Randall Flagg Posted October 21, 2016 Report Share Posted October 21, 2016 I just listened to Canuck beat writer Ian McIntyre on Vancouver radio. He was asked about the Canucks interest in Kane. He said his sources say that was a far bigger story outside the Sabres than inside the Sabres. He said he Sabres couldn't block Jim Benning's calls, but they didn't have a lot of interest in moving him at that time. Whether that changes in the future (we know what Tim Murray said last week about Kane's value) and the Canucks could circle back was an open question., he added. Interesting. GMTM should be doing everything he can to fleece that guy while he's there, Kane or no Kane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Aud Smell Posted November 7, 2016 Report Share Posted November 7, 2016 (edited) The latest indication that Evander Kane is still ... Evander? https://www.instagram.com/p/BMhax4zBl8w/ For those who won't or can't click through, it's him (in a video) pretending to be one of the many social media trolls who griped at him for a video he posted earlier in the day (in the earlier video, he was in his car, lip syncing to a song). The fact that he's responding to the noise and nonsense is not a promising sign, to me. It just smacks of immaturity. Or maybe I'm wrong. Maybe it's a sign that he's nearing a return to health, and that he'll soon be generating a slew of low percentage shots for the Sabres.

With respect, I think you're looking for a reason to be mad at him. Not that this doesn't come off as immature, it just seems like you're following him with the express purpose of jumping on a misstep. Maybe you're not, but that's how it appears to me.

This doesn't make me mad -- just makes me SMH. He's still in my feed on Instagram from when I followed him after the team acquired him -- he's been quiet there for many moons. I saw a video post and thought maybe he'd be talking about his timeline to return, even vaguely. Nope. He wants to put the mouse potatoes on blast. Idiot.

These are par for the course instagram things being posted. It's a self indulgent app and to expect anything less than self indulgence from it is wasting your time. He's not doing anything out of the ordinary in that medium. It's certainly understandable if it's not to your personal tastes, but don't go to a twilight movie and be upset there isn't enough gritty crime drama. This is what you'll get with Instagram on a regular basis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what you'll get with Instagram on a regular basis. I'm well familiar with what Instagram is all about. My reaction to this content has little to do with whether he was being self-indulgent. In my view, the part of his personality that impels him to put the Insta trolls on blast is the same personality trait that leads him into bar room skirmishes at 3:00 a.m. I've already all but written the guy off. And yet, there I was -- holding out hope that he'd show some sign of growth or change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a sign of growth or change won't be found anywhere, but it's not going to be found on instagram. Furthermore: Standard, commonplace Instagram behaviour being exhibited does not necessarily imply that no growth has happened. Those sort of posts are the socially accepted norm in that avenue, and Kane's Instagram behaviour in this case is exceptionally ordinary. You don't like him. You've admitted as such and that's completely your call. But if you are hoping to see evidence of growth or change on his instagram account, I still say you are barking up the wrong tree.

qwksndmonster Posted November 8, 2016 Report Share Posted November 8, 2016 That video made me cringe hard. I can see it from Evander's POV too, though, as I'm sure his video of lip syncing rap got a slew of racist-driven internet trolling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree that all content on Instagram is as homogeneous as you're saying it is. Like many users, Kane posts a wide variety of stuff on his account - even content providing updates on how he's doing with a recovery from an injury. https://www.instagram.com/p/9V_L63TN5q/ That's one of the rumors going around.

It might have been Die by the Blade or WGR or one of those FB feeds. It cited sources I think, but I don't know if it was a new thing or if it was just rehashing the earlier rumors. It mentioned that because Minnesota has less that $1m of cap space, taking on Evander would have to be a "real hockey trade" and the Sabres would have to get about $5m of salary back. The rumor identified Pommer and one of their D (I think) as potential trade bait from the Minne side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
