Value of: Patrick Kane UFA
- Thread starter WarriorofTime
- Start date
I honestly rather keep Kane over Panarin but sadly Rangers are stuck with that playoff choker. Kane was a lot more useful than Panarin this year in these playoffs and he was hurt. Panarin regular season finesse player nothing more.

Think that ship has sailed. And if he wants to come back give him a one year $10 million dollar deal, nothing but cap space.
I could see Patrick Kane rehabbing for most of next season and signing with a contender late. Maybe just a 1 x 1 type of deal, it seems he will be more concerned with who he plays with than the money.
He has to get his health situation improved, but if he does he could be a difference maker next playoffs.

I jinx players.
Think he may take a Bergeron deal with Rangers and go on LTIR. May be just wishful thinking.
Otherwise think his actual value is 2-3 years at $6-8M

What are the odds signs somewhere, gets surgery, amazingly healthy for playoffs with no cap hit?

Kane has had so much fun in Buffalo that the Blackhawks had to ask him to stop spending his summers there. Bars open until 4. And he’s a drunk douchebag who has left bad stories in every establishment in town.
as for not being really good…we’ve seen Kane play this year. And we aren’t paying him to take a 20 - 22 year old out of the lineup for what he brings. Even if we could keep him sober around all his worst influences.

His injury status is concerning. It sounds like whatever has been ailing him is something that surgery would put him out long term or potentially shorten his career.
Guess we’ll see. But for the sake of this thread I’ll assume he’d be close to 100% for the start of the season.
In which case I’d offer 1 year 7 mi

Edmonton is the best fit for how he likes to play and probably giving him a shot in the arm career wise.
But I think he'll probably sign in Buffalo.

Edmonton has a RW opening in the top 6. Kane would fit in pretty nicely there. Doubt it happens though.

Think it'll be an east coast team for cheap.
Yeah he won a lot, but he also hasn't won in a while.

In purely hockey terms, a small play-making vet who needs to be sheltered from defensive situations and looks like he's cooked, like he's done, is not at all what Buffalo needs.
As for off-ice, there is a lot of chatter about what sort of person he is. And it's never been good.

There's been nothing bad since 2015 with him off the ice. And he's had a long term gf with a kid now. He's been a leader off the ice working with younger players or setting up practices during covid. It's a lot of way back in the past elements that have gone away since he stopped hanging out with old family and friends in Buffalo.

Rangers, he gets hip surgery and we LTIR him until later in the season/playoffs
