LeBrun on TSN:

What’s the price for Kane?
With the Buffalo Sabres on track to miss the playoffs for the seventh year in a row, an Evander Kane trade seems likely. But how high is the Sabres’ asking price?

Pierre LeBrun: If the Sabres have their way, it will be a first-round pick, plus a prospect, plus potentially a conditional pick in case he signs with that new team. Now, I don’t think there’s a firm timeline on when the Sabres plan to move Evander Kane. It will most likely be near the deadline. But if a team is ready to pay that price this month, so be it, the Sabres will move him. What’s happening though is a number of teams that have shown interest in Kane are also saying we don’t know if we’re going to be buyers, we have to play out this month, get to the All-Star break, and then we’ll know. So I think there’s a holding pattern.
