Any interest in Evander Kane?

[TheBlackFish]

I think given how low his stock is the Flyers could kill two birds with one stone as follows:

PHI:
Evander Kane - 2 yrs/3.75 AAV (1.5M retained)
Conditional 3rd (2018)

Buffalo:
Andrew MacDonald - 4 yrs/3.5 AAV (1.5M retained)
Jordan Weal
Robert Hagg
2nd (2017)

Sabres need a LHD and AMac @ 3.5 million isn't all that bad. If Kane is problematic he would be easy to get rid of @ 3.75.

I don't love Kane, but I would take this and run.

 

[lancer247]

I would take a shot at Kane. Risk vs reward is worth it for me.

I doubt your deal gets it done.

Kane

I doubt my deal is any better. Hopefully, Kane has really fallen out of favor with BUF especially with the Okposo signing

 

[David St Hubbins]

The 2nd is too much. Drop that pick and I do it.

 

[Curufinwe]

Take out Hagg, the picks and the retention and I'd do it.

 

[dingbathero]

**** that cinder block head human and the horse he rides around.

He is a waste of space.

 

[hatcher]

Attitude or not you don't get him for free.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Oh good, we can pay to get a guy who'll be run out of town by the fans and media.

If it gets MacD's contract off our books I'm down.

No interest in Kane, but if we can get rid of MacDonald at the cost of getting Kane I would do it.

He'd probably be a good choice in the expansion draft, or failing that, bought out afterwards. Plus, moving Read and Amac clears the deck for free agency.

Like I posted above, except for the 2nd, I like it a lot.

I would be willing to do Laughton + MacD for Kane.
We lose Laughton, but at the least we gain a pretty good 2LW and we don't risk losing Laughton/Cousins in the expansion.

Without the 2nd Buffalo likely has no interest and just keeps him. Has to be something beyond depth pieces to justify moving a young proven top 6 forward, regardless of character.

That's the beauty part. He is too selfish to care what the fans and media think

I like the idea of using Laughton. If he had a good year he likely ends up in Vegas. If he has a bad year his stock plummets. He doesn't really have a role with Hakstol so the latter is more likely.

 

[Stranger Danger]

I'd do it. Don't like the idea of getting rid of Hagg +2, but I mean, he def. can play. Maybe he gets a fire lit under his butt here? Who knows, seems worth the risk, IMO.

If I were Ron Hextall I'd take that deal, especially if the flyers could get Andrew MacDonald's salary off the books. The 2nd round pick is kinda steep and losing Hagg would be bad but I'd probably still take that deal.
What's the condition on the 2018 3rd round pick going to Philadelphia

 

[healthyscratch]

.No.

What's the condition on the 2018 3rd round pick going to Philadelphia

Something tied to Kane's performance (If he scores less than 30 goals over his remaining contract). That way there is some protection for the Flyers in that they would not have given up so many pieces in return for nothing but a dumpster fire.

 

[FlyTimmo]

He is a good player and everything. If I were Hextall, I don't want that kind of player near my team.

 

[pucksandpups]

I don't want him anywhere near the Flyers, or potentially influencing our young guys. I have no problem with giving someone a fresh start if they make an immature mistake but if there's any truth to the things that multiple women now have said about him then he should be avoided like the plague.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Kane's terrible but I'd do it just to get out of MacDonald's contract earlier. I'd just expose Kane in the expansion draft who's more likely to get claimed than MacDonald.

 

[04' hockey]

W-H-Y invite that cancer into the Flyers locker room ??

He is a good player and everything. If I were Hextall, I don't want that kind of player near my team.

 

[Maurice of Orange]

The whole point of this trade would be for the Flyers to get rid of Andrew MacDonald's cap hit, although in this proposal the flyers would have to eat 1.5mil for the next 4 seasons of MacD's contract.

The bad apple is E Kane.
If this was a real trade that went down, why not just place E Kane on waivers, then if no one picks E Kane up then reassign him to the Lehigh Valley for the remainder of the year until the expansion draft.
