Rumor: Habs in on Patrick Kane

[Voight]

I doubt he'd have any actual interest. If he did, proximity to Buffalo would be the reason why.

At his age he wants to win playoff games and hopefully another cup, that aint happening in Montreal anytime soon.

 

[CanadienShark]

Yes please. Let him mentor Caufield.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Makes no real sense for Kane.

Unless it's a 1 year, high salary?

 

[waffledave]

1 year deal with big bucks, plays with Dach. Why not.

 

[First Line]

I can see a one year deal with full nmc and a promise to be traded before tdl like Monahan.
Only works if a contender cant fit his salary , also allow him to pick his team

 

[Canadienna]

lol how

Exiting a rebuild doesn't mean contending for the cup.

They could improve by 15 points and still miss the playoffs, but they'd be coming out of the rebuild.

 

[inxs]

Kane = buying jersey
Kane = buying tickets
Kane = waiting kids in 2 years before the young core maturity
Kane = scoring goal in overtime and shootout

 

[Uncle Scrooge]

So, he made them worse, and lost with him...............I can't imagine anyone offering him a contract?
Curious if his camp will sit again for half a season, and then choose a team?

Weird all the way around, but no way he comes to Canada......thinking the Sabres.

Eh, I don't think they were worse with him. Kane was ~PPG and scored 7 GWG's.

They missed the playoffs because their record without Larkin was abysmal.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

We are.

Need an extra Year to get rid of the Bergevin leftovers

 

[therocket9]

No chance Kane signs with a non contending team....best chance Montreal has is Perron for 1 year.

 

[Vancouver_2010]

i wish the canucks wants to sign him, he should be available for a relatively cheap price.

well they've been tanking for a bit now, they have a lot of good prospects, doesn't seem like a bad time to start building towards something. I know everyone wants to be the Ducks and draft top 5 for a decade straight but you gotta try and improve eventually.

We're still moving forward, not going for a top5 pick.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Im not saying otherwise but i easily expect a top 10 pick and then next year , habs might target a Kane type of player

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

He went to Detroit who had no chance to contend. No telling what he might do.

If they don't add any vets and Dach goes down again they will likely be bottom 10.

 

[HuGo Sham]

[MOD]
to answer OP, maybe. If he wants to chase a lot of money with little term.
Which gorton has hinted at doing with UFA's

 

[Halakitlikethat]

I don’t see it. But if he really wanted to win he wouldn’t have signed in Detroit last season.

Imagine a Suzuki injury. Suzuki has never missed a single nhl game even during covid.. im a knock on wood but we are 1 injury away from a bottom 5. I don't see why Kane would want to come unless we dump 12m on him and still , he probably wants another cup because he's gonna get paid either way in a playoff bound team

 

[JianYang]

IMO, the chances Habs get him are under 1%.

Even if he does agree to a deal, I still don't think he will play in Montreal.

It would be like when the Habs agreed to terms with Brett hull until the red wings swooped in at the final second.

 

[HuGort]

That video is 13 minutes.... where does he say it.

Regardless, it doesn't make sense to me from the club standpoint or kane's standpoint

6:55

The difference is Detroit is located in the USA and his former linemate Debrincat was in Detroit.

 

[HuGo Sham]

I’d say 75% of people in Montreal can’t speak French. It’s in Quebec yes but it’s very diverse there. I’d say majority of the population in East Asian or immigrant from India.

lmao...70% of the population of the city is bilingual and no, the vast majority are not east Indian.
Some of this thread is failing the IQ test. Badly

 

[HuGort]

Makes no sense at all for Montreal, I call bullsh**.

Likely one year deal, if Habs out of playoff picture flip him at deadline for a first, half retained. Similar to Monahan last year

 

[JianYang]

Also, Detroit has actually been trying to win. They didn't make the playoffs but their mindset is not about rebuilding. Montreal is not in that mindset.

Habs going to try for playoff spot next season
