11. Here’s what it sounds like happened with Vancouver, Buffalo and Evander Kane. There were a lot of assumptions the price would be low, that the Sabres would be so desperate to do this that the Canucks would get a steal.

Sabres GM Tim Murray made it clear that would not be the case. (Neither team would comment.)

If Murray does indeed want to get the hell out from under the Kane deal, he probably just misplayed his only chance at splitting the pot.

Kane's UFA after next season. If you wait until summer and he continues to suck you're going to be stuck with an overpaid locker room cancer for another year that you gave up a lot of assets to get, none of which you will be recuperating.

I'm so glad they walked away for a couple of reasons

- it shows that they CAN walk away. After seeing Benning dish out draft picks like they are halloween candy over the last couple of years, I was beginning to doubt that he could actually say no.
- as mentioned in article. Kane is now 5 years from his last 30 goal season, with a lot of injuries and baggage betwixt then and now. I liked him a lot as a Giant, but he's would have to be in the discount bin at this point to even consider taking that chance

It is promising for you guys that there still seems to be some logic in that office somewhere.

The Sabres though...Well, as a Leaf fan I'm happy they value Evander so highly.

 

[jstewismybastardson]

I dont think its logic at all ... I think its the way the media and fans reacted that made them stop talking and they (aquilini) got scurrrred

 

[jstewismybastardson]

Canucks path to the cup is clear

 

[jstewismybastardson]

That play by tryamkin

 

[jstewismybastardson]

Canucks extend Bhut ... 2 x 2.8 per

if they play him with Tanev when he gets healthy this will be a good number

 

[mooger_35]

We also need to get our "third line checking centre" locked up. He's currently leading the Nucks in goals scored (7) and is tied for the point lead (13).

 

[jstewismybastardson]

as Botchford had in the Provies ... Bo has more points in the calendar year 2016 than Henrik ... extrapolated over an 82 game season and hes a 55 point scorer

 

[mooger_35]

With over 2 minutes less in ice time per game and a whole lot less O-zone starts (42.6% vs 60.3%)

 

[jstewismybastardson]

and when Hansen gets back healthy, how much do you wanna bet killer b line gets 3rd line minutes from Willie again

[jstewismybastardson]

This is going well

 

[mattola]

Bye bye jake

 

[mooger_35]

Elder out 4-6 weeks... this can't be good.

Although it may finally put a nail in the trade a D for Kane rumours.
