Kane traded to San Jose for a Cond. ‘19 1st, Dan O’ Regan and Conditional 4th

[woods-racer]

Hate on Botts all you want.

 

But what is really sad is Gorges, Lehner, Molson, Bogo are still here, because they're not worth a bag of pucks. Lot of fixing to do for GMJB and wasn't going to happen with this trade.

Here's the condition of the first-round 2019 pick in the Evander Kane deal: if the Sharks re-sign Kane, it's a first; but if Kane walks into free agency, it's a second-round pick in 2019

 

Ok, this trade sucks.

 

 

UGH !

This sucks

[Brawndo]

Now the deal sucks

So I'm supposed to cut him slack for a garbage trade because he didn't make other garbage trades?

[Randall Flagg]

Wow, that's bad return. 

Tough to blame Botterill though, right? How would him being Lou make San Jose give up any more?

[darksabre]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

Feelin bad for everyone who got their hopes up.

[StuckinFL]

 

AND the condition is the Sharks re-signing him, not lottery. THIS SUX!

Ugh, what an absolutely terrible deal. Can we please just get a competent GM for once?

[Samson's Flow]

Peters and Rivet just said the condition on the 1st rounder is re-signing with SJS. Otherwise it is a 2nd rounder.

 

Well that really friggin sucks. Trade is now bad.

[MODO Hockey]

this deal is what we got for kane, did any1 expect any better? honestly?

Honestly for that price Jbot should have been willing to walk away. A second 2 drafts from now, an AHL player, and a 4th THREE drafts from now? Bye.

[SDS]

We can complain all day about it, but ultimately the only opinions that matter are the GM's 

 

$100 to your favorite charity if you can point out where I said "not to talk about it" in that sentence.

[Taro T]

I'd be happy to see this, but I think it's highly unlikely, esp. if it's true that the Sabres never approached him about an extension (as was reported in TBN today).

 

 

 

 

Just saw on twitter that a conditional pick can't be re-traded until the conditions are met -- so the Sabres can't trade it until SJ is eliminated from the lottery next season (if that is indeed the condition).

Had seen that about 3 weeks ago. Believe that if they hadn't spoken about what Kane was looking for next year by then, they wouldn't have bothered to do so in the interim. Really don't see why they wouldn't at least talk contract to see what he's looking for unless they REALLY don't want him moving forward.

Probably the best other offers included a guaranteed 2nd and not a conditional 1st. 

[Doohickie]

How much you wanna bet that Kane signs with the Sabres on July 1, 2018?

 

That would make the deal more palatable.

[Frieda]

Danny O Reagan is the prospect

If they throw in a shillelagh for me I'm in!  :flirt:

[dudacek]

OK, so we got a second-rounder and a 24-year-old minor leaguer?

Not happy

[Eleven]

First, the way the trade was originally articulated was misleading.

 

It's a 2019 pick, not 2018.  It's a conditional second, not a conditional first.

 

This is just a bad deal.  Botterill was had.

[GASabresIUFAN]

Complete fail! We basically traded Kane for a small forward with decent AHL numbers, aka Smith, Griffith or Wilson at best.

[Samson's Flow]

Wasn't O'Regan the third best player on the BU line? And we complain about Erod on the Sabres at all.

 

O'Regan isn't a prospect. He's almost 25 ffs.

[darksabre]

It's right on the line for me. The conditional first makes it tolerable.

[matter2003]

It's almost like Kane isn't that valuable.

Half the teams in the NHL probably don't want anything to do with him due to his attitude/reputation/off ice stuff whether its fair or not...when you are limiting the number of potential suitors you are also limiting his worth

[Doctor of Philhousley]

First is a lotto ticket even if it is next year and so is the prospect. I'd, of course, prefer the haul obtained for Nash but it certainly isn't nothing for a few months of Kane. Either one of those has a reasonable chance of becoming a long term player in exchange for Kane (who obviously would not have been).

Exactly.
