There were rumors out there that the lightning showed interest in evander Kane today. Would you want him on the lightning ? If yes what would you give up for him if you are steve yzerman ?

Not at the price WPG was asking as of a month or two ago.
If you trade them Killorn and Connolly and then dump brewer to another team! The math works then.We would have to move some salary to fit him under the cap. If we did get him he would probably play on Stamkos' wing but I'm not sure who we would move to get him that would meet what Winnipeg wants.
Don't they dislike him in Winnipeg? I'm sure there's a reason for that.
Pass on him. We have enough as it is to where we don't have to make this move. If you wanna give us Toby Enstrom that's a different story.

They have not been able to make the playoffs and a lot of them blame Kane. Canada fans can run there star players out of town. But as a locker room guy with Kane I don't know? I have heard rumors he is a bad locker room guy. But him coming to tampa he does not have to be a leader just needs to fit in.
The problem with that is we'd be all in on Barberio as a #6 this year, meaning, if he struggles? Too bad. You're stuck with him. Brewer as a bottom pairing guy is pretty much perfect. I would only move Brewer if we had 2-3 options to gamble on.
Moving Killorn is acceptable, but there's risk there too, because it could take us back a step in terms of grit. Killorn's value is versatility. He's great as a third line guy but a solid option for scoring line duty if the need arises. I'd still be willing to involve him in a trade for Kane, but we could miss him more than we realize.
You're forgetting Sustr.
Sustr-Gudas
Barberio
Or slide garrison to the left and have 3 lhd and rhd right where they should be.
I wonder about yzerman maybe the sharks want evander Kane! Maybe he trades for Kane then flips him for Patrick marleau ?
Isn't Garrison generally thought to be better on the right though?
He'll play the right side for us.
And the contract is going to look pretty sweet after Tuesday. 4.6 for a top four is going to be excellent.
He looked much more comfortable on the left side for us, so I'm not sure playing him on the right is the best idea.
Flipper and carle would not want to go to Winnipeg no one does. Great hockey town but do players want to live there ? So you would have to flip carle or brewer to another team. Next year are only big resigning is bishop the rest are Rfa tenders. Cap will go up to 74 or 75 I'd bet.Funny you should mention that. From the trade thread on our boards about the Garrison deal...
Not to say that one canuck fan is the end all be all on what Garrison can do. I do think Garrison was brought in to be a top 4 defenseman on the right side of Hedman or Carle and shifting him to the left puts us right back where we were before getting Stralman, needing to have Sustr or Gudas in the top4. Garrison has experience playing right side, and probably prefers being on the right when shooting (wider angles on net), but, typically the preference of having defensemen playing the side of their handedness is because it makes playing D (which IS their primary responsibility) easier.
I don't think Yzerman looks to move Brewer, he's probably already earmarked that expiring deal to covering re-signings next offseason. If he was going after Kane I would have to think Flip or Carle were the salary aspects going the other way. I don't think Winnepeg would want Carle+ for Kane, and I don't think there is a fan among us that wants to trade Flip+ for Kane.
Kane does seem to fit the mold of a Jon Cooper type of player though.
