February 11, 201510 yr comment_107618 Three years left on Myers. Stafford is a pending UFA. Armia is in his last year of his rookie deal.
February 11, 201510 yr comment_107619 Myers actual pay will be about half of Bogosian's b/c of his big upfront money.
February 11, 201510 yr comment_107620 SportsCentre ✔ @SportsCentre 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.
February 11, 201510 yr Author comment_107621 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?
February 11, 201510 yr comment_107622 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.

February 11, 201510 yr comment_107624 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? 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.
February 11, 201510 yr comment_107625 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
February 11, 201510 yr Author comment_107626 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.
February 11, 201510 yr comment_107628 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
February 11, 201510 yr comment_107630 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. What chance is there that Kane is still traded again?

February 11, 201510 yr comment_107633 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. 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.

What chance is there that Kane is still traded again? Immediately? Doubt it. Perhaps maybe when he wears out his welcome/requests a trade - Whatever comes first.

February 11, 201510 yr Author comment_107638 Trade is now complete and approved by the NHL. Cormier sent down to St. Johns. Chevy about to address the media.
February 11, 201510 yr comment_107639 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.

Why would they. Chevy hosed them. Myers stafford at 2 million retained. 2 prospects and a 1st. That's crazy.
February 11, 201510 yr comment_107647 Walters zips up jacket, exits arena thru a side door, and heads back south to his office to sign more players.
February 11, 201510 yr comment_107652 Perhaps Evander Kane had visions of receiving Manitoba's Order of the Buffalo…...and this is the closest they could come, to accommodating him.
February 11, 201510 yr comment_107659 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.
February 11, 201510 yr comment_107668 randy turner ✔ @randyturner15 UPDATE: Evander Kane will arrive in Buffalo ASAP, followed by the cargo plane carrying his baggage.
