At this rate, Evander Kane is going to have to become that 50-goal scorer he pegged himself to be.

Or else this will go down as the most lopsided trade the Winnipeg Jets have ever made.

As much as I initially said the deal that brought Tyler Myers and Drew Stafford here from Buffalo was tilted heavily in the Jets’ favour, I didn’t expect this.
