Evander Kane thread: would you, and for what?

[Zip15]

So, essentially, Myers + Armia + Lemieux + late-1st for Kane + Bogo. The HF Trade Value Gestapo won't like it, but it's huge risk/huge reward.

 

[bigplay41*]

Lemieux!!

 

[Jame]

Someone talk to me about Bogosian? Downgrade from Myers? As good defensively without the puck rushing ability? If he older? Contract status?

not as good as myers

 

[indigoo]

Yikes...

 

[Uberpecker]

Friedman just said Stewart/Stafford + Myers + other pieces for Kane + defenseman. Love it.

you kinda remind of Worf from Star Trek loving the food everyone else hates.

 

[Jame]

Really good player.

they could trade myers for a fart, and you'd think it was a good player

 

[larmex99]

Ok I'm curious, who here has strong opinions one way or another about Bogosian?
Lets hear them.
I honestly have not watched many Jets games over the last two years.

Great team guy. Strong , physical and a good puck mover. Probably a great 2RHD. Signed very long term to a good contract. Outdoorsy guy with his head screwed on straight. He will be loved in Buf imo.

 

[wheelklown]

Id rather just give up Staff, Armia, Lemmy and the pick for Kane than swap Myers and Bogo as part of it. Ugh.

What exactly is the huge reward?! Guy hasn't hit 60 points in his entire career. Still riding his draft status?

 

[TehDoak]

Well holy ****. Usually when this many names get out its pretty damn close

 

[ZeroPT*]

I swear to god I'm going to lose it if it's true

 

[1972]

If that's going to WPG, I would guess Buffalo is getting something else. Not overly excited about losing Armia.

He's a big, solid 2nd pairing RHD.

Good fit if they are sold on Risto being that #1 guy.

He's a 2nd pairing, 2nd PP, & 2nd PK guy with the Jets.

 

[CatsforReinhart]

Got to be Myers going the other way. Helps the tank.

At the beginning I said Hodgson and Ennis were expendable and got ridiculed. Then I said trade Myers and that should solidify last place and got jumped on and told Myers "ain't going nowhere".

lol, silly posters.

Winnipeg obviously won't give up Kane for that package and that's why Myers and Bogosian are in the mix.

Fart. Love the explosiveness. Trade him for Myers all day.

a downgrade on defense (the overall makeup of the blueline takes a hit as well)
and then Armia, Lemiuex, 1st for Kane

the good news... we increase the # of top 10 picks on the roster by 2

 

[TehDoak]

IF this deal is accurate, it really comes down to:

The Sabres have a high volume of assets and are willing to overpay.

We trade Lemieux AND Armia, we still have Compher, Fasching, Bailey, Baptiste, etc....

There's only so many roster spots.

 

[sba]

that trade is terrible....wow

 

[tsujimoto74]

Nope, not in any aspect of the game. Plus, he seems to get injured pretty often. It's not like he's old and couldn't improve, but it's a very clear downgrade.

 

[Sabre Dance]

Hate it. Murray destroyed in 1st big move.

 

[indigoo]

they could trade myers for a fart, and you'd think it was a good player

Lol, that got me

 

[Jame]

can't we just do Armia, Lemiuex, 1st for Kane?

 

[couture23]

Ugghhhh horrible news to wake up to.

 

[Revelate]

Bogosian has been a different player since he came back from the injury this year. Really putting up points. Playing more physical too IMO.
