TSN: Evander Kane Trade may include prospects instead of picks.

[Yatzhee]

The Flyers are the team that intrigue me the most. They have the ammo to pull off a larger deal that could help both clubs.
Hard to say though. Any Flyers fans want to chime in on whether the team is looking to make a serious push this season into the playoffs?
And if so, what needs are to be addressed to do so? Thanks

I don't see the Flyers offering very much for Kane honestly.

Lindblom has been recalled since Simmonds got hurt and has fit in really well on the 2nd line with Patrick and Voracek. So Simmonds could be on the 3rd line once he comes back.

Weal Laughton Simmonds
Raffl Filppula Weise/Lehtera

Kane would help in pushing Weal off the 3rd line and Weise and Lehtera off the 4th line. But Philly is not a contender. Hextall has said he won't spend young assets and picks on rentals. I don't see Kane being an option especially at the price being reported. Flyers fans don't want Simmonds re-signed given he will be a 3rd liner, Kane should be no different.

A smaller deal trading for Girgensons I think could be much more likely.

 

[Yatzhee]

Well, the Nash deal sets the tone now. When Buffalo moves Kane, you can take it to the bank a 1st is coming back.

I’m not too sure but the Nash deal got my hopes up a little bit.

Yeah, I would agree that now is not the time for Hextall to push for this type of deal. It is too soon. Girgensens would be a nice pick up.

Sure, but whats added to the 1st?

Boston was in a position to overpay a bit since theyre quality contenders and have a deep prospect pool, that cant be said for every team.

I think it'll land somewhere between the Grabs & Nash deals. could still end up just a 2nd + A prospect vs late 1st + B prospect. Retaining 50% will help squeeze some more hopefully.

 

[Yatzhee]

The arms race is in full swing now. Don't be surprised if multiple Sabres are dealt.

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

Anaheim or Dallas. Columbus is my darkhorse.

I just want to see the Jets beat whatever team he ends up on.

This absolutely needs to happen. I don't just want a Kane/Gorges deal and break for summer.

 

[north49er]

Hardly any of us expects a 1st round pick the way the market has turned. Too many sellers and way too many good non-rentals
available.

If 33 year old Rick Nash gets a 1st, Evander gets ?

I just want a 1st and/or a good prospect so whoever has those things...

If not for a rental, any interest in Pacioretty?

You’re quoting a very old post.

Boston overpayed for Nash. I don’t think we’ll get a similar return. Conditional first or
a decent prospect would be ok in my book.

Kane's biggest issue is his reputation.

Boston rather paid that to Nash than Kane, expect less for Kane than what Nash brought back.

Will the real Evander Kane please stand up? I repeat, will the real Evander Kane please stand up?

Y’all act like you never been traded before
Jaws all on the floor like Jason just busted through the door
And started telling you gtfo cus you’re not a Sabre no more…

It’s the return of the ah, wait, no way, you’re kidding
He didn’t just trade me to Arizona, did he?
And Jason Botteril said…”no you idiot,
I traded you to the Blues for some picks and Klim Ksotin!”

Let's say Columbus is able to trade Jack Johnson for a 1st rounder (a team like Winnipeg may have some interest, for example)...

Would Buffalo be interested in a deal around Gabriel Carlsson + Matt Calvert + 1st Round Pick acquired in JJ deal for Evander Kane?

My thinking is that is pretty similar to the deal that the Rangers accepted in the Rick Nash deal (A-level D prospect, 1st rounder, short term cap dump).

 

[Yatzhee]

You just know the price on Kane is going up by the hour lol
Botterill should get a satisfactory return. He has one hell of a job trying to build a team out around Jack and fill the pipeline.

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

I'd get a kick out of him in Columbus because Tortorella would be his coach.
