Just say no to Kane . He is poisen till he gets his head screwed on right.


- Maximum Signal



What has he really done that was so bad?
Gets drafted and plays with Atlanta. Moves to the Peg. Has had some issues in Winnipeg that do not seem to be entirely his fault, if at all. Don't recall him being a bad apple in Atlanta.

The dudes only 22

Who doesn't need a big stud winger?
Have you seen him play?
Even at rink and if not scoring, he parks himself in front of the net ala Dave Andreychuk, hits, doesn't shy away f physical game and he can skate
He's a complete winger

On a team desperate for some young wingers. Kane is the perfect guy that is young enough and skilled enough to go forward with.

Is there any actual concrete evidence of his "attitude problems" ? All I see is a very talented winger who needs a desperate change of scenery.

From two coaches , got the first one fired , second one already has had too bench him. Off ice issues as well . Shooting his mouth of to the press and saying all the wrong things .

First coach got fired because he was a bad coach, nothing more. We hear this narrative all the time, p Kane, Subban, Seguin, Turris. Once they literally grow up they reach their full potential and turn into very good players ( yes I Kbps management was tough on them and we would need to do the same to keep him in line and I think new management is capable of that).

the players were not responding to the coach

I remember watching a game where Noel called a time out, and buf and kane were carrying on a conversation and blocking out noel. This wasa 1 goal game with 90 seconds left in it

If they want him they're going to have to. That may be trying to move him, but they doesn't change the fact that half this league is probably going to call about him. Bidding war ensues and you end up paying a steep price.

Hodgson+Pysyk and maybe a pick

And that's still an overpayment IMO

Coaching change probably saved Scheifele and Trouba's career.

Why do folks in Buffalo over value everything on other teams rosters so much ? Kane had one 30 goal season . 200 points in 300 games , how much better a producer is he then Hodgson ? You would think he is from Western New York or Irish.

Why Pysyk?

They seem to need forwards more than defense.

They have Bogosian, Enstrom, big Buff, Trouba and Morrissey coming up through the ranks.

If we're just talking stats, which you seem to be coming back to, he's played on some terrible teams, which hinders his production. In fact, they've ALL been terrible.

He's got one 30 goal season, yes. But he's only 22. How many 30 goal seasons does Hodgson have?

And Kane is a beast, plain and simple. He's an upgrade over Hodgson, who isn't even a damn winger.

Hodgson has not been on teams even worse ? How much better is he on points per game ?

I think it won't be long before Montreal and Buffalo are duking it out for top spot in the East.


- Jebus_Price


Montreal? Tampa will easily be ahead of Montreal as soon as next year. Boston will still dominate for a few years.

Reinhart and Risto are the only ones that would make it.

That is the type of crap that get said around here when the usual suspects overvalue and covet all these players . No quick fixes , let's just do it right . Next off season start wheeling and dealing with all the assets.
