Value of: Patrick Kane UFA

[WarriorofTime]

Will turn 35 years in November of 2023. All time legend, nobody has more points over the last 13 seasons. 3X Stanley Cup winner. Analytic nerds think he stinks. What do you think he signs for this summer?

I could see something like 1 yr 1m with edmonton to chase a cup

 

[Gurglesons]

Probably gets a 3-4 million dollar one year deal.

Feel like he’d do well in Buffalo.

 

[NewLife]

f***

 

[CokenoPepsi]

Really not sure...I guess depends if he gets surgery in the off season

Hard pass. Wanted him when I was younger, now I want him to stay far away from Buffalo. We have enough offense, not enough defense- Kane makes that issue worse. He’s also acted like a stubborn prima dona as Hawks have tanked- I can’t really discount whatever role he had on those cup teams, but he does not seem like veteran leadership. Messier was great in one place, trash in another, it does happen. We have a good young core, no need to rock the boat.

Redwings or Sabres

 

[Gabrielor]

Buffalo shouldn't at all.

 

[MOGlLNY]

We are not going to be signing Pat Kane and I doubt he wants to come here either.

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

He's an anti-play driver these days but I'm sure he'll get a good deal somewhere. He still has the hands.

 

[LeafalCrusader]

If he wants to be a Ranger so much just re-sign there for the league minimum and try another cup run with them?

 

[JaegerDice]

Some team will convince themselves it’s 2016 again and give him a big number. Plus, low impact or not, he is flashy and he does have a big name, so he will help sell tickets and merch.

 

[Five Alarm Fire]

I'll predict a slight discount to stay in New York, if they'll have him back.

 

[Chainshot]

He's been back to looking disinterested and cooked.

Thinking the same.

 

[sabremike]

He's been back to looking disinterested and cooked.

Honestly I don't think KA would touch him with a 30 foot pole.

 

[TotalHomer]

Kane looks horrible right now, I'm not sure why anyone with eyes would give him a multi year deal at this point.

 

[Fire Sweeney]

Could see him sign with NYI

Buffalo honestly has 0 need for another scoring winger. If anything, I suspect we may need to clear some older/lower ceiling bodies out of the way up front to make room for Savoie an possibly Kulich next season. If Kane were a grizzled vet RHD and wanted to come home as a UFA, great. But as a small scoring winger, the fit just isn't there even presuming something he's interested in.

 

[Adrianopolous]

He should retire like Toews

 

[chaser17]

Forgot he was even on the Rangers for a minute until he touched the puck there lol.

 

[Mattilaus]

Probably gets a 3-4 million dollar one year deal.

Feel like he’d do well in Buffalo.

No thanks

 

[Pi]

He absolutely sucks. Phil Kessel plays better defensively.

Time to retire.

 

[PostBradMalone]

No matter where he signs, I bet Kane takes the first part of next season off to get the surgery or surgeries he seems to badly need. Recuperate from those, rest up and find that competitive spark again, then sign with the team having the best season for a reduced/pro-rated amount.

Edmonton would be an incredible fit though, good chance they enter the season with this as their forward situation up until the deadline:

Kane-McDavid-Hyman
RNH-Draisaitl-Kostin ($1.5M)
Foegele-McLeod-Holloway/Lavoie/Bourgault/?
?-?

He would be an exceptional fit on the second line/PP even with his reduced abilities.
