What are the latest trade rumors surrounding Evander Kane and the Dallas Stars?
On February 20th, here's the latest surrounding the Dallas Stars. Dallas Stars fans are buzzing as the NHL trade deadline approaches on March 6th. With the Stars facing the Vancouver Canucks in Vancouver on March 2nd, eyes are on Vancouver's fire sale. The Canucks sit dead last in the league with just 42 points through 57 games, seven points behind St. Louis. Stars general manager Jim Neal wants to add forward depth and odds favor Canucks winger landing in Dallas.
Why are Dallas Stars fans divided over the potential acquisition of Kane?
The top target is Vancouver's Evander Kane, a 16-year veteran with Stanley Cup final experience. Reports show Starr's interest in the physical forward, who brings strong underlying stats even on the league's worst team. He's a pending unrestricted free agent, so any deal would be short-term. Kane's shooting luck is down at 6.6%, but his size could fill a gap for Dallas.
What factors contribute to Kane's appeal despite his controversies?
Starr's fans on social media aren't thrilled about Kane, though. His history of controversies and legal issues turns many off, and this is his worst scoring season since 2015-16. Still, general managers around the league see value in his playoff pedigree and positive possession numbers. Other Canucks like center Elias Pedersen are off the table.
He's talented but overpaid at $11.6 million through 2030, and Dallas doesn't need another center with Jason Robertson in the fold.
Which other Vancouver Canucks players are being considered for trade?
Winger Connor Garland has goal-scoring upside, but a tough six-year deal starting at $6 million next year.
Depth Center's David Kampf and Teddy Bluger are Olympic veterans hitting free agency, but the stars have plenty there already. For now, it's the Kane show when it comes to Vancouver and Dallas. Will he suit up at American Airlines Center before the deadline? We'll keep you posted as talks heat up next week.
Will Evander Kane join the Dallas Stars before the trade deadline?
