Sabres Deal With Wild

Created by: mikeyscav
Team: 2016-17 Buffalo Sabres
Initial Creation Date: Nov. 10, 2016
Published: Nov. 10, 2016
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
This deal involves Kane. Before anything is said about his off-ice behavior, he has been on record saying that he realizes he needs to put himself in a better situations off the ice and seems like he may finally be growing up. Plus his possession numbers, speed, big body style in the top-6, and shooting makes him a piece most teams would like to acquire at a reasonable cap hit. I'm going off the rumor of Buffalo and Wild (for the 500th time) talking trade and they look poised to move one of their LHD a piece Buffalo could use.

This deal would be completed around the trade deadline. Comments are appreciated!

From a BUF view, it's just so hard to give up on Kane's raw ability. Brodin is a fine player but can't match Kane at the top of his game. If you aren't going to get top talent back, you may want to consider getting top prospects and using the immediate cap savings on a goalie.

Horrible trade for Minny.

Kane had one good year, the rest he's 20g (being generous) top-6 wing, and overpaid by $1m. Legal troubles, reported locker room issues (Jets), and he'll miss ~20g per year. He has more value to Buf than any other team right now.

When was the last time "Kane in the ass" did anything positive? He's a negative asset.

If I were the Wild the only player I am giving up is Pommenville. Kane has way too many red flags and has never lived up to his potential. Pomm/Kane's contracts are nearly identical with Kane having 1 less year on the deal. Noway I give up a proven DMan for a player with so many question marks.
