Kane Successful Knee Surgery - Jan 10 2025

You do know that the second the Oilers take advantage of the LTIR loophole... Uncle Gary is going to step in and finally to do something about it.

We can be the hero's for the rest of the league and finally get this loophole shutdown.

I don't see the big crime here. We are down a player so why wouldn't be able to add someone? It's not like we're enjoying having an important player out of the lineup and going under the knife. It's not even remotely Hossa's allergy or Stone's spleen

But we’re a small market Canadian team. That’s enough for Gary to close the loophole no matter how legit the injury is.

I'm not there with you. I'm not ready to believe that Gary or the refs are against us.

 

[La Bamba]

I'm glad he's taking this year to essentially repair his entire body. He's going to be the ultimate x-factor when he returns. If we get 21/22 season Kane... oh boy.

I think Monahan also did a bunch of fixes on himself and he's returned to form. hopefully the same for Kane

They aren’t. I just like the conspiracy theory part of it.

Like that time Gary decided to pro-rate Neal’s goals to cost us a pick? I don’t think he’d have f***ed Vegas like that.

... and bring back Kostin retained for peanuts.

If Kane's on LTIR they likely won't need retention and could just get him super cheap. If I'm not mistaken they'll have space for about 7.5mil at the deadline.

Zero chance the Oil move out Kane at the TDL, but I would have time for Gibson at 50%. Grab him, someone like Kostin, and a quality 3rd pairing LHD, and I'll be happy going into the playoffs.

Yeah that's true also. They could just reacquire Kostin straight up for peanuts if Kane is LTIR-ed officially at the deadline. If we have Kane LTIR-ed and the acrued cap we probably have more cap space than we have assets to acquire players to use on that cap space anyway, so yeah bring back Kostin.

If he's back practicing with the team a couple weeks before the season ends and is ready to go exactly for game 1 of the playoffs than it is 100% a Stone spleen situation.

Kostin doesn't even make this teams opening night playoff roster with or without Kane. Waste of assets and time.
