Rumor: Habs in on Patrick Kane

[MasterMatt25]

This makes sense, the Habs are shooting for the playoffs this year.


We still need to add offense if they want to make it.

This year? Gorton just said yesterday they were taking their time to let the prospects develop

 

[Uncle Scrooge]

Kane used last year to prove he's still got game after his injury.

I'd be shocked if he wants to go anywhere else but a contender or a familiar environment now. At the very least a team he really believes in. Montreal hasn't really been close so that makes no sense.

 

[Three On Zero]

Sure Habs have interest, doubtful Kane has the same mutual interest.

 

[Zalos]

Please, no.

The only reason the Habs sign a FA is if that player is young enough to be part of their core in the future. We're trying to shed bad contracts, not create new ones.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Only maked sense if habs are exiting their rebuild

lol how

Listen, I believe in almost any group of players in this league barring obvious tank jobs, Montreal has what it takes to make
The playoffs without any changes and just progression from the team.

But either we use next years picks because we are drafting high again or we will use them to
Make
A big time trade.

 

[Sypher04]

Makes some sense for the Habs, cannot see any reason why Kane would sign there though.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Hugues/gorton said they were not gonna get big names at long terms and we're looking for short terms to fit the rebuild, that shit is just clickbait

Move on

 

[JuJu Mobb]

It's the time of the year when Toronto and Montreal are involved in every rumors.

 

[Spearmint Rhino]

Could see it on a 1 year deal, he’s pretty much guaranteed a Top 6 spot due to our lack of NHL ready depth, basically a placeholder for Demidov and a trade chip at the deadline where Kane could go to a contender of his choice.

O6 team plus this

 

[ameselare]

Seravalli has been giving absolutely horrendous takes lately.
He said Necas would be traded before game 1, nothing.
He said marner would be traded before the draft, nope.
I’m really starting to think either his “sources” are fake or he just pulls stuff out of his ass

Allan Walsh was ripping him recently on his podcast. He didn't name him but was referring to the media member who kept saying "Hronek's number starts with an 8" (which was Seravalli) and was saying that him and Hronek would text about it and laugh.

 

[Michoulicious]

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

 

[Beendair Donedat]

Sure if it’s on a cheap, one year, trade you at the deadline deal, ala Monahan. You’d just be playing with free money while Kane warms up for the playoffs. Otherwise no interest.

True.............but then neither was Detroit??
Money talks folks.................money.

He never said Necas would be traded before game 1, he said he wouldn't be surprised.

And I can't find that other quote, so not sure if you're correct, or just misinterpreted Seravalli

 

[Northernhawk]

Kane gonna play for all the Original Six teams!

 

[Uncle Scrooge]

Like I said he had to prove himself. Of course money is a factor, but options were limited to begin with as rosters were set.

And to be fair, Detroit was in a playoff spot when he signed.

 

[Treb]

We are.

 

[hamzarocks]

We are.

Good move then, 70-80 pt player, no long term committment, prob habs best PP player still and can play in offensive minutes

Also a 3X cup winner so can teach the habs young guya how to play and produce in big moments

Not sure if he comes to mtl, but its a good move for them if they are ready to transition to competing for the playoffs again

 

[SML2]

He should do a Corey Perry and go soldier of fortune every year till he hangs them up.

 

[CokenoPepsi]

Yeah, not buying this.

He apparently had no interest in playing in Toronto.... He going to go to French Canada with no chance to win?

 

[TheNumber4]

But Carlo Colaiacovo lied and told me Kane wanted to be a Leaf.

 

[Lt Dan]

Cab drivers in Montreal are shaking in their boots

 

[BLONG7]

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.

 

[Whalers Fan]

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

The chances are almost the same as if the Habs sign me.
