except the driving factor behind his value has been this prolonged slump. Even if those teams didnt sell, Kane has basically been useless since mid december, thats going to hurt value.

teams may "know who kane is" but this is a short term buy so thats all buyers are interested.

Also, RE: your point about nobody benching and the rangers not doing that...

As far as NyR goes...
“Bc they’re closing in on deals”
That sounds imminent to me

As far as Kane goes...
if his value is DOWN now, bc Botts price has dropped
Then it was UP then, when Botts had just raised the price

Even if his play has finally been the deciding factor (i still think more sellers is a bigger factor, but whatever)...

12 bad games (how long his slump was at the time of the argument) obviously was t enough to drop the value THEN bc Botts had just raised the price

We all know that the NHL suffers from an abundance of scoring and appeals only to casual fans.

So in order to drive down excitement, let's reduce goals and slow the game down.

Why don't they show Bob Ross episodes on the Jumbo tron during the review? At least at the end the fans will be sound asleep or see some happy friggen' trees.

TSN guys said nothing imminent but who really knows

This assumes botts was correct to raise the price (i.e he was swimming in offers)

All we've heard is the potential pittsburgh trade for future firsts and that insiders were saying teams werent willing to give up a first.

We should trade Kane to NJ for Jesper Boqvist. Then we can draft his brother with the 4th overall pick

considering how great of a start he had, he must be going through a helluva down stretch.

Which is fair to do...
especially if you’re now saying that him dropping the price means value is down

Works BOTH ways sir

Also...
Not i, nor anyone i remember, actually believed that Botts would get all 4 of those pieces for Kane

I said I’d be happy with an “A” prospect & a 2nd that becomes a 1st if the team re-signs Kane
That was my hope instead of a 1st & a “B” prospect

We will see what happens
I’m sure Botts will accept the best offer

Anyone saying a top 5 pick is 4-5 years away from contributing is just making up numbers.
- Lunaion

Based on we are not betting that top 5 pick. Top five is still MAYBE 3 yrs away

I think value has been down the whole time, I think the price dropping is botts giving in a bit with deadline approaching to ensure he gets something of value.

Im hopeful he gets decent value, im not all that optimistic. not because of Botts, although I would have sold much earlier, but because I dont believe Kane is all that great in the first place so you need to bet on someones stupidity. Unfortunately, Chiarelli is a seller.
