Speculation: Evander Kane Megathread - Under termination appeal, NHL investigation, & looking for a new contract

[Del Preston]

The Oilers' top-9 suddenly has a lot of options if Kane is signed.

I'm expecting Tippett to put him on a line with Draisaitl and McDavid, though.

Seems there are some assumptions in the media and from Kane’s camp that he will not face discipline.

Gotta love it sire. Finally, some justice

Just like evander getting the custody of their child also.

Fool me 20 times.

If a player wanted to cost his team a game, and wanted the ref in on the action, how would said player go about...nm.

It’s obvious if you have talent you’ll have a spot on any team. Antonio Brown is a much worse case of this in the NFL, and he likely gets another contract this offseason. Edmonton just can’t make the mistake San Jose did and think after a half season that you’ve changed him and sign him to term. Use him to get to the playoffs and absolutely under no circumstances do you give him a multi year deal

if he performs like he can and takes them deep into the playoffs, he's getting paid and that multi is coming

Call me crazy but I don't see Kane as any kind of stabilizing force for a team as volatile as the Oilers.

 

[Shroud of Orrin]

Kane - McDavid - Puljujarvi
RNH - Draisaitl - Hyman

Hard to fathom this being non-playoff.

The Oilers are not violate. Where did you get that? From Leon's interaction with Matheson?

Not a volatile temperament - volatile on the ice. They have the two best players in the league but still seem to exist in a permanent malaise.

Did they fix their goaltending? No? Then I absolutely can see them being a non-playoff team.

2 words…Mikko Koskinen

Fair enough and I agree but you'd have to think that if Holland is doing this Kane thing they already have options sorted on a goaltender.

Bottom6, defense, goaltending.

In the East they wouldn’t stand a chance, lucky to be in the West

 

[CycloneSweep]

All this info is the exact same thing they have said for weeks “tomorrow”

 

[Empoleon8771]

Kane - McDavid - Puljujarvi
RNH - Draisaitl - Hyman

Hard to fathom this being non-playoff.

Foegele-McLeod-Yamamoto
Shore-Ryan-Kassian

Nurse-Bouchard
Keith-Ceci
Lagesson-Russell

Smith-Koskinen

Hard to fathom this being playoff worthy.

I dont think adding a top 6 winger for no assets hurts their on ice volatility.

 

[ratbid]

For the love of god sign with Edmonton, been holding him in my fantasy pool for 2 darn weeks.

Terrible for hockey yes, but I've lost two weeks in a row can't be losing a third

 

[BatVader]

do they have cap space?
Where are they coming up with the 1.5m?
Who’s being waived or traded?

 

[uncleben]

Seems wild to me.
He was suspended earlier this year for COVID violations. As a repeat offender alone, there should be repercussions
