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

[canuckster19]

I'd easily trade Hansen and Sbisa for him. Hansen for value, Sbisa because Buffalo has to take some salary back, I think Sbisa would do ok in the east.

 

[GetFocht]

he is quickly becoming untouchable with this attitude coupled with his below average performance.

This may be his last contract in the NHL if he doesn't smarten up.

 

[wilson1379]

I would gladly take Despres for him straight up. No doubt.

 

[Cupless44]

Doesn't fit Benning's obsession with "good character guys."

You know what, part of me would rather take a chance on turning Kane around then sign an aging power forward to a bloated contract with crippling term.

 

[jdpitt05]

What is Buffalo's interest in Fleury as insurance policy/vet presence to go with Lehner? Also Pouliout as puck mover and PPQB?

 

[Bigleaf]

No team will trade for him. He is getting claimed by Vegas in the expansion draft

 

[SeriousHabs]

Rumors about Evander Kane = 100% true

Speculation that Subban may have some off ice issues with the team = SMEAR CAMPAIGN

 

[Phil68]

Evender Kane For Kunitz and 3round pick in 2017. Or Kane plus a second round pick for Fleury

 

[SenzZen]

Ok, carry on with the bashing- if you must...

 

[CaptPantalones]

I don't buy it after we didn't land stamkos..had we landed him, maybe

 

[IslesNorway]

Kane's value is dropping fast. They're probably looking to recoup something before he is worthless

 

[Cogburn]

I'd easily trade Hansen and Sbisa for him. Hansen for value, Sbisa because Buffalo has to take some salary back, I think Sbisa would do ok in the east.

I see Hansen as being a solid complement to Kane, so I'd rather swap Hansen for Dorsett and add other value.

I think the world of Kane's talents, but this is the second organization running him out of town. Looking at the buyouts that have happened this season, that is very pricey if things go south. The money and cap hit aren't my biggest concern, it's giving up assets for a player for two years who may have this fanbases turn him into a scapegoat and drive him to further misbehaviour.

 

[Burnt Biscuits]

I could sadly see the Oilers taking a chance on the guy.

We took on Kassian, so why not Kane...

I think their is a limit on how many project players you can take on at a time, also it's a bit insensitive to Kassian he's in a good place right now, but he hasn't been on the right side of the wagon for very long, don't need to go out of our way to add a partier + heavy drinker onto the club. I also think we are a bit lacking in terms of veteran leadership to put Kane in his proper place.

\Buffalo should just wait till after Lucic and Ladd are picked up off free agency, they should get a decent return from one of the teams that missed out.

For the record even despite Kane's most recent legal issues, I still think he'd return more than Yak in a trade.

 

[Sabresfansince1980]

- I hated the Kane/Myers trade from the start, because Kane is not the top scoring W he was once thought to be
- Buffalo didn't get screwed though because Myers=Bogo, Stafford was leaving anyway, Armia isn't good, talk was Lemieux didn't want to sign in Buf.
- Kane has continued to make news for stupid things, but he has been fine with the team.
- He's still good on the ice as a possession, checking W with some scoring ability, not a cap dump.

I'd take Fowler and Stoner for Kane and maybe a 3rd or so. Brodin for Kane and Guhle maybe.

 

[GJB]

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

Why would it be Yakupov plus(+) ?

 

[Donuts]

Sbisa is best offer

 

[BlueDream]

That's racist.

People only think he's a punk because of his skin color!!!

Ah I loved those arguments on here.

 

[KGL]

Not surprising. Dude is an idiot.

Anaheim could be a fit. Good group of vets there + they could use him on the LW with Getzlaf and Perry.

I can't imagine getting great value for him.

Yakupov maybe? Espeically if Lucic skips out on Edmonton. one headache for another.

Hell no, first Yak is not a headache and second Kane is a full blown tumor at this point.

 

[paine]

Bieska for Kane

 

[Raym11]

he's gonna go to calgary

 

[Deevo]

Evander was actually really good when he was healthy last year. I'm definitely not itching for the Sabres to trade him, but it'd be cool to get a good LHD in return if possible.

 

[smackdaddy]

Ok, carry on with the bashing- if you must...

Maybe he can continue his career as a boxer once he's done in the NHL.

 

[Deedog]

Bogosian is better than Myers. Armia is garbage. Buffalo fans had enough of Stafford and he wasn't coming back. Lemieux and the pick are the only pieces the Sabres really lost.

Yeah. Ok. Armia and the first will turn out better than kane on their own.

I don't know, he said he would love to play in Vancouver, maybe his issues will die down if he comes home.
