Rich Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 Chatter on Twitter this morning is that the talks between Winnipeg and Buffalo for Kane are really heating up. It may be spiteful, but I'd much prefer to see Kane get traded to a rebuilding team like Buffalo then get rewarded and traded to a contending team in the off season. Of course the best deal for the Jets trumps all that.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jpan85 Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 Wonder if they would keep Myers or flip him for a young forward with contract./ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 Buffalo has a unique ability to help us today and in the future. Their prospect pool is insane. I'd take any one of Zadorov, Armia or Grigorenko. In that order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweep the leg Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 Lawless thinks the Coyotes want in on Kane right now too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Pop Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 Urgh... I hope Chevy doesn't get too enticed by what Buff is offering. *If* the rumoured packages being offered are true... 1st, prospect (Armeia, Grigorenko?), Stafford/Stewart... imagine what the offers would be like come the draft! Personally, I think the "we won't get as much for Kane now" worries may have been a bit overblown (especially given the whole Kane scenario is so fresh). Bottom line, how serious can you consider offers from 1 (maybe 2 or 3 teams tops) now vs 29 other teams at Draft Day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Unknown Poster Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 The good news is hearing about a team like Buffalo almost desperately wanting Kane and then you hear Arizona is in on it too. That indicates teams bidding each other up. I would suspect that the Jets have guys they want and will make the deal THEY want even if we fans disagree. Like someone else said, spiteful maybe but I'd rather send Kane to Buffalo than Arizona. Though the attitude in Arizona would probably to make Kane a better player. I would assume he'd be looking to get out of Buffalo at his earliest convenience though the Sabres have money so watch him sign a massive contract in three years. If it's Tyler Myres I'd think we add a D to the deal. I think someone else suggested something like Kane, Burmi, Postma for Stafford, Armia, Myres, 1st. Could we sweeten the pot slightly and get Stafford AND Stewart, giving us a big help this year? if we land Myres without a major D going the other way it means someone is getting traded this summer (like Bogo). On the other hand, would we swap Bogo right now? He's from Buffalo. Kane/Bogo for Myres+???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 If Myers and Kane are traded in the same deal, I can't see it not being a three way trade. I think. I don't know. THIS IS CRAZY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweep the leg Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 Washington with big interest too, according to Lawless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bottom line, how serious can you consider offers from 1 (maybe 2 or 3 teams tops) now vs 29 other teams at Draft Day. It depends. If the Jets have a price and a team meets it, why wait? You cant discount the potential of desperation. Bob McKenzie basically said this too when he said Vancouver would be very interested this summer but if they *really* want Kane, they might have to give their best offer right now. So if teams really covet Kane and feel the Jets are likely to deal now (for help this year) then they gotta do what they gotta do. Would Vancouver risk losing a player they really want because they think they're a playoff team right now? To what end, to lose in the first round? if they want to subscribe to the "anything can happen in the playoffs" mentality, imagine getting to May and having a healthy Kane come off the IR... Also, Im sure those teams interested have told the Jets what they'd be willing to do this summer. The Jets will know if they should wait or not. If they get a sweetheart deal now, take it. a team like Buffalo is likely happier to be moving assets for an injured player. The last thing they want is to trade their assets for other assets that help them win games right now. Losing Stafford/Stewart/Myres for someone that isnt playing and you have to replace those guys with AHL'ers? Perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted February 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 Thing is if we get Myers there is a huge glut of RH d men. So something has to give. Bogo and Myers are about the same age and similar contract. One year less on Myers but his contract was front loaded so his later years are cheaper then his cap hit. Myers probably has an edge offensively. The X factor is his size. He is like 6'6 or 6'7. But right now weighs about the same as Bogo. People have long wondered if he cal fill out does he become a Chara. Chara wasn't the player he is today until 27 / 28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted February 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 Just to add. If Bogo is going with Kane. There has to be a whole lot more then Myers coming back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goalie Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 Could be enstrom too. I know he's our number 1 LHD but he leaves a lot to be desired and his age don't fit. If a goalie involved we get one back. Enroth or Neuvirth Maybe Frolik moves too cuz he's not signed yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jpan85 Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 If its Bogo and Kane. You think it has to be Myers, 1st round pick, top prospect plus a rental player or 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Unknown Poster Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 Myers is 6'8", 227 Bogo is 6'3", 215 Myers is considered a great skater, can play in any situation and has offensive upside. They are both 1990 birthdays. Very intriguing. I would strongly suspect if its multiple players with Myers in the mix that it has to be Bogo being talked about. Too obvious with it being Buffalo (essentially Bogo's hometown). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jpan85 Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 If they move Kane and Bogo out they would have some cap room now to sign a Frolik or get Buff an extension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
