Rumor: In-season Proposals, Rumors, Free Agents & Roster Moves (related topics) LXXIV

Detroit would probably be as good of place as any. Send Darren Helm, a Winnipeg boy, and some extras back to the Jets.

Detroit, Pittsburgh, Chicago, Anaheim... those types would all be good IMO.

do you think babcock would tolerate **** like that?

 

[henchman21]

do you think babcock would tolerate **** like that?

He wouldn't from either Buff or Kane's side. Their lockerroom would be a good as any to keep him in line.

 

[Freudian]

I could see him do well in Anaheim. Great city to live in for a young millionaire, anonymity and zero media pressure. Strong leadership too.

 

[bohlmeister]

do you think babcock would tolerate **** like that?

No. That is why it would be a great spot for him.

 

[Foppa2118]

Wow he finally picked up his phone and told them he wouldn't play? The kid has more growing up to do than I thought. He's approaching Sean Avery territory with this sort of ego.

This might be the best thing for the Avs and other teams chasing a playoff spot. The longer this distraction continues the better.

The only reason it wouldn't end today is that Kevin Cheveldayoff is a terrible GM. Hands are tied now, he might finally be forced to move an asset.

i would be shocked if they get good return. the guy is injured, rumored to be something that needs surgery, hasn't been playing well and now all this. they are gonna lose that trade so bad.

i gotta admit, though, i love the drama.

 

[tigervixxxen]

I guess they don't have to, he has term on the contract. Just LTIR him the rest of the season and hope for better next year.

Skipping a game is beyond unprofessional and there should be a consequence for that. But I'm sorry it's not cool for teammates to embarrass him so bad he couldn't show his face until they went home.

bobby mac on the situation.

I think that is what happens. Shut him down and try in the summer. Though I don't think that will change the value they receive all that much.

There are always egos with GMs who think it won't happen to them, so somebody will still pay up. Maybe not fair value, but the return won't be something like Geertsen + 3rd. It will still be okay.

What a funny scenario. A player that the GM absolutely has to trade at this point because it seems nearly impossible to mend this fence, and the sooner the better because of all the potential distractions during a tight playoff race. With a GM that's best known for not making NHL trades. Worst scenario ever for trying to get any value out of a star player with very little leverage.

Considering all that, and a pretty hefty contract he still has, I'd imagine there are teams that aren't interested at all. My guess, he gets traded for a 2nd and average prospect.

It's possible they let him have surgery and trade him in the summer. But at the same time it would mean they subtract a 19 minute forward without replacing him and the team is desperate to make the post-season.

 

[Avs_19]

They'll get a very good return for him. Too much talent there.

2nd + hishon or 2nd + Briere......

They will replace him, but they have other assets they can use to get some forward depth. My thought on them is Chevy has shown to be a VERY patient GM and he isn't going to deal from the ultimate position of weakness. I think he waits until Kane is at least healthy and more teams can move around pieces for the cap.

That is like saying a carrot is a patient predator. Waiting for the right time to pounce.

Chevy fits more into the "we should poke him with a stick to see if he is still alive" category.

 

[Congo Jack]

Kinda explains why Buff got so ticked at Evander. Seems he's really a team-first type of player, helping the youngsters and such.

Chevy has at least shown that he isn't going to make a deal unless it is absolutely perfect. I don't see him changing now...

I'd love for them to draw this situation out all year and not trade him. With the Avs playing the Jets this Sunday, and again at the end of the year with the standings so tight, I can't wait to see what happens next.

 

[Bubba Thudd]

On Sunday, Kane decides to get even with his team mates...

..by scoring in his own net!

He's also shown he won't make a deal...at all. What was the biggest trade in Winnipeg history so far? Oduya to Chicago? Bringing in Frolik? He's earned the name DayOff for a reason.
