Buffalo says no way, A first rd pick, good prospect or young NHL er and a conditional pick if Kane resigns. That's the price.

Sabres arent trading Kane for a cap dump. If your team is having cap issues the sabres can retain half his salary. If you want to dump cap youll have to pay the sabres for that too

Philly is barely treading water here, No way is Buffalo dealing Evander Kane to Philly.

Guys, Morin is the point of the deal. He's an NHL ready d-man.

I like this a lot!! I see why Buf want more and rightly so we would say no to that trade if it was for Simmonds, got to pay the same price for Kane as we would expect for Simmonds so here is my counter offer:

Kane to Philly for Weal, leberge, 2018 1st round pick and 2019 3rd round pick (becomes 2nd round if kane resigns).

I would then trade Filppula to a contender wanting depth down the middle possibly 50% retained for highest pick possible maybe a 2nd in 18 and 4th in 19.

Call up Lindblom for 3rd line LW and move Raffl to center
