This is the story Evander has been just chomping at the bit to tell and FINALLY he can! lol...Finally he can come right out and say it! "Yes! I hated Winnipeg and wanted out of that pissant burg asap!"
I wonder what he would say if asked what his favorite place in Buffalo is? Hopefully the answer wouldn't be "my apartment."

I really liked Kane as a player on the ice for the Jets.
I don't really care that much about his attitude off the ice.
The Jets are a better team and franchise since trading him to Buffalo.

Someone said it succinctly on the main board:
It took not Kane, nor his agent, to force a trade out of a city. It took his teammates acting out against him to force a trade. That says something.

Kane strikes me as the type of person who feels he never does anything wrong. Anything bad that happens to him is someone else's fault. Good luck in your career Evander.

What a tool. So glad that prima donna is gone. Lets recap:
To Buffalo:
Kane: 1 goal 2 assists (injured)
Bogosian: 0 goals 0 assists (injured)
Kasdorf: NCAA
To Winnipeg:
Stafford: 5 goals 2 assists
Myers: 0 goals 2 assists
Lemieux: OHL
Armia: AHL Moose
Roslovic: NCAA
Let's face it. Kasdorf is never going to be an NHL starter. He's 23 and has one good season. Armia could still make the Jets lineup. Lemieux will be a bottom 6 forward, and Roslovic has the potential to be a top 6 forward.

The fact that he has to resort to complaining about Maurice not lauding him for playing hurt and playing the race card speaks to how weak of a person he truly is. Why is he still *****ing about Winnipeg? Shouldn't he be focused on his new team?

Dragging Winnipeg is his claim to fame. there is a likelihood that kane peaked while in the peg and will continue to regress OR remain stagnant-still not surpassing what he did with you. shame. maybe when he is past his prime he will see that. chevy was on an interview not too long ago-i cant remember when-and he spoke so highly of evander. it really shocked me to hear him say that they were proud of him having been a part of the organization. he didnt really hold much back (for chevy anyway) lol so he did not have to say that last part. i dont understand what is left to be proved. you have a new city and a guy named Eichel-one could argue a bigger and better opportunity. Im genuinely flummoxed.

More about what kind of Person Kane is. Chevy saw his value to the club and the hope was he was going to pull his head out of his ass and help out with the long term goal...but that didn't happen. So when the right deal came along, Kane was on the next flight out of town.

Yup. We got the better part of that deal by a mile. We are better today, with Myers and Stafford over Kane and Bogo. And will likely be far better in the future if even one of Lemieux, Armia or Roslovic pans out. And best of all Kane is now Buffalo's problem. How long is Kane going to be happy 3rd or 4th fiddle on the Sabres?
Ya , i would like to see ANY OTHER GM try and make as good of a trade as Chevy did , ANY !!!!! Chevy won that trade even if he got NOTHING back , just getting rid of the locker room cancer made the Jets a better team ..... can you imagine what Ehlers , Petan , and Copp would have been seeing and listening to this year if that overrated gum ball was still here ?

I dont disagree with you, IMO the trade should of happened much sooner......we will never know 100% but I don't think it's a stretch to believe we got less value when he was traded vs 1-2 years before.
Oh well people make mistakes, life goes on. Chevy hopefully learns by his mistakes so he doesn't repeat them.
I hope Kane heals up and has a good career in the NHL.
IMO the whole Kane situation, how it was mishandled, track suit in shower, etc......has been a small black mark on this organization that I would sooner forget.
As a player he began to strike me as someone who would work only on a third line with players not particularly skilled. He worked well with people who could clean up any garbage he left and screen the goaltender for him. Players who didn't necessarily need the puck.
Actually it was pretty impressive how Chevy handled the Kane situation. Once Kane signed his long term deal, Chevy had all the leverage. Kane was likely told to go and prove himself so he could move him. Chevy then got 2 1/2 years of the best Kane could bring. Not overly impressive but he helped the team. Then when everything blows up taking advantage of a team that placed more value on him injured rather than healthy to maximize his return. Getting more than could be reasonably expected. In the process the Jets became even tighter and had a really nice stretch run to make the playoffs. Good work.
Says a lot about Chevy. Kane alone would have fetched us a blue chipper had he been moved earlier. Same with Bogosian, probably could have fetched Eberle, Draisaitl, their 7th pick in 2013 (Domi) or Yakupov from Edmonton as a centerpiece.
He traded two top 5 picks under 25 years of age and received only one core player in return (Myers), plus a couple of scratch lottery tickets. Almost ready to write off Armia, Lemieux's a 4th liner.... and Roslovic? Well, I'd rather have seen us pick Sprong or Beauvillier at #25.

So Evander claims in the THN article the organization never had his back when all the rumours were swerling about skipping out on restaurant bills,etc and I think it was Hank who on the main board linked an article from the Free Press (2012) where Evander himself actually said how much the organization, Mark Chipman, his teammates indeed had his back during that time.
What an absolute ******* he is.
What an absolute ******* he is.
Kane ended up being an anchor in Winnipeg. Good he got what he wanted and we got what he wanted.
