Rumor: Sharks working on Evander Kane trade, will eat 50%

[2020 Cup Champions]

For the relevant Eastern teams, who has the expendable contracts to move out to accomodate his contract (even at 50%)?

Brooks saying an Eastern conference team is interested:

NHL team interested in Evander Kane trade after COVID suspension

This could be Buffalo… maybe a cap floor move

Not a chance, he was a huge part of the toxic locker room and why they shipped him out to San Jose in the first place. The Pegula's will never allow it.

 

[Seattlebjprice]

I take back my original opinion.

Now I believe there will be a bidding war for him. His prior season’s performance plus any San Jose retention makes this too good when winning now is the barometer. If somebody gets a dynamic (asshole) 30+ goal scorer for pennies on the dollar both trade and cap wise, good luck against them. I’d roll these dice.

True.. my bad

Honestly even with the baggage, I think Kane at $3.5 million is worth the gamble.

i agree someone’s gonna take the risk

 

[SI90]

I’d take him on the isles at 50% retained. Even with the years left.

 

[Mrfenn92]

It should happen easily for half he’s worth the chance

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

Kane - Aho - Teravainen

 

[93gilmour93]

If he finally decided to grow up that contract is crazy good value for a team willing to take the chance

 

[Edgelord]

Can you do double retention?
So a deal where SJ ships him to Van @50% then Van ships him to the Leafs @1.75
so the Leafs would send assets to SJ and to Van

 

[Jeune Poulet]

I could definitely see him as a reclamation project in Carolina, DeAngelo-style.

 

[Le Golie]

Just like all the interest in DeAngelo last year when he was sent home. Agents leaking* rumours is so obvious.

*Fabricating

Kane is a talented player, but he has proven to be a huge headache off the ice and does not seem to be well-liked by other players. Even with 50% salary retention, any team that trades for him needs to be extremely cognizant of what they are getting themselves into.

 

[Snippit]

He's still a very good forward for what it's worth. A team with a very strong leadership group in place should take the gamble.

 

[34]

At 50% I would take the chance with him in Toronto.

 

[Mike Jones]

If there's a deal being worked on why was he waived?

 

[Le Golie]

If there's a deal being worked on why was he waived?

His agent is working on a trade. Nobody will pick up the phone, but he’s working.

 

[Darren McCord]

If there's a deal being worked on why was he waived?

They clearly dont want him with the team. But want him to keep playing for the deal

 

[Edgelord]

At 50% I would take the chance with him in Toronto.

Is it possible to get him at 1.75??
Say send something decent to Sj and something decent to a team with a ton of cap space over the next cpl season to retain an other 50%

 

[Mike Jones]

His agent is working on a trade. Nobody will pick up the phone, but he’s working.

I get that but how does the waiver thing come in - to show who's interested?

 

[Throwback]

I'd laugh if Buffalo decides to pick him up again.

 

[Mike Jones]

They clearly dont want him with the team. But want him to keep playing for the deal

You mean to prove he can play now that the suspension is done?
