Turning Luongo into Evander Kane


Recommended Posts

Just for laughs..

Let's pull a Holgrem on the Jets and offer sheet Evander Kane to a front loaded 10 year contract with cap hit of ~5M. Which would cost us some good draft picks - first, second and third round picks.

Trade Luongo for either a) first and a second (ambitious), (B) first and a third, or even © second and a third. Frankly a net of first rounder in 2013 for evander kane is quite worth it.

Get 'er done!

Wouldn't work. That cap hit is manageable and Kane is so young a 10 year deal would still have him earning significant yearly salary at the end as he'd be in his prime.

The only thing you could possibly do is turn it into a deal that extends at least into his late 30s so you can lower the last few years and has significant signing bonuses at the beginning to try and cause issues with how much cash Winnipeg can afford up front. Even then they likely match, but if they didn't the deal would still have a big cap hit compared to his value this early in his career.
