Hmm. I'd say 25 goals, maybe 20-30 assists on the Jets.

And what about Kane with Kessel as his RW?

top 6 certainly but he's like Kane.. complimentary piece

who netted the flyers Luke Schenn

thats why the suggestions of reimer franson kadri and a pick are way way high imo

- Dozzer

Fine.. Bernier, Riley, Kessel and no pick.

Jvr is legit first line material and Im not biased. Its not just based on pure offense, he is a great net presence, great attitude, playoff performer, kills penalties and has soft hands. His size definitely makes him a 1st liner but he is a 1st liner

Don't think you can just look at one trade to set a precedent though.

Okay, and what about the rest of my post?
- Nucker101


You take away a player playing with someone like Kessel and their production will go down. That doesn't mean he's not a 1st liner. Kane has talent, maybe not as much as some of the trade offers would suggest, but he's a very attractive player.

His problem is that he has issues between the ears. Until he stops acting like a spoiled teenager I want nothing to do with him. The Leafs have enough talent to compete...what they lack is strong character.

25 goals, 20-25 assists. I see where you're coming at with this and you're pretty much right. Tit for tat. I just see more of an upside for JVR still. I see his plateau at 34-35 goals and a total of 75 points for a season. Kane I see maybe mid sixties in points at his highest with the same line mates at his peak. Who knows, though, cause they'll both stay where they are for the foreseeable future.

Yep - I guess this means Holland is back in the AHL this season - or traded.

Cue the Holland + rumours for E. Kane

I disagree i think he can anchor his own line with a good playmaking center.

Hasn't Kadri proven more than Kane? Why would we include him in a trade?

Franzen for JVR. We can get JVR with Datsyuk and Zetterberg. That'd be awesome.

a fair statement, however, kane will not net much more than a solid roster player and a prospect / pick imo

You think so or is there an actual source? Is it a coincidence that both he and Winnik have decent possession numbers?

I don't really follow any Leafs news guys on Twitter so I just assumed Dubas had a say in both, or at least Winnik.
