We are mostly agreeing but... He scored 30 goals once, 6 years ago. Averages closer to 20 goals per year. His best season ever was 57 points.Came here to post the same tweet and wonder if this makes Sweeney look even better for the Marchand & Pastrnak deals? I laughed when I saw 7x7. Kane is talented, but...his behavior...
From what I understand, The trade was Kane for a 2020 fourth rounder, a prospect, and most importantly a conditional 2019 draft pick. If he walked in free agency this year, the Sabres would get a 2019 2nd. If he re-signed with the Sharks, the pick becomes a first rounder. Sabres did pretty well for a half season of Kane.7x7?

Amazing, not sure anyone would have beat that offer ignoring the draft pick. But it shows how the Riley Nash market should be at least 4/yr and 5/yr isn’t impossible. Kane is the much wanted and rarely available power forward but he comes with baggage and is a 25 goal, 50 point player.
I agree! I’m shocked the Sharks would give a pretty significant asset to sign THAT contract. It’d be like the Bruins adding a second round pick to sign Rick Nash to a, for example, 5/25 or 3/18 type contract. Bad enough on their own, but just crazy to offer an asset to do it.From what I understand, The trade was Kane for a 2020 fourth rounder, a prospect, and most importantly a conditional 2019 draft pick.
