Weave Posted June 24, 2017 Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 So..... nobody that we know can actually play the position at a high level. Seems like a good idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GASabresIUFAN Posted June 24, 2017 Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 (edited) So..... nobody that we know can actually play the position at a high level. Seems like a good idea. When has Kane out performed Anisimov on a consistent basis? Kane top level may be higher, but he hasn't performed to it.Anisimov has average over 40 pts a season in his career with a low of 36 pts in a full season (other then rookie year) and a high of 45. Kane has a high of 57 pts, 6 years ago, and had his 2nd best season of 43 pts last year and he can't stay healthy. Please don't give me the bs that Anisimov played with Kane and Toews. He performed at a similar level with the Rags and Cbs and they didn't have Toews and Kane. Kane played with ROR and Eichel.

I'm assuming a Kane for Anisimov type deal. Edited June 24, 2017 by GASabresFan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudacek Posted June 24, 2017 Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 Kane is a better player in a position of more need. Pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, even good teams go into the season with question marks at positions, relying on unproven and cheap help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GASabresIUFAN Posted June 24, 2017 Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 (edited) Kane is a better player in a position of more need. Pass. Anisimov plays both LW and center, and while Kane maybe the more talented player and he has not performed to that talent level. Anisimov, over the last 2 years : 141gm 42g 45a 87pts Kane, over the last 2 years: 135gm 48g, 30a 78pts The other benefit is Anisimov is signed for 4 more season at 4.5 per season Kane has one year left at 5.75 and if Jbot is working so hard to trade him then I have to assume Kane said he won't re-sign here.

dudacek Posted June 24, 2017 Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 (edited) So I know Brayden Schenn scores more points than Kane, but Kane scores just as many goals and in my view brings a lot more other elements to his game. Schenn is a year younger and has two years left on a slightly smaller contract. I'd say the same about Jordan Eberle, who is a year older and has two years left on a slightly bigger contract. Given the returns of those two players, does the board think a 2nd and a B prospect is all we'd get for Kane?

Rasmus_ Posted June 24, 2017 Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 I can see a Kane/Scandella scenario going down this weekend. Yuck. I am so not a fan of his game. He's also been extremely "unlucky / injury prone" the past few seasons. I'd only move him there for Brodin or Dumba plus. No thank you on Scandella! But, that's just my jaded opinion.

Brawndo Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 Kings continue to search hard for a top-line winger. Their goal is to bring one in soon, preferably a LW. Per David Pagnotta Dennis Bernstein From one team executive: Stay Away “He’s the guy everyone in the locker room hates. As much as he is skilled, you’re talking about issues, maybe if you have a strong room, but I would not move a significant asset for him because he will stir the pot with his teammates. He’s the Jeremy Giambi of hockey; I wouldn’t give more than a third-round pick for him... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Flagg Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 That team executive is probably Chevy from Winnipeg lol. Has there been a single whisper about Kane being a locker room problem here? I've heard far more about Sam/Jack than Kane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he really is that difficult to move I wonder if that would give us leverage in a contract extension negotiation? Would be kind of awkward though; um Evander, we couldn't trade you cause other GMs think youre a bad locker room presence. How about 4x5 and call it a day lol.

I can only think of SJ that fits the criteria of strong room, win now, can afford him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GASabresIUFAN Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 It's going to have to be a team with a strong leadership group. Chicago, Bos and Pitt come to mind. Maybe LA with Brown, Kopitar and Carter. I remember when Bobby Bonilla and Gary Sheffield came to the Braves with similar reputations. Smoltz, Chipper, Glavine and Maddux explained to them how things worked in the Braves clubhouse and both were actually excellent on and off the field here.
