He’s two really good stretches of hockey that have lasted for 20-25 games each for 2-3 years he’s been here.

How about his assists per game? He might be bottom 5 for LW’ers

My god he hasn’t done anything in 2 months, imagine if that was Ryan Miller

If you're trying to sell a car that your financial future hinges on which of these do you do?

Drive the poop out of it so everyone can see how fast it is and get in an accident?

Or keep it in the garage and use the last 3 years of statistics fuel the bidding war while protecting your asset.

He didn't do anything here himself, ultimately, except throw his teammates under the bus, get beat high glove-side and cry.

Yeah, call me when Kane wins a scoring title then we can compare their accomplishments. Or wins a playoffs series, or 4.

Never mind, don’t call me

Ocho Stinko in net tonight. E-Rod and Pouliot out, Nolan and Josefson in. Per Hamster.

Points per game

Thomas Vanek- .72
Evander Kane -.72

Because kane asked to have his minutes reduced and put on the third line as soon as serious talks started up?

And really, the assets returned for kane benefit the team.

An injury and him walking for nothing do not.

He did? If so, absolutely.

Imagine if Eichel did that until he signed his extension.

Agreed, so trade him now. Today

Housely needs to get on the same page as Botterill. I see that Pouliot is sitting and Nolan is playing in his place. And Kane is stuck with Larsson as his center. We need to play Kane with Eichel until they trade him. Housely should be showcasing all of our UFA's and putting them in the best possible situations to look good.

He didnt ask for it, that was hard to notice internet sarcasm.

I think that most likely scenario is that there is a real bidding war going on and GMJB told Kane to dial it back a little bit and stay healthy

He needs to be fired then. No GM Should ever tell a player not to go out and play their game because they are afraid of injury.

You're actually legit a moron about this whole Kane thing.

these Kane haters no nothing about hockey


they need to get a f@cking life
- homiedclown

Just because you like kane, doesn't mean others can't see him for what he is.

Injury prone
Bad teammate
Overrated
Loser ( 3rd mist nhl games without a playoff game)
Off ice trouble maker
Inconsistent


What is so great about kane?

He can check and play physical.
Scores on occasion
Can fight



Cons outweigh the pros

VERY REPLACEABLE

You sir, are just the WORST.

My guess is the Kane move back to Eichels wing is a showcase for a weekend move.

If it would only happen already so we don't have to hear Kane rumors anymore.

Im trying to figure out how the pens can be front runners for him. outside of Sprong the top prospects are all G's

and they haven't picked in the first round 3 years straight so i can't imagine them wanting to give that up again.

Maybe they're showcasing derek simon? either way not much of an option unless they're good with say Simon, Bengtsson(23 year old swede d-man) and a 2nd

Our goaltending is unbelievable

Why would we inquire about any Pittsburgh goalie? Especially guys who jbotts knows.

All 3 goaltenders would be an upgrade

Murray
Jarry

How can you blame Kane for not being in the playoffs when he is one of 25 guys on a team? Don't understand this at all. So I guess Kyle Williams is a no good bum too?????

inconsistent.... compared to who? If Kane is VERY REPLACEABLE why don't we have a team of 25-30 goal scorers? If you don't want to resign him that a fair argument but to say he is a bad teammate, or off ice trouble maker is not accurate IMHO. he had one off ice incident since he has been here.

IN BUFFALO:

185 games played

.72 ppg

64 goals

50 assists

114 points. Only 29 have come on the Power-Play. He's a GREAT even strength scorer who has played on some VERY BAD teams.

He constantly gets shuffled around between the top-3 lines.

Dany Heatley KILLED A GUY. And by all means was a pile of crap his entire career.

Evander Kane had no issues in Atlanta, went to a racist city in Winnepeg, and got lambasted by a fan-base who couldn't stand seeing pictures with money stacks from a 21 year old who got hazed by an Uncle Tom teammate.

He came to Buffalo and that reputation followed him but go figure, it was quickly proven wrong by his tremendous charity work and numerous reports that he's a wonderful person to fans and teammates alike. Our own SABRES89 has stated numerous times he's nothing but a gentleman.

You are a legit racist, plain and simple.

Says the guy calling another guy he doesn't know an "Uncle Tom". Precious.

If GMJB is certain at this point to move on from Lehner and put Ullmark as the team's starter, he needs someone else. Ullmark in year 1 as a starter isn't going to be able to take on 60-65 starts, someone else will need to almost split the season with him. Johanson is years away and will be Rochester next year more than likely, and a vet backup provides no competition for Ullmark to stay on top of his game.

Cal Petersen and Ullmark would have been a good 1-2 combo next year, but Cal said, "Peace, I'm out." Maybe, GMJB sees a good young goalie in Pitt that he thinks he can get on the cheap to help compete with Ullmark. At least get on the cheap other than trading a 1st round pick for him.
