Re: Kane bringing the same thing as Skinner, the worst part of our team last year was the powerplay. I don't think many people would argue that. Kane produces on the PP. Skinner does not. Skinner actually seems to drag down the powerplay.
Ignoring literally everything else, if we sign Kane to say 2 x 6, at the very LEAST he should help the powerplay and with the Skinner buyout, would be taking up the same amount of cap space as Skinner alone. 2 year deal also gets him off the roster before the bad buy out year and we can fill his spot with an ELC in that year. Hopefully by then the overall team is better and we have a couple ELCs worthy of the spot.
