Juolevi x 4 Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 I don't understand why you guys hate Kane.. he's one of the nicest people I've ever talked to. You got to get to know him rather than go off on what the media tells you because we all know the media hates African-American people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renelsisc Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 I don't understand what the big deal is. He's a good player on the ice. Young, fast, big, and scores. Exactly what we need. its his off ice antics that turn ppl off. But really, is that really a big deal? We are in the business of winning hockey games, not looking for a husband for your daughter. Who cares if he has "character issues" or is "cancer to the room." if a brand new young player can come into your change room, and change the strong ethical good characters that the team claims they have collectively so easily, then there's something wrong with the room to begin with. Patrick Kane is a character, evader Kane is a problem. Kobe Bryant a rapist, tiger woods a pervert. But yet they win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What did Kane do? Tell some bunny shark to get out of his face? Pushed his drunk gf into the car coz she was causing a scene and being lippy because of who she was with? Ya Kane needs to get his crap together to avoid putting himself in these stupid positions but until YOU know what he has done....I say all is well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, nobody sane would knowingly take a behaviour problem onto the team and say, in essence, I don't care what you do away from the rink, kid. Just win, baby. Benning was with Boston when they got rid of Seguin for his notoriety off-ice and then sent Kassian packing because of his lifestyle issues. Benning is an old school guy who has been around a long time. He knows the upheaval bad actors can cause to a team and he has proven he wants no part of them. Do you honestly think Benning would even consider taking Evander Kane? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evander is the exact player Benning described trading for 2 days ago. I don't think it's out of the question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Positive Canuck Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 3 hours ago, TheRussianRocket. said: I whole heartedly agree with this statement. ..especially the part about the Canucks having such character guys. If there is as much character on the roster as people say there is, let those guys take Evander under their wing, mentor him, and guide him the right way. I just don't get how people are completely against the notion of getting Kane. It's arguably the best "low risk, high reward" value you could possibly get at the moment across the league. The dividends would be huge if Evander cleans up his act and it's not a stretch asking him to do so again with the leaders/character guys on this team that would guide him, not to mention the self responsibility he would put on himself being back home infront of family+friends, wanting to recreate his image/not further damage it, and knowing this could arguably be his last chance at reviving his NHL career. ...again, worst comes to worst you retain and trade him, he gets exposed to the expansion draft, you buy him out, or you can just burry him like how the team did with Vrbata towards the end of last season. It's just 2 years on the contract people!!!! Lol. The pros HEAVILY outweigh the cons considering what the team could benefit from this if it goes according to plan and if not, the options available to dismiss of the player would be straight forward and simple. It all depends if Kane agrees to tone it down and concentrate on being a hockey player and not a wanna be gangster rapper. Maybe he's acting up because Buffalo and Winnipeg are total dumps and he wants to come home. This forward core desperately needs 2x E.Kane type players tho thats for sure, its way too soft.

We need our draft picks, we've traded away too many. So next years 1st is off the table. Sbisa, Zalewski and a 5th. Take it or leave it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xereau Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 Character issues or not.. damn. He would make a nice winger for Sutter or Bo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86Viking Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 Not comparing the skill level of P.Kane and E.Kane. But everyone was all over P.Kane last summer due to his allegations, he got removed from the nhl 16 cover. The rumours turned out to be false, just some skanky women looking for a payout from a rich sports athelete, not the first definitely not the last time. That all said, let the allegations play out, but yes I would have interest and likely Benning still would as he did before. I dont think he will come dirt cheap, but might come for a package of non impactful top end players or picks. Sbisa-logical choice we have too many D Hansen- hard to lose him but would fit well in Buffalo and has decent value columbus 2nd round pick in 17/18 whenever they decide to cough it up That package is more than fair for E.Kane given the circumstances. Would be interesting to know what he was offering to the Jets for him if it didnt include Horvat, McCann or Virtanen what was left to offer!

IbanezRG Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 Ugh so many naive people here. Kane would destroy this team from the inside out, he wouldn't mend as a team mate with the sedins, would be a horrid influence on our young players, especially virtanen who's additude was in question when he was drafted, but has been off to a great professional start, Kane gets on the team and you're going to start hearing about locker room arguments, irresponsible and I'll timed Vegas trips with the teams young players, lack of comradary- he would never fit in on Bennings plans and would just get hurt when he was most needed anyways. whats the definition of insanity again? Because the amount of chances this kid has been given and has failed to capitalize on is starting to fall into that category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
