Proposal: Evander Kane to Ottawa

[Flyerfan52]

He probably just needs a hug to put him on the straight & narrow. There happens to be a guy living in a big house in Ottawa that can provide that.

 

[BurgoShark]

Off ice issues aside, a healthy MacArthur is as good as Kane and a bit cheaper. Other than Kane's 30 goal season in 2011-12 their stats are comparable and MacArthur brings a lot more than just goal scoring.

 

[Brock Radunske]

As poor value as Ottawa offers in the OP, they still lose. Kane is poison and doesn't even have the game to back it up. Remember, Kulemin scored 30 once, too.

 

[Real Smart Sens Fan]

Since the start of the 2013-2014 season, MacArthur has scored at 52pts/82 games. Kane has scored at 49pts/82games since then.

Macarthur has scored at 23g/82 games. Kane has scored at 24g/82 games.

MacArthur is a great guy, a leader in the dressing room, and signed to a cheaper contract. Kane is.... none of those things.

The Fans, The Ottawa Sens, his team mates, and the nation of Canada had absolutely no problem with Danny Heatley. He was a all-world POS, and you're telling me that Ottawa wouldn't welcome E. Kane? Give me a ******* break.

A ton of folks had problems with Heatley.


I don't want Kane in Ottawa. Buffalo can keep him.

Wait, how was Heatley a POS in Ottawa or in SJS for that matter? Guy was relatively introverted. Just demanded a trade out of Ottawa and handcuffed the team for reasons we still dont'really understand.

Sounds like you have no idea what you are talking about.

Who would have guessed cancer comes at a premium?

Shouldn't be surprising. Look how much cigarettes cost!

 

[Uchiha]

With that contract? Hell no.

Pls.

As a huge Heatley hater, what did Heatley do to deserve any bad reputation prior to coming to Ottawa?

I believe the answer is nothing.

This.

Wouldn't accept Kane for free. No way I'd trade Mac for him.

 

[Boud]

Give up MacArthur for Kane? No thanks..

 

[ThirdManIn]

What mistake?! You talk about him as though he doesn't exist on the ice. He's scored 30 goals before in his career. Why would OTT refuse that?! Some GM's actually ignore minor personal issues in order to win games. This is got to be a important thing for OTT's constant "win now" attitude.

Once. 5 years ago. Since then he has been involved in numerous off-ice issues which range from pissing off his teammates to being arrested. He is currently involved in a lawsuit filed by a woman who claims he caused "bodily injury including lacerations, extensive bleeding requiring multiple surgeries and blood transfusions, and serious emotional trauma.†At the moment it seems more likely that he will be involved in a court battle than he will score 30 goals.

That said, he could definitely continue to be a 20 goal winger with a physical presence. If a team is in need of a second line goal-scoring winger and doesn't particularly care about the legal issues then they could offer up something for him. It won't be Ottawa, and it won't be a big offer. His ability is that of a second liner (though not if you need a playmaker), but his baggage drops his value below his ability.

Right now I think Buffalo keeps him because they want to. If anything else comes up I think they keep him because they have to, but if it is severe enough they will just suspend him, or worse.

Oh. Nevermind. Now I get it.

I said Buffalo would want more, didnt say they would get it.

What do you get?

 

[trentmccleary]

Evander Kane isn't good enough to offset his issues. Do not want!

Well, there's that whole Dan Snyder thing.

 

[ThirdManIn]

What do you get?

That you aren't really basing your opinion on anything that makes sense.

 

[Phil McKraken]

The Sabres right now are like Larry David and Evander Kane is the disgusting fifty dollar bill the Jets had in their shoe.

 

[ForSpareParts*]

That you aren't really basing your opinion on anything that makes sense.

Kane could put a stop to all this Twitter nonsense tomorrow. A fresh start in Ottawa, ON might be the exact thing he needs to start over.

He's 25 and fresh off of scoring 20 goals on a bad team. He sure could help The Sens, but the risk has to be there. Why not go for it? Ottawa has been a win now organization for the last few seasons. E. Kane helps put them over the top.

No one here is open enough to shake gossip and innuendo. Just forget it and accept E. Kane.

 

[Sureves]

Well, there's that whole Dan Snyder thing.

And by that you mean what?

"In late September 2003, Heatley drove his Ferrari approximately 130 km/h down a narrow, two-lane Atlanta road when he spun out of control and smashed into a brick and wrought-iron fence."

I mean it was the biggest mistake of his life and a stupid thing to do, but this is hardly anything similar to the way Kane conducts himself in his personal life and with his teammates (at least in Winnipeg).

Again I hate Heatley and think demanding a trade and then using your NMC to avoid going to specifics teams is nothing short of disgusting, but there was absolutely nothing wrong with Heatley before he came to Ottawa.

Almost total confusion.

So killing someone is ok (as long as you admit it was a big mistake) but what E. Kane does is somehow worse?

Wow you really going there... how is Dany Heatley even remotely comparable.. Why do you say he was an all world POS. Because of the very unfortunate accident with Snyder ?

Evander Kane couldn't carry Heatley's jock strap.

This really says more about you than anything... Grow up
