I've only watched a few jets game, but whenever i do, i find myself amazed at how good kane is for his age.
I think the jets would be a bit foolish in letting him go so soon. Jets have some decent vets, and some high end prospects at C (sheifele, petan, etc), and D (trouba, morrisey). If they can get better goaltending and scoring depth (specifically that 2nd line) i think they can ride out this mediocracy (not rebuilding, not a playoff team) and contend in a few years.
I also think jokinen should go. the guy can play, but is not a winner in this league. If i were GM, only way i even talk about moving kane is if i can get an upgrade at the goaltending position, ideally a guy just entering his prime.
