Preamble
Kane's value around the league right now is completely subjective... some teams likely wouldn't want him under any circumstances, whereas others may be willing to put up with his off-ice antics so long as he produces during games. Given their Cup aspirations, need at LW, and Kerfoot's expendable contract, Toronto seems like one of the teams that should be willing to gamble on Kane. So, what would a trade look like built around Kerfoot for Kane with 50% retention? Here's my attempt...



The Trade
To Toronto: Kane (50% retained)

To San Jose: 2022 1st, Kerfoot, plus some B level prospects if there are any in Toronto's system that San Jose want included


Toronto get a huge upgrade at LW on one of their top 2 lines without taking on additional salary

San Jose get a 2022 1st for essentially paying Kerfoot 7 million each of the next 2 seasons to replace Kane in their lineup, and then having 3.5 million in dead cap space in 2025 and 2026. They also get a couple of B level prospects if there are any in Toronto's system they really like

Doubtful anyone trades for Kane given the current swirl surrounding him. Parting with a 1st and decent roster players is not going to happen. I'm also not even sure he's allowed to play in Canada given his vaccination status.

Leafs gave up a 1st for Foligno at last year's deadline when he had 16 points in 42 games

Kane was nearly a point-per-game player last season with 49 points in 56 games... he's averaged 30 goals per 82 games over his last 10 seasons, and he's still only 30 years old

His vaccination status might be a deal-breaker, but parting with a "decent roster player" like Kerfoot certainly shouldn't

Problem with Kane is that his playing ability is almost irrelevant at this point. The off-ice issues are likely NHL career-ending.

Yes, but I disagree - why would anyone want to take it on? At this point Kane is a liability and even at 50% returned no team in the league is going to take on the headache. Given that he just got caught faking a vaccine card, that's particularly true of Canadian teams.

So, just disagree then... no sense keep asking a question that I've already answered...

Did Kane suddenly have his 21 game suspension lifted and the ongoing domestic abuse investigation halted? Is he suddenly fully vaccinated? Unless all three of these issues are solved Kane is the definition of a negative value player. Even his teammates have had enough of him.
