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

[Yatzhee]

Alright I'll bite. What's the asking price for Kane?

Can't be much

 

[Mattilaus]

Great logic. 'The Kane trade was so bad -- we finished last and got Eichel -- therefore we won the trade.'

He literally said directly in the post you quoted that the Sabres may have come out on the losing end of the trade.

Like he literally put exactly that in the last line.

 

[gallagt01]

The Kane trade was not bad for Buffalo on the ice.

Off the ice, yeah.

 

[Gamimenos]

Montreal.

Ok, but not a penny more than Galchenyuk.

 

[Bfreezy40]

Montreal.

Lol he'd be joining in the riots i keep hearing about that are gonna go down this weekend outside the bell centre!

 

[RobRayzor]

...guy is going run out of places, KHL soon....

He already played there in Belarus "Dinamo Minsk" team during last NHL lockout, he was terrible there on score sheet and a lot of people hated him.
Swiss league seems more realistic.

Ya I'd imagine the asking price is pretty much whoever wants him... him being off the team is good enough with all these unreal young kids on the team... addition by subtraction

 

[is the answer jesus]

Man I really hope we don't jettison him for pennies on the dollar. I don't think he's a great role model or even a very good person, but a lot of his personal crap gets overblown. We'd definitely miss his speed, forechecking, and physicality.

 

[Yatzhee]

Cancer here! Get your cancer here!

Literally my after work beam and coke went through my nostrils
Epic, and thank you, that post is an instant classic

 

[Love]

Hansen + Sbisa + pick

I agree. It was very noticeable that we were missing it when he was injured this year.

Agreed. Myers for Bogosian is pretty close to a wash, the rest was a grab bag that may yield some nice returns for Winnipeg. Kane on the ice has been pretty good for us, problem is some people were expecting a 35 goal power forward.

 

[IHaveNoCreativity]

He needs to go into a good situation.

Exactly, and..........women in this region would rejoice, pepper spray, pistol and taser sales would take a hit though

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

I honestly can't think of any good situations for him

 

[WeDislikeEich]

That's an interesting spin on things. You may well have got Eichel regardless of that trade.

We finished 3 points ahead of Arizona. So one more win and an overtime loss and no Jack Eichel. There were sooo many close games down the last stretch of the season where a goal either way decides it. Remember Kane was injured and out for the year. So you replace Bogosian with Stafford (playing in a contract year) and a much more offensively skilled Tyler Myers back in the lineup, with some possible Joel Armia call ups and I truly believe Buffalo finishes ahead of Arizona.

 

[VanJack]

I could see him coming back home to Vancouver to resurrect his fading career, but just don't think the Canucks have any assets that would be of interest to the Sabres....there's no way even Benning would trade a guy like Hansen, a character guy on a bargain contract in any package for Kane. and they can't afford draft picks....but who knows, if Subban, Weber and Hall can get traded, anything is possible.

 

[Thorton02]

Meh, I'd rather keep Kane.

 

[LeafFever]

His value is so low, why bother?

Does Buffalo have the cap space?

 

[PemIceKing]

Someone will bite on this POS. They shouldn't, but they will.

Montreal?? Haha!

He was a mess in vancouver playing junior and making a couple hundred bucks a month... can't imagine how he would be in vancouver making a couple hundred thousand every 2 weeks

Hahaha.......that is the funniest thread I have read today. No comment really. Just funny as hell.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Kane has a bad rep. He is not going to get straight up hockey value.

I would not trade for him unless it was a real bargain

 

[The Wizz]

Myers, Stafford, Armia, Lemieux, Roslovic....

As a Sabres fan, only piece I miss is Lemieux. Myers and Stafford are career underperformers. You'll find out soon enough.
