Rumor: Kane headed back West?

Another day, another Evander Kane trade rumor. This time it appears as though the Vancouver Canucks may be wading back into trade talks for the 26-year-old power forward.

Fans may recall that Canucks GM Jim Benning aggressively pursued Kane a couple years ago and according to a report from Mark Easson, the Canucks have renewed interest in the local boy:

The Canucks and Sabres talked a lot about Evander Kane. Ben Hutton‘s name came up in those talks. Would Hutton and Nikolay Goldobin interest the Sabres?

So, Kane for Ben Hutton and Nikolay Goldobin? That’s a whopper of a deal. Kane has legit 30+ goal potential, but maybe Goldobin is capable of similar numbers down the road? And Hutton has developed into a steady and reliable top four defenseman with the ability to put up 30 points.

If this deal goes down, it’ll be scrutinized for years in both Vancouver and Buffalo. Who wins?
