The casinos in Vegas would have him in cuffs within a week, so that's probably not the best place for him to sign
LeBrun: Evander Kane close to signing, will happen by the weekend per his agent (EDM, FLA, TB top 3 choices)

No. Kane's contract was terminated due to his latest violation of AHL COVID-19 protocols when he travelled internationally to Vancouver while being symptomatic allegedly. This was just a month after coming off a 21 game suspension for his NHL COVID-19 protocol violation when he submitted a fake vaccine card.

I'd assume he signs for a cheap deal until the end of the year. Good opportunity for him to build back a bit of value, and should be a low risk move for whoever takes him. Personally, I'd love to see him come home to Vancouver, his skillset is a perfect fit in our top 6. If he F*cks up, cut him little cost.
I do believe he will be in Edmonton though, Playing with McDavid or Drai would help him put up some bug numbers for his next deal.

On the ice? Kane in Edmonton makes the most sense, Guy could pot 40 with Mcdavid/Drai.
Off the ice? Worst place is Edmonton, Already a super fragile group, Would be good for a bit, until things get sour, and all hell breaks loose.
That being said, Kassian rejuvenated his career there, so who knows

That was Dustin Byfuglien... and he is also available. Maybe they will both become Oilers?

I thought he wanted to play on a contender? Not taking swipes at the Oilers here (but that IS fun), but they are not contenders, and he doesn't move the needle to make them one. If he wants lots of points for his next contract and his agent squeezes them and says "he plays with either MacD or Drai", then gather your points and go home for the playoffs. Oilers a contender? lol

I don't think this team turns a corner until the coach is changed and a goalie comes in. I'm cautiously optimistic but I think this might go poorly if things continue to devolve as the season goes on.

Come on Holland, 3+ years for 5+ million, you can do it, salary cap is just a formality.
I can’t think of an elite player available that would cost less. And he is elite. Last season’s on-ice play was as good as its ever been, whether on the pp, pk or 5-on-5

This move makes a ton of sense for Edmonton. Edmonton is in a kind of desperate situation where they need a Hail Mary like this.

There doesn't seem to be a strong, vocal leadership group in Edmonton. If they're not careful, this could turn bad quickly.
