I just think Buffalo assumes a lot more risk than Winnipeg.

Will Kane rebound after the surgery, or is his new ceiling being a 40-50 point player that is injury prone?

Will Kane turnaround his snotty attitude and not cause grief among his teammates?

Will he sign long term when his contract is up in 3 seasons even if he does rebound?

Myers and Bogosian are pretty much a wash IMO.

Stafford is a decent boost for now (Kane was out for the rest of the season and it gives them a warm body for now).

Armia, Lemieux and that 1st rounder are great lottery tickets for the Jets to potentially hit a home run with this deal. If Kane is gone in 3 seasons and the futures that Winnipeg received pan out, Buffalo is going to look terrible for taking this deal.
