Sad to Bogosian go - classy hard working player that Jets really didn't want to part with. If he stays healthy he could anchor the Sabre's defense. Great piece for a young team.
Kane is a stud athlete that plays a heavy game. He's strong, fast, and has a pretty decent shot. He does lack hockey sense but other parts of his game make up for portions of that. Emotionally he's a huge bag of shit. He's a cancer in the locker room and the Jets have been attempting to get rid of him for over 3 years. Unless he grows up fast he's a terrible guy to have around any team and especially a young growing team like the Sabres.
