Tom Sestito Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Evander Kane fits the mold of the player that management wants in their organization. He's big, he's fast, he can score, and he's always involved. He's got the mental toughness and competitiveness on ice to be effective every shift. He's entering his prime at the age of 23 and a half, and is deserving of a consistent top six role. He's got the poise and on ice IQ that make him an excellent fit. Jets fans said a lot prior to the fallout that he makes players around him better. He's a 200 foot player. He defends extremely well, and he can push pace 5 on 5 - something we don't have in the top nine other than.. Matthias? The Canucks do not have a guy with potential to put up consistent 30 goal seasons coming up within the next five years. Virtanen is fine and all, but he's 18. In five years, when Virtanen is 23 and has the poise in his game, he'll then be ready. Vrbata will be a free agent in a year, and will be 35 by contract's end. Daniel Sedin is not capable of putting up 30 goals anymore, and neither is any other guy we have. This forum likes to make a big deal about leadership, well this is his home city and he'd be surrounded by our leadership guys and like Shannon said - Linden and Desjardins would be great. Look, even right now Ian and Valk agree. We need to get a young guy like this. He's a dynamic scorer. We can't rely on the overpriced free agent market to get a young goal scorer, or pay stupid prices on UFA's like Chris Stewart and Antoine Vermette. And no, his value won't "drop" because of this incident, when common sense indicates 20 teams will at least enquire. It's going to take a lot.. but he's a talented player and young ones like this are a once every year or two year occurrence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweathog Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 I would be ecstatic to have Evander Kane on this team. But if the price to get him means mortgaging the future,then it's simply not worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronalds.Kenins41 Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 The Canucks do not have a guy with potential to put up consistent 30 goal seasons coming up within the next five years. You say this like it's 100% certain. Considering you just said 5 years, you missed the fact we can draft a potential 30 goal scorer and have him the line up by then. Things can change and they certainly will be the end of 5 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.DirtyDangles Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 I like a tonne of what he brings to the ice when healthy, but mental toughness ? If he had more of it he would not be constantly drawing the the wrath of his coaches ? The last thing we need is another super project imho. Willie has his hands full playing favorites now(jokes) Young, immature, and disrespectful. Doesn't know how much he really means to the team in terms of offensive production and merchandise sales as well. He is screwing with big Buff man . He wants tp play D now he is playing Rw again his minutes have been chopped. Angry Buff probably doesn't go over well in the room i bet. -Forgot to add these are 3 random responses from 3 people in one room when asked if they would want kane on their team- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JiffyPB Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Are you willing to pay Virtanen, Higgins and a 2nd/Tryamkin/Hutton for him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BananaMash Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Feel pretty strongly about it tbh Yeah, but who are you trying to convince tho. No one here gonna read this and tell Benning to trade.

It's not like management has indicated we're going to be dropping down in the standings in a tank. It's difficult to acquire guys in the mid first round that will put up 30 goals prior to the age of 22, would you not agree? Tarasenko is the only one I can think of.
