Mackcanuck Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Something up in Jetsville with Kane Healthy scratch in a nationally broadcast Sat. night game against the leafs! Kane was seen talking to his agent outside the dressing room last night. http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=448483 Jets coach Paul Maurice said Saturday morning that he would dress his best lineup as they prepared for the Maple Leafs. But by the time the puck dropped at Air Canada Centre, Winnipeg forwardEvander Kane had been listed as a healthy scratch as the Jets went on to deliver a severe blow to Toronto's playoff hopes with a 4-2 win. Asked what Kane had to do to return to the lineup, Maurice said, "probably just come to the rink." Kane was seen outside the Jets locker-room post-game speaking with his agent, but declined to comment on being a healthy scratch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
73 Percent Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 its hard for him to be an effective fantasy player when he only plays half the season... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BabychStache Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 The guy will never be happy in Winnipeg. Move him Jets before he walks. So much potential. Probably gonna end up with one of the Cali teams or the Hawks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neversummer Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 If it is just him being a diva ... suck it up Princess. You're getting paid handsomely to play. You signed contract extension with Winnipeg, with Maurice there, things are looking up. Be a professional and do it for your teammates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvis15 Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Despite all the talk in Winnipeg about how there really isn't any strife, it's very easy to see how the rumours keep circulating that Kane wants to be traded (or that Winnipeg is looking to trade him). If there's one target I think we can and should go after to get younger, bigger, faster and improve our offence, it's Evander Kane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there's one target I think we can and should go after to get younger, bigger, faster and improve our offence, it's Evander Kane. I agree, I think he offers what we have been looking for all along, I imagine his attitude improves alittle in vancouver, a city he wants to play in and on a team with a lot of successful veterans - kesler, hammer, the sedins etc plus we have no one of impact in our forward group in his age range, although kass and Jensen are improving if we draft a skill center like nylander then getting kane solidifies a very solid top 9 going forward and we can turn our attention to our future defensive situation I say with our pick being so high, draft fleury or nylander and trade either this years or next years for Kane along with Hansen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mackcanuck Posted April 6, 2014 Author Share Posted April 6, 2014 Evander Kane does not have a NTC, $5.25M cap hit for 4 years after this season, 30 goal scorer with 4 years in the league at 22 years old, If he becomes available, there would be a huge bidding war! Hansen and a 1st would not even come close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elvis15 Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 While I've heard some of his off-ice stuff (not substantiated, but heard at least) I haven't really heard as much about what the issue is if any within the team. That would have to be addressed prior to finalizing the trade of course (and no way Hansen and a 1st gets it done) but if there's anywhere he'd do well it'd be here in Vancouver - or it could blow up in our faces, but I'll take that risk if we don't have to give up too much. Consider what we would like from a Kesler trade, particularly with the Penguins. If they were to offer Bennett, Pouliot and their 1st for Kesler, would you take that or make a three way deal by including Kane coming back to us (and maybe they include the rights to Burmistrov)? I'd like to get a little more, like maybe Pitts' 1st, but just not sure we can in a deal like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hockeyville88 Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 And despite that, the Jets still beat the Leafs I don't care how good a player Kane is. He clearly has attitude and behaviour issues. And he's not THAT good to the point where I'd be willing to put up with all the other stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, if that's all the Jets could get for Kane, then it's best they keep him. He doesn't have a NTC and is locked up for years. Change of scenery is all he needs. If the Canucks had boat loads of interest for Kesler, who has a NTC, the Jets will have 29 teams bidding for Kane who has a reasonable salary and can get traded anywhere. If I were Jets brass, I would look at the Islanders, they like to make lopsided trades that help the other team more then their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smiley2051 Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 I sort of thought Lack would have been a great piece to throw in a Kane deal...
