Piggy Bank Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 the prospect swap is with Dallas, and we send Jake Virtanen away for Julius Honka the second trade would be Luca Sbisa for Evander Kane. Sedin's Eriksson Kane Sutter Rodin Baertschi Horvat Hansen Dorsett Granlund Burrows Hutton Gudbranson Edler Tanev Tryamkin Honka Marky Miller IMO, we would be headed in a good direction as Kane essentially replaces Virtanen, Sbisa is goner than gone, and we bring in another Blue Chip D prospect. Now, if we can develop a core around Gudbr Honka Joul Hutton Tryam Tanev + Bowser Boho Baert Kane Rodin + Demko that would be excellent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanuck Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 That's a no to trading Virt. And a Texas sized no to acquiring Kane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Vandelay Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 I'd rather not risk trading Virtanen for another prospect. Especially one that did marginally better than Subban (both 11 goals, Honka 10 more assists on a more offensive team) in the AHL. They are the same size, one weighs more, the other is taller, both offensive and shoot right. I'd rather keep Virtanen and hope Subban plans out. Also, Buffalo says no. Kane is worth more than that to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adarsh Sant Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Virtanen could eventually be better than Kane. He is one guy we don't want to lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GB5 Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Essentially that is two NHL players for one non-NHL player and another potential non-NHL player if he doesn't get his act together. No to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Neilsons Towel Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Hard NO on trading Virtanen... and a HELL NO to Evander Kane as a Canuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5Fivehole0 Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 What's your reason for trading Virt for Honka? I just don't see that as a good trade, sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonny_Bohonos_14 Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Dallas needs defense -- and they don't really have a need for offense -- so I don't see why they do that deal. Also a no from my end as well. Kane.. I am on the fence with that guy. The talent is undeniable, but the off ice issues are a concern.. With the Sedins already showing frustration last year, I doubt they want the headache that is Kane. Benning was also a proponent of trading Seguin -- just paraphrasing, but I believe he was recorded saying something along the lines of "we're not here to babysit players". So I am going to guess that we will be passing on Kane -- in any deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldoescobar Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Its going to take more than Sbisa to get Kane despite the off ice issues I think. As for Virtanen to Dallas for Honka, would do it in a second as Honka is the far superior ceiling imo. I can see Virtanen capping as a Sandlak type player. Another poster stated it though, Dallas needs defense so its hard to see them giving up Honka. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
