Nobody except one guy

Who says he tried to move Kane

Quite a few people. Kane has no value right now because the accusations involve women.

I'm sure he stays for now. But it's not because Murray loves the guy anymore.

Don't believe everything you read, if we would have gotten Vesey, Kane would still be here.

The Kane delusion is strong with a few of you still.

Decent player, but is becoming widely known as severely over rated, and not worth the headache.

Murray tried to move him already. Hopefully the dude just keeps his head down and is a big reason we make the playoffs this year

I'll just say this about Kane again ........ what he brings to the ice is EXACTLY what has been lacking on this team for quite some time. I love watching him play and wish we had 5 more just like him. What trouble he gets in at a bar is completely irrelevant to me.............. and I cannot stress "completely" any more.

This I agree with as well .............

I agree with this for the most part (I don't think we need 5 of him)

I like him as a complimentary player. My issue is that the trade, and him playing 20 min a night indicates that they expect him to drive scoring. He just isn't that type of player

But not for the reasons you think ...........

I think there is a chance Ennis and Girgensons are gone, maybe not right now. I would not do the deal that was being talked about on here before, Ennis + for Valeri Nichushkin. That deal makes no sense, i'm not saying who reported it is wrong i'm just giving my opinion.

Ive had heard a few saying that TM tried to move him. And as for proof . " heard from someone else " So it's seems like one of those things. Someone says it and hear it enough times , it has to be true .

But not for the reasons you think ...........

My dislike for him aside.... I can say with almost certainty, Murray and Pegula were pissed and took calls (Murray) on him from at the very least Vancouver and NYR.

Give him a full year is all I ask .............

Maybe it is and maybe it isn't but from what i've heard, he hasn't. Big Z was a different story and i'm not defending Kane and I'm not going to get into the Kane situation again, just saying it's a different situation.

I have no proof he did or didn't.

Not THAT Russian though ..........
- fastek

Your assumptions don't seem to be based with any facts here bud

Bc Murray didn't draft someone,
does not automatically mean he doesn't like them

And Murray came out & joked about his supposed dislike of Russians,
So I'd say that's pretty untrue as well

Doubt it ............. but hey if it makes you feel better.
- fastek

I'd rather keep Kane if he has no value. A 2nd rounder does nothing for us.

He's a good player when healthy, and like you said, brings something we don't have a lot of

Ask yourself this question, after all they gave up for Kane why would they move him at the low point when he isn't worth much from what happen? Regardless what owners and GM's do in person and on TV, this is business an it makes no sense to move Kane for nothing. They didn't call the Rangers.

Sure . I can see it being different . Zads was an unproven snot nose . Kane is an experienced proven NHL player.


Tim Kennedy comes to mind .

As we fill in the wings with guys like Nylander & Bailey, etc
I'd love to see Reinhart centering a 3rd scoring line where he's setting up Kane
That could be quite a matchup problem for other teams

I take umbrage about the shot at NT. I grew up there. We are much dirtier than Lehner! But seriously, outside of like 10 of "the avenues" plus Oliver, NT is a really nice place.
- Wetbandit1

I agree. I live in NT and the overwhelming majority of the city is nice. Agree with the avenues take as well.

They like Bailey, AVS and Jets wanted him in deals and Murray said no. do you give him up for a top notch D man ?

I used to deliver for the pizza place at Oliver and Robinson. Was Pesci's when I was there, as far as I know it's still Brando's now. One of Pesci's owner's friends bought it, and as the name might tell you, is a bit of an idiot.

Honestly, Kane doesn't need a guy to set him up. He needs to be on a line that's not expected to produce offense every game. When Kane is on, he's a force, when he's off, he's a line killer.


Play him 16 min a night with Girgensons and someone else and let them play a strong fore-check, net crashing type game

So has anyone watched all the McDavid goals from last year? I think only 3-4 were impressive where as 15+ of Eichels goals were impressive.

If you have not watched McDavids goals, watch them and then comment. Eichel is every bit a star as McDavid.

My only problem with Eichel is he would be silent for most the night but then turn it on for a bit, hope he can be more consistent. But I am taking about a 19 year olds rookie coming from college schedule where they play half as many games with more rest between, so I think he will improve on that for sure.
