Player Discussion Evander Kane

[La Bamba]

I hope he takes all the time he needs to fully recover. He's a special player when he's 100%

 

[McOilers97]

Hopefully we can LTIR him

I don't see it being relevant at this point. Sports hernia surgery recovery is likely 3ish months, not the kind of injury that keeps him out until next playoffs. LTIR is no use in that case.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

I'm not sure if Nuge Mcdavid pairing is good enough in crucial games.

Agreed They're good in the regular season, but when things tighten up in the playoffs, both are far better playing with 2 bigger bodies.


Imo that's Holloway and Hyman for McDavid, and Draisaitl and Kane for Nuge.

Maybe target a 5th guy at the TDL (Hello Taylor), Lavoie could maybe be a wildcard too.

What're the chances of putting him on the IR for the entire year and then welcome him back for the playoffs?

That play was this year and they missed the boat. Next year you want him back scoring 30 goals and doing Kane things.

A little late for that.
