Monday Morning Mockery: NHL "News"


Canucks Walked Away From Potential Trade for Evander Kane
Apparently, the deal involving Kane in exchange for Bo Horvat and All-You-Can-Eat Sushi for life was blocked by the Greater Vancouver Restaurateurs Association.

Is It Fair to Compare Marner to Kane?
Patrick Kane, in this case.
No, it is not.
Two months ago the Toronto hacks still believed Marner was too small, and played even smaller than that, not quick enough and, given the wealth of young talent on The Leafs' roster, highly unlikely to displace Matthews, Nylander et al for the few spots available for untested rookies. Good for Marner for rising above being constantly measured and found wanting.
But Patrick Kane he is not and it's a silly question to consider only 20 games into Marner's career. Facebook isn't the only source for Fake News, I guess.
