Jets & Sabres pull of a BLOCKBUSTER

Today the Winnipeg Jets sent Evander Kane packing. And rightly so. Evander Kane is a mess. He's causing problems in the locker room and frankly, he's not producing enough on the ice. He gets a fresh start (which might be good for him) with the worst team in the league. 

Here's how the trade finalized: 
Winnipeg Jets
Winnipeg Jets acquires:
  • Tyler Myers 25yrs old, 14 pts
  • Drew Stafford 29yrs old, 24 pts
  • Joel Armia (prospect 2nd rd in 2014)
  • Brendan Lemieux (prospect 1st rd in 2011)
  • 1st-round pick (2015)


Buffalo Sabres
Buffalo Sabres acquires:
  • Evander Kane 23yrs old, 25 pts
  • Zach Bogosian 24yrs old, 13 pts 
  • Jason Kasdorf (goalie prospect)





I feel so bad for Zach Bogosian going from Winnipeg to Buffalo. He’s the guy who got messed because of E.Kane’s stupidity. 

Tyler Myers must be thrilled to get out of Buffalo and heading to a Canadian city to play hockey. 

And how in the world did Winnipeg work out at trade that included a 1st round pick? Great trade for the Jets. Jets fans should be pumped to about this trade. 

I doubt E.Kane lives up to his potential. 

At this moment the Jets are playoff bound and with this trade I think it basically guarantee’s a playoff birth. Stafford is a physical forward who will do well with the playoff physicality. I’m shocked that Winnipeg got this much in return. 

Of course, I could be wrong but I doubt it.
