Machine of Loving Grace Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Asking price for kane is " one top asset" what ever that means Fourth Period is saying Habs are in the mix, before the recent reports of his value dropping: http://www.thefourthperiod.com/news/wpg150204.html The Montreal Canadiens and Philadelphia Flyers have expressed significant interest in Kane in the past, and both teams could renew discussions with the Jets, if GM Kevin Cheveldayoff is willing to entertain offers. But the Jets aren't willing to move Kane without a significant return coming back their way -- presumably in the form of a top-six forward, a prospect and a draft pick. I've now read that it's the Habs, Leafs, Sabres, Kings and Penguins in the mix for him. Four of the five would have to move cap space back to the Jets to make the deal work.

Guest Stogey24 Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Ya, Sportsnet article just said 1 top asset.... Either way, I don't care what anyone says, he's more than capable of being a 30 goal scorer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 'One top asset' - a gnomic phrase to be sure! I'd give a 1st-round pick for Kane for sure, but I doubt that's what the Jets have in mind. They are in a dead-heat playoff race and absolutely cowabunga to make the dance, so it'd be a 'top asset' roster player for sure. Gallagher would probably do it, but that's losing a TON of great intangibles in exchange for a ton of highly questionable ones. Personally, I don't make that deal. Eller is not a 'top asset.' Pleks for Kane would be a great deal three years from now -assuming Kane's personal 'issues' don't explode in temptation-filled Montreal - but it probably would be catastrophic for us this season. Eller + Emelin could get it done. Leaves a humungous hole on the blueline for us. Also, neither is a 'top asset.' You have to hope that two middling assets count for one 'top' asset. I dunno. After that, we're talking deals involving names like Beaulieu, Tinordi, Sekac, etc., as key parts. I don't know about that, and I don't know if the Jets'd be interested given the pressure they are under to win NOW. In short: not easy to see a fit. I wonder, though, how they'd feel about Tokarski? Their goaltending has been up and down. Maybe he is a piece you can throw in to keep the cost down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Tokarski and being a very critical Habs fan, I see a lot of holes in his game and just don't see him becoming a legit number 1. Hutchinson has also been lights out for Winni', before this current slump anyways Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovett's Magnatones Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Winnipeg have this kid Hellebucyk that a lot of their fans are high on. That would leave us with Joey MacDonald or Mike Condon as a backup. A guaranteed loss every sixth or seventh game, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeLassister Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 I'd give a 5th rounder to the Jets to make sure we don't end up with Evander Kane. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
habs rule Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 I would take Kane on our team, we have Le Genius who is apparently a mastermind at forming young minds. I bet he could turn Kane into a 40 goal scorer in a heartbeat. Look at what he has done with all of our young players. HMMMMMM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Condon is putting up better numbers than Tokarski did last year with Hamilton and happened to sign a two year extension this morning (the second year being one-way). It's not a matter of if Condon replaces Tokarski, it's when. They could move Tokarski with the confidence that Condon could successfully replace him. (Not that Winnipeg would want him as you noted; on top of Hellebuyck, they also have Eric Comrie.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was pissed about Kane not dressing up. He said said Kane can go somewhere else if he doesn't want to follow the code. I guess the boys threw all of his gear into the showers too. Apparently that's the reason he wasn't at the game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

illWill Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 The thought of being able to acquire Kane at a reduced cost than before sounds very enticing, but it is hard to put together a trade that makes sense for both teams. Unless they would take Desharnais/Eller + prospect/pick, not much else makes much sense for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted February 5, 2015 Author Share Posted February 5, 2015 Do you think he's ready now? To play sparingly behind Price? Sure. That said, if they moved Tokarski, I think they'd opt to get a veteran rental backup goalie to give Condon the rest of the year in the minors (with a possible playoff run).

dlbalr Posted February 6, 2015 Author Share Posted February 6, 2015 According to Dreger, the Habs are one of many teams who would be interested in Kane. More shockingly, he apparently didn't mention the Leafs which would be a first. “The availability of Kane is really going to be entirely specific to whether or not he requires surgery. If he requires surgery, then obviously no one is going to take a chance because he’ll be done. If the injury is less significant and doesn’t require surgery and managers are comfortable, then there’s going to be a bidding war. We’re talking about Pittsburgh. We’re talking about Boston. We’re talking about Anaheim. We’re talking about Vancouver, from a Canadian perspective. The Montreal Canadiens, from a Canadian perspective. Again, to name but a few.” http://www.nicholsonhockey.com/worthreading/2015/2/5/dreger-bidding-war-for-jets-kane-could-include-penguins-bruins-ducks-canucks-canadiens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hab29RETIRED Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Kane still has 3 years left. The one thing with Kane is he's a UFA after his contracts up. I really like Kassian and Kane though. I think their toughness alone would be huge for this team M.B has ties with both teams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone forgets Hal Gill having to be Subban's babysitter. Half of what is being said about Kane was said about Subban which makes me embarrassed when Habs fans defend Subban to death but then shove Evander under the bus because he's a Jet.
