The trade is one-for-one and it’s not a win for Vancouver. Evander Kane looks like a downgrade.
Kane is probably better than his underlying numbers give him credit for and he was a noticeable force during the playoffs … aside from his penalty box parade, of course. He brings a different element to Vancouver’s top six and should add some offensive pop. But it would’ve been nice to see the Canucks retain Pius Suter on top of that. If it was either or, Vancouver made a questionable choice — especially when factoring for position.
