Rumor: Buffalo Interested in Patrick Kane?

[WildCard]

I mean, financially it makes sense. Reinhart would fit that team to a tee, they could shed money, and they'd love to get their hands on the #8 overall pick. We can offer them more than the Devils by a mile too
 
The question is, would you do it? Kane is only getting older, and although we wouldn't have to pay Reinhart anymore, we still have to pay Jack. This also means Evander Kane is definitely moving somewhere
 
Kane will be 29 this November, and is coming off the best two seasons of his career.

Incarcerated Bob has been known to have good sources.

**NHL RUMORS**
Source: Patty Kane very available, teams like #Devils #Hurricanes #Sabres
have all called. Devils have that #1 pick though

Although I doubt the third team wants the headache.

 
 

Very connected with NYC Teams, but gets info across all the major leagues.

Had Okposo to Buffalo before anyone else did

That escalated quickly.

[Lanny]

So we're assuming Reinhart and 8 overall is the price?

[WildCard]

That escalated quickly.

It's the offseason, and as crazy as it sounds at first, Chicago moving Kane makes a ton of sense for them, and everyone else. It also coincides with everything we've been hearing about this offseason, and about how angry Bowman was about Chicago being swept in the first round 

So we're assuming Reinhart and 8 overall is the price?

I'd assume that's the foundation for a package

Lets hope its Kane for Kane

Where did the rumor come from?

How does moving the guy actually earning his paycheck make a ton of sense for them? Unless they get back a center than can drop Toews to #2, I don't see how they can get a return to help them compete now, and any futures return will be too late as Keith, Hossa, and Toews all age out.

He's the only one with value, and they're cap is screwed. They, like everyone else besides us in the hockey universe, probably believe Toews is still worth the money.

but why would they trade Patrick?

Incarcerated Bob is the source?

I don't know if that's his real name or if d4rk was joking honestly

[I-90 W]

If we ever see P Kane in buffalo I think it will be in the twilight of his career. Awesome to think about but I don't see it happening. Though we still don't have a feel for how JB is going to structure this team.

[WildCard]

“I think there’s going to be a bomb or two in this one, I really do,” Friedman told the 960 crew. “I think we’re going to have some things hit us that we’re not expecting.”

 

Buckle up.

 

“The other thing too is Chicago is hosting the draft,” pointed out Friedman. “I think they’re trying to move up. I think Chicago is not satisfied. I mean, I almost laugh at it. They’ve gone two whole years without winning a Stanley Cup. But that’s why they’re the organization they are. They’re in it to win it every year and I think they’re going to try some things.

There is someone who goes by Incarcerated Bob on twitter.  He's very, umm, controversial.  Google his user name if you've got the time.

Trading away your top guy while you're hosting a draft that doesn't have any of the big name prospects of previous years is probably not the kind of splash I'd want to make.  I think it would anger more fans than it would please.

[WildCard]

Kane's contract runs for 4 more years, until he's 33, with a $10.5M cap hit annually 

[GASabresIUFAN]

Why it's the annual P Kane to Buffalo rumor.  LOL.  Not happening.  Botterill isn't giving up Sam and our top pick for Kane.  He is not going to add a high paid star player near 30 at the expense of the core of the franchise.  We did enough of that stuff under TM.  Jbot is going to finally build the team correctly. 

[WildCard]

If you look at these tweets, he appears to be right about quite a bit (Subban, Hall to the Devils, Brassard, etc)

What core pieces did TM trade? 

[tom webster]

I don't know if Kane is coming to Buffalo, but I do know;

 

1) He has expressed interest as late as last summer in finishing his career here and was concerned that his last mis-step could have hurt those chances.

2) Management in Buffalo has floated the possibility

3) The Sabres are worried about a significant drop in ticket sales this year

Yeah....

 

That's him though. 

Could Botterill be trying to re-create the Crosby-Malkin model with Eichel-Kane? 

 

 

[That Aud Smell]

I know the move would probably not make sense on a lot of levels. BUT -- watching Eichel dish to Kane for a few years while the latter is still in his prime would be SWEET.

[Lanny]

I think it's interesting that many of the vets that Murray traded away are likely to be exposed by the team they went to in the expansion draft.
