Well that didn’t take long.

Just over a week removed from Evander Kane’s mysterious absence from the Winnipeg Jets lineup versus the Vancouver Canucks and the 23-year-old is now a member of the Buffalo Sabres.

Jets general manager Kevin Cheveldayoff moved quickly to trade Kane, who had a falling out with his teammates last Tuesday morning ahead of the meeting with the Canucks. The Jets sent Kane, Zach Bogosian, and goaltender Jason Kasdorf to the Sabres in exchange for Tyler Myers, Drew Stafford, Joel Armia, Brendan Lemieux, and a first round draft pick.

For all the news, notes, quotes and jokes you can handle, we look no further than Twitter for some reaction.

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.

In Buffalo, they call tracksuits "evening wear"

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?

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

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.
