Twitter Reaction: Jets deal Kane to Sabres

Given the bargaining position Kevin Cheveldayoff was working from with Evander Kane, that's an extremely solid return.

Sabres increase their odds of landing McDavid or Eichel — and will have Kane on the wing.

The Buffalo Sabres win more trades than games.

Ugh. Bad move Jets. Great deal for the Sabres. They get worse this year & better long term. Oilers are dealing with a master tank commander.

Very excited to be apart of the @NHLJets franchise! Can't wait for training camp #Jets

In Buffalo, they call tracksuits "evening wear"

Dear Evander, welcome to Buffalo. These are for you. pic.twitter.com/xnzjP4L8it

Biggest Sabres – Jets trade since the Housley for Hawerchuk blockbuster 25 years ago.

I'm 100% on board with that deal. Myers, Staff, Armia, Lemieux+1st for Kane and Bogosian.

— Matthew Coller (@MatthewWGR) February 11, 2015

Even given the stance of some prospects turn into rejects, Joel Armia and Brendan Lemieux have legit talent. That's a lot to give up.

Why can't you trade injured players in video games but you can in real life!? #Jets #Sabres

Kevin Cheveldayoff became Jets GM in 2011 but waited until 2014 to make his first player for player trade. And now today? Wow.

Interested to see post-trade quotes from Tim Murray. Will he admit, or partially admit, to waving the Tank You Very Much flag?

— John Matisz (@MatiszJohn) February 11, 2015

Fully expect Tim Murray to next deal Chris Stewart for the negotiating rights to Pat Elynuik. #Sabres #Jets #TankTankTank

Once this trade goes through, Patrick Kaleta will become the longest tenured member of the buffalo #sabres (6/27/04).

Tyler Myers first few steps hold him back. Has to improve that as a defenseman to be more effective.

— Gus Katsaros (@KatsHockey) February 11, 2015

It will be fascinating to see how Myers does in Winnipeg. We’ll get to see just how much of his struggles are circumstance based.

Sabres just got Kane, now all we need is the undertaker for the best duo in the NHL.
