[Rumour] Evander Kane will not negotiate contract with Winnipeg


Recommended Posts

i havent heard great things about kane....

when he took number 9 when he went to wpg wasnt a good sign...there doesnt haft to be a rule for you not to do something, especially when little took a different number

my friend told me that his sister was at the same club with him downtown and he was so arrogant and self obsorbed....but he was buying everyone drinks

maybe it would be different on a veteran team but i am not 100% sold on this guy

No...He wouldn't.

When are people going to start to realize that it takes a unique player to be successful with Ryan Kesler and that David Booth AND Evander Kane, guys that like to carry the puck to the net, are NOT at all those type of players.

Kesler had his initial breakout with Sundin and Demitra, two guys that loved to PASS the puck, making a pass first centerman much more successful.

Not saying we could land these guys but Marty St. Louis or PA Parentau are guys that could work well with Kesler.

Listen...IF and it's a BIG IF, Evander Kane is available, MG will do what he can to acquire him if at all possible. However, Booth would have to be involved in the deal for cap and style reasons and that is just fine with me.

I watch quite a few Jets games last season, and it seems that Kane is a little predictable; he does the same move at the opponent's blue line all the time. This scares me a lot because he's not at the level that Ovie was before being found out, and teams caught on near the end of the season. He isn't the player we need, especially since he isn't that play maker that we need for the 2nd line.

Kane would look fantastic playing for the Canucks... but I can't see what we would trade for him. Even if Pavelec bolts, I don't know why Luongo would play for Winnipeg, and I doubt Winnipeg would trade Kane for him anyway. The only real valuable chip we could play is Schneider. Perhaps Edler or Kesler, if MG was willing to part with them, but I highly doubt that would happen. That's about it.

Winnipeg would want a king's ransom for Kane. There's no way in hell the Canucks have what it takes without making our team significantly worse.

I hope this rumour is unfounded anyways. I like Kane, but if he pulls a stunt like this at 20 yrs old, it just confirms all the rumours about him being a self-absorbed dude.

I like Evander as a player as well. Yes, Evander was probably unhappy this season in Winnipeg, because in January there were rumours (probably false) that he didn't pay his restaurant bills or bar taps and after there were some war of words on his twitter account with him saying stuff like "ray charles to the bullish*t " to people talking smack about him on the website. Also, apparently he's known around Vancouver as cocky from his minor hockey/high school days (which rumours are also probably overblown and being cocky isisnt neccesairly a bad thing). However, if MG could pull this off words would not express how big of a deal this would be for the franchise.
