Evander Kane

Podkolzon did a whole lot of nothing. Brown did a whole lot of nothing.

Podkolzin is the obvious choice for me. He brings much of what we expect from Kane, except a willingness to shoot the puck and an ability to finish. Kane should be a huge upgrade.

To be honest I've been wondering for weeks now what Podkolzin actually delivers. He spend the majority of his minutes with Draisaitl, who by all accounts had a career year at 5v5 and still Pods has only 8 goals and 24 points?

He reminds me a lot of Puljujarvi, just with more grit. Zero assertiveness offensively, good enough defensively to be a coach favorite.

Lol this isn't a thing Florida literally played tkachuks game 1. This comes across as just another dumb decision by the coach.

Actually it is a thing. The league is on this Kane situation way tighter than before.

As expected, he had no positive impact on the game. Kane has been on a steady decline ever since his revenge tour in 2022. I know he earned it but signing him for multiple years was still a mistake.

100% should not have played over Jeff Skinner.
