Would've been nice to land maroon for a third too.

Imagine
Maroon-19-8
Kane-Cooch-Hertl
LaBanc-Tierney-Donskoi
Melker/hansen/Boedker-Fehr-Goodrow

I'd rather have Meier tbh

Agreed. Meier is better defensively and Maroon has a habit of checking out of games. Maroon is slightly better offensively but Meier is the better overall player, in my opinion.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Maroon can't skate.

Randomly youtubing kane highlights -- found this from 3 years ago. Aparently Thornton is the first guy who comes into Kane's head when thinking of "players who are fun to go out with in vegas"

Holy shit I have to reset pages 3 times just to load 1 post

Which player has the third most goals scored from the 2009 draft after Tavares and Duchene?
The newest Shark, Evander Kane.
Interesting.

Really? He's no Barzal or Rantanen, after all...

 

[tahoesharksfan]

Hopefully he works out better than this site is responding to today's traffic load...

 

[Coily]

Only if he re-signs and the 19' pick is top 10 protected is this a good move.

 

[ThorNton Apologist]

I suspect Kane will be a rental but I’d like to resign him if he fits well. SJ has needed a goal scorer like him for quite some time.

I could see his returning being dependent on what the Sharks figure they can do in the FA pool. If they think they could land a splashy name (maybe not Tavares, but just for example) they can look at finiding a way to keep him.

But if they don't find themselves on the short list for the prominent names, they can let Kane walk and begin the tear-down/retool.

It's a good setup for some roster flexibility.

Havlat's number!!

Listening via radio all morning.

Consensus was DW done good. Sharks have a good "veteran" leadership group that probably can actually "keep him in line."

Buffalo had never started contract talks with Kane on new deal. Buffalo GM indicated that this was the best offer he received.

Kane had been "playing to be traded." Now he has to impress the scouts and front offices if he hopes to get a decent contract offer (or any offer).

 

[pappaf2]

I had been thinking about the leadership issue and Kane's behavior in the past. As far as I can recall neither Buffalo nor Winnipeg (when he was there) had an strong older leadership core.

 

[LA Shark]

If he doesn't resign it's a 2nd rounder and throw ins, how is that a bad move? I love the deal, and everything im hearing people think it's a steal for the Sharks.

Edit: was supposed to quote the post saying this is only a good move if we resign him and the pick is top 10 protected. Server struggling

Ryane Clowe had similar issues and that worked out.

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

Winnipeg to Buffalo to San Jose. He finally gets some place warm to live ..

Awe man I miss Ryane Clowe

Finally able to log in.

Was ready to excoriate DW over this trade, but the conditions make it a good one. At best, the Sharks lose two first-round picks but have a Cup and Kane signed-long term. At worst, the Sharks lose a 2nd and a 4th.

huh? how would be lose 2 first round picks?

IMO great move. Either we give up a 2nd and a 4th for one run with Kane, or we give up a 1st and a 4th for Kanes prime years. And good luck drafting a guy anywhere near Kanes talent level in the 20-25 range,

Ive wanted Kane since he KO'd that POS Matt Cooke.

Funny how he had no issues in Atlanta but fans in Winnipeg and Buffalo hated him..hmm wonder why. I think he'll fit right in here.

 

[hockeyball]

I wonder if this stupid site will finally let me comment...

Not thrilled as I'm not a huge Kane fan, but the value was good, and the skill set is pretty close to what we need. We just don't need the lazy "I'm more important than the team" attitude.

 

[Lebanezer]

 

[pappaf2]

What else is he going to say? We had better offers on the table we didn't take?

 

[Gecklund]

Pre-Jumbo what are our lines?

Kane-Pavelski-Meier
Hertl-Couture-Labanc
Donskoi-Tierney-Boedker
Goodrow-Fehr-Hansen/Karlsson?

Also when Jumbo comes back what are our lines?

Kane-Thornton-Pavelski
Hertl-Couture-Labanc
Meier-Tierney-Donskoi
Goodrow-Fehr-Karlsson/Hansen?

 

[pappaf2]

Timo and Kane on the same line will be punishing to play against
