Kane's playing with perreault and frolik might have something to do with lack of points

Kulemin is with JT and KO and he hasn't been amazing up there

- chriscmc


Kane's centers have been Antropov, Wellwood and Jokinen, not exactly top flight set up men. He's still young and learning the game but he has his alleged attitude problems but I think once he puts it together he's going to be dangerous.

Please don't compare the 2 bc KO isn't even close to E. Kane.....

You think Kane is better than Okposo?

Rofl, no sir. But I don't see Kane as elite and I don't think he's got a team first attitude. I think he's a 25 goal 50 point winger who gets hurt fairly often and I'm not interested.

Winnipeg would be asking for more than he's worth. I'd take Eberle over Kane and I'm not sure I'd deal Reinhart for Eberle.

Problem with eberle is his 6 mil cap hit and he doesn't play defense from what I've heard. Kane is younger and can play D

Ebs is a great producer but he is a lazy backchecker. Kane is good at everything but not great at any one thing. Both fill different needs in a top 6 role.

Yeah. Kane will score 30 goals in his prime but he isn't a set-up guy or a pure sniper. He is a North/South player who will go the hard areas and can burn most defenders 1 on 1.

On JT's wing, kid could be a 40-50g

I'd be perfectly okay with a 30 goal scorer, and a guy who can go to the hard areas that would help that line alot

Wow! I like Kane but I just don't think he stacks up to Okposo right now, maybe when he hits his prime.

Kane's best season is 30g - 27a - 57pts
Okposo's best season is 27g - 42a - 69pts

I love Kane's game I was just trying to illustrate the difference in Ebs and him.

Simply put, who's KO played with in comparison to Kane? It took KO 6yrs to have 1 legitimate season, Kane plays with who again??? Kane has produced being on a lousy Winnipeg team which he is the focal point from the opposition. I could keep going but I'll stop .....

Okposo kept producing even when JT when down. Kane has played with scrubs but on the second line and against 2nd tier defenses. The Ladd-Little-Wheeler line is number 1 there.

I'm a die hard fan but sorry not a fan of his, personally I think he's overrated by most and in 6yrs had 1 consistent season and others think he's turned the corner but hasn't been displaying the same type of play of last year, shat, he actually looks better on Fran's line which is considered the 2nd or 3rd line.... I don't like his game and NEVER will......

Here's a shocker, hope Snow trade's him.....

Ok so 1 legitimate season anoints KO? who cares what the lines are in Winnipeg but not so sure he's been regulated to 2nd line in most/majority of his ice time. Currently the Jets feel that Scheifele is and will be a 1 C and believe Kane plays with him currently, but not sure....

Kane gets the short end of the stick here in Winnipeg. He gets all the crap players and Scheifele might be 1C but for now the Ladd line is #1. Also Kane has only had 1 good season.

Bc of a lousy team and no players to play with, am I correct on that? He's the focal point from any opposing team bc he could change the game w/his speed & skill. If Kane played on a better team, his production will be much better.

If his own team doesn't see him as a top line forward when they don't have a ton of top tier talent then I'm not really interested. With his attitude, no thanks.
