Rebuilding Leafs aren't going to trade the potential of Kapanen for two years of Kane....period.

I want to dump Kane, just not to the Leafs. Too good of a player to hand off to my rival.
You're kidding, right? Does missing practice for the NBA all star game and getting suspended by the team not count? Late for practice another time, said he was sleeping in. Then, besides the rape allegation, there is all of the other aggressiveness towards female stories... The guy is a grade a jerk.

Hes mediocre at best. Hes a 20 goal scorer at this point in his career with off ice question marks.

He was on pace for 28 last season. He is a very good hockey player. If you think he's mediocre at best, you don't know what your talking about. He doesn't have off ice question marks though, he has off ice problems. Very good player, very crappy person.

I think Kane would fit on really well on a line woth Bozak-Marner, but the Leafs already have JVR who will likely fill that role.

Truly wonderful, the mind of a child is.
This is another valid point. With the new Leafs management making i clear they want to make Toronto "Safe" for players from the media, having a guy who causes as much **** as he does here for our media to make a fool of is even worse. It will put pressure on other players to answer for him and it's just another reason why he would not be a fit here.
Kane likely only has value to a small market team somewhere like Arizona where no one knows or cares who he is.

On pace does not equal getting. 20 goal scorers are found every summer on bargain contracts without the negative problems that he brings.

True, he probably would have never scored another goal if he was healthy all season. You obviously know what you are talking about.

I'm definitely not a Kane fan and hardly feel Kadri is at the same level, but is Kadri a shining example of the type of player the youngsters should follow? (granted it's only due to a couple of small incidents).

I can expand on this by saying that I don't see any deal between Toronto and buffalo that presently makes sense. Both teams have similar needs, and are in similar spots.
But that didn't stop the op from getting 4 pages out of it....

No, never said he was. Id of been perfectly fine with trading him. Im pleased his contract isnt terrible and is moveable if need be.
Further to this, Kadri had his reset button pushed by Shanahan and has appeared to react positively to it. Kane had his chance to change with the trade and has not done so. His problems are at a far greater level then Kadri's were too.

Kane isn't going anywhere unless it's Las Vegas. Too much negativity surrounding that guy to trade anything of worth to get him. Buffalo keeps him for now because he's still good enough to play middle six hockey and chip in 20+ goals a year. As for the "racist undertones" involving the money phone incident comment about Winnipeg earlier in the thread it's been discussed previously that the economy was hurting and it happened during the players strike in 2012 when the players were demanding more of a cut from the owners. Just the wrong thing to do at the wrong time, it made a lot of fans angry, not just Winnipeggers.
