Proposal: Evander Kane to Edmonton

[McDavidbowie]

Pouliot (1mil retained)+Yakupov

for

Kane

Yak needs a change of scenery and Kane needs to avoid more legal issues.

Pouliot is an analytics darling and has produced well for the Oilers but Chia has already traded him once and will likely do so again.

Both teams probably say no.

 

[Topkatz]

No thanks.

Rather have Pou. His recreational habits could have a disastrous effect on our young team. Kassian is a different suituation and is being kept on a long leash.

Doesnt have the personality chia likes.

Buffalo would bite their hands off at that offer to get rid of him.

Pretty sure Chia was interested in Kane when he was with Boston. Their willingness to bring in Kassian and then re-sign him speaks to his belief in 2nd chances.

They have kept him on a short leash and I am sure they can do the same for Kane. If it goes south they can just expose him to Vegas.

Maybe. But just think they won't want to pay Pouliot and yak when they have their own players needing raises soon

 

[MikeModano9]

As an Oiler fan I'd rather have Pouliot let alone add Yakupov.

Edit: spelling

 

[McDavidbowie]

Pouliot would cost 3mil if Edmonton is retaining. That is a bargain. Yak is on a cheap deal also and could thrive out East.

He could take Mcdavid under his wing and show him how to be a pro

Anything he sees from Kane, he would have already seen from Hall.,

 

[Draiskull]

Why would the Oilers bring in Kane into their dressing room?
No need for the supposed "upgrade" on Pouliot.

With Kane's recent run in with the law, I'd be very surprised if anyone paid this type of premium for him.

I could see a team paying a low draft pick and possibly a B prospect for him. He's done nothing but embarrass himself wherever he went.

 

[The Winter Soldier]

I tried to give Kane the benefit of doubt with his 2nd chance in Buffalo. But right now, I just don't think he is worth it. Despite his vast talents.

 

[Draiskull]

yup Hall and all his troubles.. Good riddance this woman choker, over sleeper, sexual assaulter, money flaunter!

Is this anything more than your opinion? I don't remember Chia being after Kane.


Also, there's something to be said for the differences between 2nd chances and like...8th chances.

 

[McDavidbowie]

"alleged"...

And oh no, a money phone, I hear those are toxic.

Hall had his troubles but that isn't for this thread. Just pointing out that he had a bar star for a room mate and it didn't ruin him.

It is true contending teams who had strong interest in a healthy Kane – Anaheim, Boston, Pittsburgh and Montreal, amongst others – dropped by the wayside, for the next three weeks anyway, the moment Kane opted for surgery.

 

[Beerz]

No interest on selling low on Kane.

I'll happily keep him

While I would take it, I'm not really sure why Chia would want Kane. Also, this is his 2nd chance. The Oilers would be his 3rd.

It is a fair offer, and with his legal issues he may be traded anyways.

Kassian was a 3rd chance also.

Hell he just signed Fraser..... He loves these guys.

That is from when Kane was still with Jets and is pre his legal troubles.

Comparing Hall to him is just ignorant.. Hall may be your average teenager jerk at the bar but never had any legal troubles.
Being a bar star isnt a crime.. some of the things Kane is alleged for is.

Kane's leash should be shorter than Kassian wherever he ends up next season.

I do not find it fair...because i have no interest in the players offered.

It wasn't a direct comparison. What I am saying is that McDavid was surrounded by bar stars, recovering addicts, and a fishbowl market and none of that phased him.

Edmonton is notorious for being a last stop for quite a few NHLers. It might be enough to smarten Kane up.

 

[THall4]

Oilers say Hells no.

Don't want anything to do with Evander Kane, not a fan of his apparent character flaws.

 

[InfinityIggy]

Edmonton would be better off holding onto their vet, and seeing how Yak develops. Giving them up for Kane, who will cause them nothing but headaches for however many more seasons he manages to stay in the NHL isn't a great idea in my opinion.
