(Eklund) Vancouver and Winnipeg working on trade around Evander Kane


2009cupchamps

Recommended Posts

How is that a bad deal?

Kassian = Kane (both inconsistent players and young)

Buff = Edler (similar players)

Erricsson/Hansen = Ladd (get a BC boy; top 6; opens up space and playing time for Markstrom)

It's a terrific deal if your Vancouver.

If you're Winnipeg, that's the dumbest trade ever. They wouldn't even trade those 3 for Daniel and Henrik, let alone the fodder you proposed for them.

Really...

Jets likely roster as of right now:

Kane (23 years old, $5.25M) - Scheifele - Wheeler

Ladd (28 years old. $4.4M) - Little - Byfuglien (29 years old, $5.2M)

Galiari - Perreault - Frolik

Tangradi - Slater - Thorburn

After terrible trade:

Sedin (33 years old, $7M) - Sedin (33 years old, $7M) - Wheeler

Scheifele (where else can he go?)- Little - Frolik

Galiardi - Perreault - Thorburn

Tangradi - Slater - Peluso

So yeah, really.

We agree on a lot of things normally.

This won't be one of them. Like at all. Ever.

Why on earth WOULDN'T the Canucks trade Kassian if it could land them a better player? Kane has scored 4 times more goals and points in only a little over twice as many games.

Not only that, but Evander is over 6 months younger than Kassian. So if Kassian is "just coming into his own", isn't it reasonable to assume Kane has more to give too?

What would IMPROVING the team be equated with tanking?

Exactly, lol. Where does all this Kassian is an untouchable God stuff come from, when you're comparing him to a guy that has done so much more already at a the same (slightly younger) age?

Too much homerism towards Canucks players all around here. What is Kassian primed to explode, and Kane just randomly regress? Always hear this on CDC... but no one anywhere else thinks anything of him.

Normally, I agree with most of what you say.

But in this case WH, you've got to keep that package if you're the Jets.

I don't know.

Buff being almost redundant and a throw in right now (more value elsewhere)

Kane being the problem child and less value than he's worth

Ladd being the leadership role and possible centerpiece

for

2 first line players

Regardless of personal feelings that's a 1 for 1 deal that works. Not one i'd make but it's basically value for value, throw in Corrado if WPG wants a D man back but really.

Kane >>>>>> Kassian (41pts in 63 games, former 30 goal scorer, on pace for >20 goals for 4 straight seasons) vs (29pts in 73 games, previously fringe NHLer) - Not even close in terms of value

Buff > Edler (both garbage defensively, Buff better offensively and can play both forward and defense)

Ladd >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Hansen/Ericsson (no explanation needed, this one is just sad)

I'm a huge Kassian fan. This one is on me. I would rather see Kane and Kassian play on the same line than trade one for the other. I think both young men have super futures in front of them.

Kassian has severe untapped talent. So does Kane but with Maurice praising Kane and saying he'll give him the minutes, I fearthw window to trade for Kane is closing fast if it isn't already.

The consolation prize?

In hinds sight it would make total sense, but lots of people here feel you don't need scoring to win a cup in the future, this team needs a physical player who will develop in the future to help this team win a cup. Trust me I don't get their logic, it's all backwards.

I guess Eklund as done his job, were up to 12 posts talking about Kane.

Actually this should be move into proposal, because it's clearly become one of those topics, more than an actual trade rumors. Anyways Kane is overrated on this board, the cost to acquire him would exceed his return.
