PhillipBlunt Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Eklund is saying that Boston is "could happen soon". According to a "well-placed" source in Boston. So.......Eklund is either a high ranking secret agent who is "placing" sources within NHL team management offices, or a complete and total assclown.......I'm going to go with assclown for $300, Alex.

If management thinks McEneny is ready, perhaps Pedan or similar. But I doubt BUF jumps on an offer like that. They're better off getting another year out of him, maybe a playoff push and letting him walk/getting a 5th or something for his rights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VIC_CITY Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 We're better off waiting to see how things play out over the course of the next year. We have already have young guys that need the ice time. Maybe next year when the Sedins retire we can think about bringing him in? But I wanna see him play a whole year and stay healthy/out of the press. No need to rush a move like that.

SabreFan1 Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Vancouver is a terrible trade partner for the Sabres when it comes to Kane. The Canucks have no need for a winger who may be gone after the season is done, so JB would be insane to give anything of value up for him. The only teams that should have any interest in Kane are playoff teams that need a bit more scoring to get to the next level. Non-playoff teams would just be throwing away assets that they can't afford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Non-playoff teams would just be throwing away assets that they can't afford. And even then, a deal is far more likely towards the TDL. Kane to a contender, maybe with some salary retention at the TDL might just get them something. Though I also don't know if a contender would risk disrupting chemistry/the locker room to bring him in on top of assets they'd need to give up to get him. Still leaves BUF with getting low balled IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone will pay him well on a bridge contract. Retaining salary at the TDL is rarely a deal maker or breaker unless he gets traded to a team that is riding at just under the ceiling.

I would say that was a one for one. So it was essentially Armia, Lemieux, and a 1st round pick. I would say that's pretty good value for a young highly drafted power forward.

I like Deniro's take on that one Alf.. really wasn't that bad a trade, and Kane has been hampered more by injuries these past 2 seasons, and still put up good numbers. kid is 25? .. he has a lot of good hockey left.

And I'm not sure why Kane keeps being brought up. I don't think he's the type of player the Canucks need during a rebuild. His character is often put into question. Does he really fit this team as it stands right now? Not sure that he does. And we'd have to move some major pieces if we are going to land Kane. At this moment of the Canucks' life, I don't think they can handle it, and they don't have the pieces either. would cripple the team, and we'd be left rebuilding a rebuild.
