At this point, it’s only a matter of time before Evander Kane and the Winnipeg Jets part ways.

The last two days have been full of turmoil for Kane. According to Chris Johnston of Rogers SportsNet, Kane skipped Tuesday’s game against the Vancouver Canucks after an incident with teammates. He missed the teams bus en route to the Jets-Canucks matchup and also violated team rules when he wore a track suit to the team meeting prior to Tuesday’s matchup at Rogers Arena.

On Thursday, Kane was placed on IR – retroactively – but there’s a lot of suspicion to why. And at this point, it’s safe to assume that the 23-year old forward has wore out his welcome in Winnipeg.

“I’m sure you have rules at your household,” Dustin Byfuglien told the Winnipeg Free Press. “And if the kids don’t stick to it, you’ve got to discipline them for it.”

Kane has been playing with shoulder pain throughout the 2014-15 season, and his reported frustration could be evident. Whether he gets shoulder surgery or not remains to be seen, but the enigmatic forward at this rate would benefit from a change of scenery. The Jets, for that matter, would also benefit in a potential trade.

In the past, the Bruins were one of the teams to have interest in Kane. With the recent incident, that speculation seems to grow.

At 6-foot-2 and 200 pounds, Kane fits the Bruins mold. But Peter Chiarelli would have to move some pieces to accommodate his $5.25 million cap hit. The B’s have under $1 million in cap space and their defensive depth perhaps is a bigger issue that Chiarelli and company will need to address during the trade deadline.

If the Jets aren’t able to move Kane at the trade deadline, then the Bruins could certainly revisit this deal. But Dougie Hamilton, Reilly Smith, Torey Krug and Carl Soderberg are all due contract extensions at the end of the 2014-15 season, and they already have $55 million committed to 12 players next year. That, along with next year’s cap projection of $71-$73 million would make it a little difficult to fit Kane in.

But if Kane is still on the market during the off-season, he could be worth the risk. For one, that change of scenery would be a good thing, and the B’s have a good locker room that could help keep him straight. On the other hand, they’d still need to find some cap space to fit him in, and it would probably take a Brad Marchand ($4.5 million cap hit) or Loui Eriksson ($4.25 million) just to get a package to propose. Marchand, despite his reputation is too important to deal and even though Eriksson hasn’t been the same guy that he was in Dallas, he’s starting to come around in the second half of the 2014-15 season.

Kane has potential to be a 20-30 goal scorer per season and that would be welcoming for the Black and Gold. But is Evander Kane – both on and off the ice – a risk worth taking for Chiarelli and company? He won’t be at the trade deadline, and depending on what the Bruins do in the off-season, they may want to look elsewhere to improve their squad.
