Trade ideas and speculation

From Bob McKenzie

 

Quick update, FWIW, my understanding is whatever dialogue VAN/BUF had on Evander Kane, and there was talk, it's no longer being pursued.

 

 

Like I mentioned earlier, Kane ain't going anywhere. Lets get him straightened out here and contributing. We'll never get the value we should so play it out and get productive here jackass.

The sad truth is is that we have nothing but our 1st next year to offer in trades right now. Kane has no value, Ennis, Bogo, Kulikov are injured. Moulson's contract bars any trade. Girgensons and Foligno won't garner very much and none of the kids have been impressive enough to have big value. No one wants Gorges or Franson.

 

Anyone someone would want, like McCabe or Larson aren't going to be traded. We also don't have any cap room. This is not a good situation from which to make a move or two now to improve the team.

Sbisa IS negative value. If the Canucks were in a situation where they needed cap space and were shooting for playoffs, he's the kind of guy that you throw a pick with to get another team to take him off your hands. 

 

The fact that a 20 goal winger was valued at the same level as Luca Sbisa by perhaps the only guy in the league willing to make a move for him and a guy known for his crafting of terrible trades means Kane's value is down the toilet, and certainly isn't within a thousand miles of some of the deals proposed in this thread.

It would be super cool if the same rumor from 3 months ago wouldn't keep getting reported as new or ongoing

 

Friedman reported this tonight during the second intermission of the Jets and Canes Game Tonight on SportsNet. Considering he and McKenzie are the top insiders in the business and both spoke about The Canucks Interest in Kane in the past seven days it appears there was a valid reason for the rumor to be recirculated.

This topic is OLD. A NEW topic should be started unless there is a VERY SPECIFIC REASON to revive this one.
