Proposal: MAF for E. Kane

[Toby Flenderson]

Pitt gets a skilled top 6 winger, though he carries some baggage. A lot of pens fans say they don't want Kane's problems, but he's still good and Pitt has to lose fleury one way or the other this season

Buffalo rolls with a 1A and 1B with fleury and lehner. IMO Buffalo has a solid team and fleury can help them make a playoff push, and at least provide insurance until lehner proves he can be a legit #1 goalie.

Buffalo doesn't have enough good left wingers to trade Kane for a goalie.

Pretty sure that with what Buffalo paid to get Robin Lehner, I doubt that Tim Murray has any interest in MAF right now.

Buffalo would have absolutely no interest in MAF. They have their goalie and this trade make less than zero sense for them.

Nailed it

 

[AINEC*]

They picked up Lehner just over a year ago, I don't see why Buffalo considers this.

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

Kane is the antithesis of everything that made the Pens work last year.

No dice. For either team.

 

[Zirakzigil]

Don't care to do it from the Pens side. Value might be there for both, but trading a guy who's loved by his teammates for one with huge character issues is not something I want to do.

This.

Even though I still believe that Buffalo is lying to themselves if they think Lehner is going to take them anywhere but Penguins absolutely do not need Kane.

As Sabres fan, this is the worst. No way Pens accept this. not even close. On top of that as others have said we do not need another goalie.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

No from both sides. No need for MAF in Buffalo and absolutely no need or desire for Kane in Pittsburgh.

They have a goalie.

MAF is of no interest to Buffalo, obviously; but Buffalo sure does not have a current or future #1

Many believe they do have their #1 But we will not know that until they can build their team in front of him. He looked good when he has played and will only look better as the defense gets built MAF does not meet the age to be a #1 for Buffalo. Funny how so many people want to write of players that are still developing their games..... The joys of HF.

That's just, like, your opinion, man. I guarantee you GMTM didn't trade a first for Lehner a year ago planning on him being a backup

Bingo. They're not going to trade for Fleury to lose Lehner in a year to Vegas.

I appreciate your honesty, at this point, can you put a realistic value on Kane for me?

 

[Bfreezy40]

We can just wait for him to hit the open market!

 

[Mattilaus]

Right now? With the legal troubles? Very low. So low it doesn't make sense for Buffalo to move him at this point. Better to keep him and hope he can salvage some of his image.

Yeah well... I like how Buffalo is shaping up but I'm really not sold on Lehner yet. He's only a potential #1 so far. And with how last season started, should we question his durability? Especially considering who his backups are. With Chad Johnson still around, they could feel safer. Time will tell, I guess.

 

[Djp]

Value isn't there from Buffalos side...they acquired Lehner. They have no interest in MAF.

No teams need goalies right now. In the salon, things don't pan out or goalie gets injured then there is demand.

Remember Lehner also is team controlled for 3 more seasons. He stays healthy he plays very good.

Umm ...Chad Johnson isn't around. He is in Calgary. They acquire Nillsson as their backup with Ullmark as call up.

 

[sunnyvale]

Fleury >> Lehner. Let's all be real now. But the question is who would even want to deal with Kane

 

[is the answer jesus]

Fleury >> Lehner. Let's all be real now. But the question is who would even want to deal with Kane

In a bubble sure Fleury> Lehner at this point, but given age and contract I'd rather have Lehner.

 

[OilerPensfan97]

Kane is trouble. No thanks.

 

[Zen Arcade]

I don't want Kane's baggage, but I also don't think Buffalo needs another goalie. I'm probably higher on Lehner than most, but I think he's going to put it all together here soon.

Umm... Yes, I know. What I said is ''With Chad Johnson still around, they could feel safer.'' Emphasis being on ''could'', implying that Johnson is no longer around and so forth...
