I happen to know someone very close to the Canucks netminder. That never panned out. What can you do?

Take with a grain of salt.

so who is this person you speak of as being close to his family?

After watching the Kane highlights, the most appealing thing is that he is a legitimate threat to score on the rush. This is a pretty rare quality to have and it adds a dimension that I do not think the Flames are particularly strong in.
He also appears to be a very difficult guy to move from the front of the net. If the Flames are serious about making a run in the west, adding the attributes that Kane brings make a lot of sense to approach the playoffs.
Now, the price might be too high or maybe the risk of locker room discord might be too great for it to make sense, but I think the skillset is very intriguing.
Gaudreau
Monahan
Tkachuk
Backlund
Kane
Frolik
Ferland
Bennett
Jankowski
That's a pretty impressive top 9.

Cannot disclose. Now that I am familiar with the forum rules, i will refrain from making any assertions that look like fact. I will do one better any not say anything else as it pertains to a trade with the Sabres as a sign of good faith.

True. Although handedness for forwards ranks somewhere below height in terms of importance for me. Many other things to look at before worrying about that.

What your proposing would not even get you Kane, let alone ROR and Nylander on top.

I think this year shows where the cancer really lies. It's not with Taylor Hall.

If Bennett + Fox isn't enough to get Kane, I'd stay far away.

I don't think a trade around Bennett or Jankowski or even Ferland is crazy depending on the pieces coming back (Okposo, ROR as the centrepiece with salary retained). No idea what that might look like...

Okposo is awful, and is a Bobby Ryan level salary dump.
