See this is where things usually sideways. I could care less who the fans of each team they are, doesn't remove the suggestion.
This is my problem, Kane has legal troubles, as in he has actually been arrested and is facing charges for violence against women. This isn't his first offence in this, this year! So again I have to ask, where is his value to any NHL team acquiring him? Hell his arch-nemesis Dusty Buff almost couldn't play cross border due to less legal trouble.
Jannik Hansen adds value to a team on the ice and off, comes in at 2.5 million cap hit, scores 30-40 points a season, brings highend PK ability and is the perfect utility player to compliment skilled scorers. So what are the Sabres offering of actual value to an NHL organization on top of Kane?
If I see the kid who kept claiming Kane will bounce back like Patty Kane. Well Pat Kane has all world skill in every aspect of the game of hockey, not just skating fast in a straight line or shooting the puck hard. He also is well liked by his teammates, coaching staff, management team and team's fans. Something Evander has not had in his two stops in the NHL so far.
