Proposal: Evander Kane to Edmonton

[TFHockey]

I know this guy is a head case and has utterly worn out his welcome in San Jose. So let's try this:



Evander Kane @ 50%



Zack Kassian
Kyle Turris

Turris is a UFA at the end of the year. Kassian is hot and cold but might be exactly what the Sharks are looking for in a team guy.

Kane plays on the right side in the top six. If he doesn't thrive there he won't thrive anywhere.

I'd do it but you're never going to get a good response out of a Kane thread. lol

Yea pretty much this.

[Pucklington]

If we can terminate his contract at any point then yes...

 

[Killer Orcas]

Nobody will take Kane he's buyout material and gone from NHL. He is not worth the drama and possible legal issues.

 

[Pavelski2112]

For what it's worth, Kane on McD's wing would be absolutely bonkers.

Sharks would also possibly be willing to get a third team involved to make it 25% with a couple more pieces involved.

 

[ManofSteel55]

I just can't see it. If anything, I would hope to have more leadership and proven winners on the roster, not more of what Kane brings.

He would be a welcome addition on the ice though, can't argue with that.

Takes two to tango

I think it’s worth it for Edmonton

Excellent response. We're probably not the right team to try and help him recover his career - he needs a Boston/Pittsburgh/Tampa where you can't possibly upstage a guy like Bergeron or Crosby.

But my god, does the talent level and price to obtain him look tantalizing.

Kinda like a chick at last call that is waay outta your league asking you to take her home - feel like you won the lottery that night, but left with an itch that won't go away several weeks later. Even at 50% retained, that could turn into 4 years and $12,000,000 worth of scratching.

Counter offer, how about Kassian + 2nd for Kane @ 2.5 M?

This assumes Sharks retain 2.0, while paying a 3rd team your 2nd and our own 3rd (plus maybe a B prospect, or perhaps a 2023 3rd) to retain 2.5 M on Kane for 3 years (after this one). Thoughts?

Give us Coe, too. Just because.

[Unbiased Fan]

Edmonton would be stupid not to take him for that

 

[Voodoo Glow Skulls]

This is a good response.

Not even being a jerk, you said you'd do it.

 

[Orange Fanta]

He basically has negative value now more like turris and a 7th for kane at 50 percent retention

 

[Gecklund]

I’d rather pay Kane to sit home than take this. Turris and Kassian would just take spots from our young guys.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

this isn't the "pay us to take him" price that I'd take Kane for. The guy is pure poison.

If hertl is wanting to leave why not acquire him as well? Then put nuge on the 3rd to have 2 2nd lines? Also kanes negative value should give us a break on acquiring hertl. Not only that id rather trade kassian to another team that isnt even in the same conference. Maybe to ott and get Watson and zub.
Drai-mcdavid-jp
Hyman-hertl-kane
Foegale-nuge-watson
Shore/benson-mcleod-ryan
Nurse-bouch
Niemelainen-zub
Keith-ceci
Maf
Smith/skinner

Would rather have draft picks than those 2 turds.

Lmao i just spit out my coffee after reading this post

Yeah. So does Kassian

They would but they're easier to remove than Kane is and it's not like we're using our bottom six to give many young guys opportunities right now.
