Hearing they were interested in Kane was really interesting. Basu even mentioned that the type of deal Kane ended up signing may be something we're into.
I wonder if Stamkos could be swayed. Sign him 2-3 years at a higher AAV.
Regardless, we want a top 6 guy. That much is clear.
It's the signing bonuses. Pay him $800k, but give him $6m in signing bonuses. He gets his money upfront. Still a $6.8m cap hit, but almost all the money is paid upfront.
