Can anyone really justify calling him a douche? Does anyone know him personally, or are they just prejudice to people taking comical pictures where they use a stack of cash as a phone?

The guy is heavily involved in charities and giving back to the community, but that's all over shadowed by the fact that he took a picture in Vegas and missed a team meeting?

I understand he's not a perfect NHL player attitude wise, but honestly, it really shouldn't be a drawback to having him on a team.

There isn't a bar in Winnipeg that doesn't have a "Kane is an a-hole" story. This guy really is a head case. It has nothing to do with his age or the team's situation or the city he's in. It's just what he is.

Any trade offer involving Franson and Reimer would be a salary dump. You won't get any value in return for them. Please stop including them in offers for Kane.

If the Leafs only had the GUTS to draft 2nd overall, I'd be such a happy man.

Why, are the Canucks running low on chubby, overrated players?

What a shame - I met him on a flight from Vancouver to Toronto. He was flying out for the World Championships. He was incredibly nice - personable and seemed quite humble.

I know, I wasn't suggesting it. Just trying to point out how far I think the Kane love has gone. This guy is an a-hole whose production has been slipping. But because he's big he has all this value?

Like I said...let someone else deal with his problems.

- djamon


a-hole maybe, but his production has not really slipped, maybe 1/10th of a point per game in 3 years. He is a 30 goal guy when healthy, so in dealing Kadri, you would exchange one problem for another.

Both of their last names start with K. Seems like an even trade to me

I'm not sure that was the case in Boston. I think they're still eating their socks over that one.

doubtful. James Neal had 'attitude problems' also.....return was less than stellar and he's young and a 40g man (yes on Pit, but still)

Teams avoid a-hole players like the plague
