NYR? Something around Nash for Kane?
Kane is cheaper and only has 1 year left on his deal compared to Nash's 2, if shedding $ is NYR top priority
Otherwise I'd rather just keep Kane until he gets arrested eventually, or his contract runs out, rather than take a dog**** cap dump like Stoner from ANA just to get him off the team.

Independent of a EKane trade I would love to get Pouliout in Buffalo. I think he is going to take off either next year or the one after.
Perhaps, but there is risk. Roxy Fever is still a thing, and even when he was a Giant there were rumours swirling.
That being said, yeah, if we strike out on UFAs, I could get behind Kane as a player, it would just irritate me if we spent good assets on a player who then went full self destruction on us upon returning home.
Seriously though, what's the cost going to be Sabres fans? We have to send some salary back, but we are flexible in terms of who we can send.
Then it costs Kane. Kunitz+Pouliot for Kane. I think being around Sid and the environment in Pitt could straighten him out. The best in players seems to come out in the burgh

Pretty sure the NHL is not going to like all the Evander Kane good only for Vegas vibe going around.
Buffalo will want too much for him. He's major damaged goods though, so they shouldn't expect much.

Jesus...Evander Kane can't curb his partying in cities like Winnipeg and Buffalo...Do you think he'll be able to feel his face in Manhattan? The quality of women, restaurants, party venues... It's like going from the basement of party cities to the penthouse.
If Big Buff can't get this dude to be a part of a team, who will?

Shedding cap is nice, but Gorton has said he won't sell for at 60 cents on the dollar to achieve that.
If the guy's doing this type of stuff in Winnipeg and Buffalo, I'm afraid to think of what he'd do here in New York City.

I was just praising Pouliot not talking about a trade. Take the compliment and move on.
I wouldn't take Evander Kane on the Ducks for a handshake and a smile.
I hope Bob Murray stays the hell away.
You know it's bad when a rebuilding team wants to get rid of a talented winger after a short stint.
Vegas is gonna be my 1b team. I really hope this doesn't happen. It's the absolute worst place he can be.

totally understand your second point there... I do think he can be an effective player for the Rangers though, not quite as valued as nash but he really is much cheaper. And the 1 year less on the contract term is huge
maybe Buffalo adds in a B-level prospect or pick? Or am I just reaching at nothing here lol.
either way I think we're stuck with him folks. If he can make it one more season out of handcuffs, he can still be effective for us this season, then we can let him go

If Taylor Hall could only get Adam Larsson, what makes you think Evander Kane with baggage can get a top 4 d man?

Stoner is a useful player who happens to be overpaid by half a million or so. There are much worse contracts to end up with. HF seems to have labelled him a bad player because of his cap hit, but he's exactly the type of Dman you want to insulate a young puck mover and has been a great partner for Vatanen.

I don't. I just don't see the point in moving him for a lesser winger, or a center (which we're good with), or a bottom pairing D who we could probably grab for nothing in UFA, so what are we left with. Ergo, I don't expect him to move.

Pysyk got Kulikov and he is a top 4. There is a large difference between looking for a #4 and a #2 despite that they are both top 4 D men.

You mean, LOVE LOVE LOVE to say I told you so. They bash Kane every chance they get.
It's funny, I used to really like Winnipeg and their fans. Their behavior on this board since that trade has completely changed my mind on them.
