Rumor: Laraque: "Sabres looking to trade Evander Kane"

[Beerz]

Lemieux wasn't interested in signing in Buffalo anyway.

False.

 

[t800rad]

False.

His agent said otherwise.

[EP to Kuzmenko]

you're insane my friend........


Kane's value hasn't become nothing, he's still a Top 6 Winger who puts up 20 goals.
Regardless of his off-ice problems, which hasn't actually had him convicted of anything, he is still worth more than a 2nd rounder

Kane is the best player involved, and we are taking a cap dump in Burrows

Kane is 26 vs Hansen is 30, cheaper but brings less to the game, isn't Kane in terms of physicality

Burrows is a cap dump

The 2017 2nd is for the cap dump, the 2018 3rd is the difference between Kane and Hansen

Good luck with trading him. Van will laugh as we walk away with what your asking.

If he was on waivers tomorrow, I wouldn't even think of putting a claim in. Guy is poison, and not even a terribly good player.

 

[Adam Spylo]

Kane for Desharnais straight up.

 

[nickk382]

This kid just seems like bad news. His trade value has obviously dropped tremendously if the Sabres already want him gone. They're obviously in a rebuild mode and he is at an age that fits the needed role in order to do that.

Sabres will have a hard time getting something solid in return for him now.

 

[Lindberg Cheese]

Oilers might give back RNH based on current internal evaluations...

 

[Whileee]

Wow, you do know he's 30


What about

Kane

for

2017 2nd
2018 3rd
Burrows
Hansen

You'd be getting cap relief as well as a strong player.

Kane is a UFA in two years.

I think you're onto something!

If Taylor Hall fetched Adam Larsson, trading Evander Kane should net Buffalo a puck. Not a bag of pucks, one puck. Singular. Only question is whether it's a NHL regulation puck or one of those plastic orange discs

Can I get you down to half a puck?

 

[ManofSteel55]

Yakupov + for Kane is a deal I think many could live with, could maybe end the suffering for Edmonton and Buffalo.

I would rather keep Yak

 

[Bankerguy]

Add in your 2017 1st and 2018 1st. Kane's value has dropped significantly. a single 2017 2nd would be enough for him, maybe even less.

Hahahaha 2 firsts for kane?? Posts like that are embaressing

not for kane. Kane + 2 1sts for the package from Van he wanted.

Evander Kane is the Johnny Manziel of the NHL.... I'm not touching him with a stick and cleaning gloves....

 

[InfinityIggy]

My thoughts as well. Wouldn't want this guy on my team.

Except Kane is actually good at Hockey...where as Johnny Football isnt very good at his sport.

 

[billybudd]

I love the way Kane plays, but he's been banged up the last little while and has now been involved in 3 criminal investigations in the last year. He'd need to have 2 healthy, productive, drama free seasons in a row before anyone would offer anything but garbage for him.

 

[Seras]

Wouldn't mind to see him go but if he plays for Buffalo he will probably perform better than what they'll get for him.

Getting rid of him could be pretty nice though. Guy is just an absolute idiot which is so unfortunate given the tools he has at his disposal.

You guys got a lot of kids. Even if he performs on the ice what he does off the ice is seen by his Teammates.

Rebuild is over, the owner himself stated time to start winning. Just tweaks to the roster now.

 

[SoFFacet]

Smells like unsubstantiated second-hand account meant to provoke a feeding frenzy. There's no reason for TM to tell some random agent that he's trading Kane. Unfortunately Kane has put himself in a situation where almost anything said about him seems at least semi-plausible.

 

[aemoreira1981]

I wouldn't be surprised to see the league reject a trade for Kane, given that there are questions about whether or not he would be damaged goods (i.e., playing status because of legal issues).

 

[Saitama]

I'm still holding out hope that he can stay with the Sabres and become a contributing part of the good-looking team they've got assembled. I'd be quite happy if it turned out to be an even trade and the Sabres look like a fun team to watch.

Depends what you mean by "good". The list of players in the NHL who could put up 35 points playing 21 min/game is very long.

 

[Warden of the North]

Hes overrated, overpayed, and increasingly looking like a headache to the organization he plays for.

No thanks.
