Rumor: Sharks working on Evander Kane trade, will eat 50%

That frees up a lot of cap space for SJ. Problem is, we're not a contending team, so there is no need for us to free up cap space at the cost of a recent 1st rounder. I'd rather buy Kane out in the offseason and suck up the cap hit for 3 years. After the third year (which is also when prospects that come in will start getting off ELCs) the buyout will only be at 1.6M which is tolerable.

Does Wilson agree that the Sharks aren’t trying to contend?

To SJS:
Phil Kessel
Josef Korenar

To ARI:
Evander Kane (no retention)
Adin Hill
Ozzy Wiesblatt

——

To VAN:
Evander Kane (50% retained)
Carter Hutton (waived and buried)

To ARI:
Danila Klimovich

——

ARI: Upgrades to Adin Hill in goal (Vejmelka to Tucson) and adds Wiesblatt and Klimovich to the growing prospect pool. They can call-up Maccelli to replace Kessel in Phoenix and then Klimovich can replace Maccelli in Tucson. The cost is 4yrs of retention on Kane and the loss of Phil Kessel.

SJS: Gets out of Kane’s contract with zero retention. Get a really nice replacement in Phil Kessel. Costs them Hill and Wiesblatt.

VAN: Get a deadly goal scoring power winger with Vancouver ties at a deeply discounted rate. Costs them Klimovich.

The only problem is... Klimovich might be Vancouver's best prospect. As sad as that is, but we like the kid.
Evander would not be traded for anything but a current roster player.

Vancouver just rid themselves of dead weighted contracts after carrying them for years and still have multiple left. They've also got internal issues going on behind doors. I'll be extremely shocked if they even consider bringing in Kane even at a discount given his baggage and PR storm. Kane wouldn't be able to handle playing in Canada with the spotlight and attention players receive. It would be bad for the player and bad for the team. If he is moved, and that's a BIG if, it'll be to one of the sunbelt teams where he can ride off into the sunset without much media attention.

That is the question of the season for our team. We'll find out whenever he adds/sells someone.

You should probably consider the needs of other teams before making proposals... no interest in moving DK, no cap space for Kane, and you don't get to dump cap for positive value? No, just no.

He's going to Carolina. Book it.

Could see him to the Pens for Zucker.. do it Burkie, you know you want to.

 

[Perfect_Drug]

Lucky for the Habs he was waived after Begevin was fired.

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

I don't think he's getting traded. Maybe San Jose assigns him to another AHL team.

 

[Mike Jones]

What team is going to want them in their AHL locker room?

 

[Deen]

Meh, I would take him at half off. Look at DeAngelo right now.

 

[34]

My guess, he ends up in Vancouver.

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

What team is going to want them in their AHL locker room?

I think the Chicago Wolves would be most likely considering they're independently owned and are strictly an AHL team.

But I hope he ends up in the ECHL with the Rapid City Rush.

Wouldn't Charlotte and Nashville need to be consulted?

If anybody could tune him in, it's Rod

 

[Mido]

Not a chance after the Virtanen fiasco.

Kane is a legit top line LW. It is too bad he is throwing his career away.

Chicago is affiliated with Carolina.

The land of misfits. If they were able to tame DeAngelo, they can work with anyone.

 

[McDrailers]

To the hawks for Strome and whatever, just to put the cherry on the nightmare cake that is the 2021 Chicago Blackhawks season

 

[DingDongCharlie]

What team is going to want them in their AHL locker room?

I think if they can't trade him they make him ride the bus and don't play him. See if you can get him to refuse to report so you can suspend him, thus removing the dead cap. That's what I'd do.

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

Chicago is affiliated with Carolina.

But Carolina doesn't own the Wolves.

 

[Mike Jones]

But Carolina doesn't own the Wolves.

Can a team that doesn't have an affiliation agreement with Chicago just unilaterally assign a player there?

6 years for the buy out or 3 years for the contract + retention.

Is San Jose going to be doing anything special in the next 3 years? Probably not.

6 years? Yea, I think they can re-tool / rebuild in that time.

Except that with a buyout, the last 3 years are only at 1.667 million/year.

The only reason to take a contract like Murray's back, is because they are an easier buyout. So retaining cap on that negates the one benefit.

And yes, the Sharks are competing right now. They are more of a retool vs rebuild team.
