Kane has never exceeded 30 goals in a season. I grant you that he is on pace to do so in Buffalo this year. I am skeptical that he would continue that on a different team where there is actual pressure to win. At present, he has nothing to play for besides running up his counting stats to make him a more attractive free agent.

Imo Wotherspoon is having a solid season and so is Anderson.

In the AHL. Neither of them has proven that he can play top-4 in the NHL. Wotherspoon hasn't proved that he is anything more than a tweener.

Im sure BT would only do a trade like that if he knew an extension would be in place.

At what price? If I'm Kane, I don't sign an extension with anyone. I let it ride until the end of the season and cash in on July 1 – unless somebody offers me a long-term deal at $6 million or more. This particular year, Kane is playing like a $6 million guy. He's never done that before and may never do it again.
The last thing I want is for this team to trade a key player in exchange for the next Gary Leeman.
