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....

Myers actual pay will be about half of Bogosian's b/c of his big upfront money.

LIVE on TSN3, TSN.ca and TSN GO at 12:30pm et: @NHLJets GM Cheveldayoff to discuss @EKane9JETS trade. #TradeCentre

 

 

They haven't updated it but apparently the press conference will start at 11:45 CT, not 11:30.

Myers is a cap hit of 5.5M

 

He makes $5M this year and next.  Then goes down to 4, 3.5 and 3.

 

Bogo is a cap hit of 5.132M.  Makes $4M this year then up to 5.25, 5.25, 5.5 and 6

 

Kane is a cap hit of 5.25M. Makes $6M this year and the remaining years on his contract.

 

Stafford makes $4M this year.

 

 

Does this open up enough cash to re-sign Frolik?

Found Stafford $4million (Buffalo retains half)

 

Myers is $5.5 Million for three more years (expiring 2019).

 

Kane was $5.15 (real cash was $6 million)

 

Can't remember Bogo though.  But we likely saved a few million moving forward.

 

We also have the nice problem of a glut of prospects in the next 1-3 years (Ehlers, Petan, Copp, Lemiuex, Armia, Kossy).  and lets not forget Burmi.

 

if Stafford works out, I wouldnt be opposed to trying to resign him (and Frolik) too.

Bogo was that much?  wow.  Makes this deal look even better.

 

What I really like about this deal is its a so-called "hockey deal" that helps both teams.  it's an honest deal between these two GM's.  Kane is going to get the first line minutes he wants with a very talented center next season.  Bogo becomes their number 1 D man.  Buffalo as a top forward and top D to build around.  Good for them.

This is a big trade and I like it. Myers has big upside. Hate to see Bogo go but some suggest he may have wanted to be closer to home. Let's just say. Myers for Bogo is a wash. Kane gets us Stafford Armia lemieux and either st Louis or nyi first. We win this trade now and the future

And ... I hope Kane is happy in the wonderful metropolis of Buffalo 

 

Not that there is anything wrong with Buffalo, just have always got the feeling Kane wants to really be in one of the big cities.

Myers is here to stay. Jets don't move Bogo unless myers is here to stay. Ppl suggesting myers is moved are crazy. Jets wanted myers for a while

And ... I hope Kane is happy in the wonderful metropolis of Buffalo

What chance is there that Kane is still traded again?

What chance is there that Kane is out of the league in 5 years?

Yeah i wonder how he feels.  Thats about the worst place to go if you want to be in a big hip city.  But I guess its closer to home.  We'll see how he matures in three years.  He will have every opportunity there with some talented players (coming).  If he still goes to UFA in three years then it says everything about it.  We shall see.

 

Jets end up with a ton of cap space for next season.

Immediately? Doubt it. Perhaps maybe when he wears out his welcome/requests a trade - Whatever comes first.

Whoops, meant closer to big markets (like New York) lol  brainfart.

Trade is now complete and approved by the NHL.

 

Cormier sent down to St. Johns.  

 

Chevy about to address the media.

So those of you that peruse Buffalo forums, how's this going with their fans?  The little i've seen is, they dont like it as much as we do...and they hate losing those prospects, which is good for us.

Two replies in there so far LOL and they don't like the trade ...

Forget burmi.

Why would they. Chevy hosed them. Myers stafford at 2 million retained. 2 prospects and a 1st. That's crazy.

Walters zips up jacket, exits arena thru a side door, and heads back south to his office to sign more players.

Perhaps Evander Kane had visions of receiving Manitoba's Order of the Buffalo…...and this is the closest they could come, to accommodating him.

 

 

 

 

 

Well not to stir **** up but the rumour was that bogo and trouba were roommates and had drug related issues this season. Maybe this might of been a factor.

Good lord. Please think before typing. That was not a rumour. It was a post on the dirty. And it was wrong.

 

 

To be fair to Brandon (and I hate garbage rumors more than anyone, trust me) I heard the same thing from 3 different people in 3 different settings. That said, I still think it's utter BS.

UPDATE: Evander Kane will arrive in Buffalo ASAP, followed by the cargo plane carrying his baggage.

Word is Buffalo has a burgeoning track suit industry ...
