That is the one thing that would 100% turn me against this entire franchise. If they did exactly that.
He is the embodiment of a non-NHL player. And he counts against your cap for multiple seasons.

You're not relying on just Kane tho, you're relying on your best players. Those 2 just augment the dynamic
I could care less if they added Vasi and Hedman tomo...the Oilers aren't winning sh** if McD, Bouch, Ek, Hyman and Nuge continue to play like they have the last 2 months
You do realize atleast 10 wins this year have also been lost to not even remotely what you are complaining are the holes

I was thinking about this as well. Kane is basically cooked for this season, he might’ve played his last game as an Oiler actually.
We are playing very poorly right now (3-7 in our last ten, 13-10-1 since Jan 1st). How often do teams then turn it on the playoffs and win the Cup without major changes/additions?
If Kane is fully healthy. He cannot even do two consecutive days of workouts right now. Assuming he will be the "old" Kane at any point is risky, never mind expecting it immediately. That can't be the plan.
It's called "realism". Pretending everything is great when it's not doesn't make you a good fan, in fact it's the opposite.

Currently yes. It’s a slump. But the team is still very good. Work ethic has dropped off a cliff leading to bad turnovers and the already bad goaltending isn’t helping. If this team is moving their legs, there’s a reason why so many picked them to win the cup. I’m not worried in the sense that they won’t turn it around. But they need a starter to help guide them as well moving forward. Getting a save breeds confidence for the team. You hear it all the time from a player. “X was great back there. We know he will make the save allowing us to play our game”. No one on the team is saying that right now thats for sure. lol
LOL. We have to actually make the playoffs. Way to tell us you haven't been watching without saying it.
And yup, fans who want this team to get better are the ones who want the team to fail...not someone who comes on here to defend a management group that has taken a team that was one goal away from winning the Cup to having a genuine shot of missing the playoffs.
Make that make sense.

I would laugh. Kane and Reaves in the same dressing room would be awkward.
No, it wouldn't at all. Carlo's best season pts wise was 19, and he was playing with 90+pt players he could pass to. Ekholm before here was 44, and multiple above 30, and how many 90pt players did he have on the preds to get some gimme pts?
Idgaf how good he is at defending if he is only ever gonna be defending because he can't get the puck out on a pair with Nurse. He would be looked at like Ceci within a year, and we would be trying to turf him for someone who can actually move the puck.

Do some math
Kane was running around Edmonton in the summer. Jackson blew Kane's money waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy before Kanes "plan for surgery" even happened.
Now there's a whole lotta smoke around him again
The is nothing more than a more elaborate Mark Stone loophole by Edm
Kane will be 100% ready to go come playoffs. Don't have the wool pulled over your eyes

Who is this guy? That would be an absolute score of a trade for us.
Yeah we don’t support them when we want the GM to have stuff such as a good goalie in net so McDrai especially don’t waste another year in their primes without a Stanley cup victory. Give me a f***ing break with your condescending analogy.
Go suck Bowman's toes somewhere else. It's insufferable and pathetic.

Came for the non existent rumours, stayed for the Treenas innuendo. Many of you said more than a handful!

Thought would be more action overall in league. Maybe just not enough sellers. Might be a busy day tomorrow.

Does he have connections or is he just saying that based on analytics that both would be a good fit on these potential new teams?
I doubt he has any connections. There’s been no real sources that indicates Arvidsson is unhappy here.
But if he was, that would be hilarious when he gets to play with Draisaitl a lot but ends up falling on ice more than Yamamoto did

Kane will be better than anyone currently in the bottom 6, add in Frederick and Perry and we just might have some guys who play the right way in the playoffs.
Now dump RV or J Skinner and some sweeteners and go get Saros.

Kind of feel bad for Carolina.
Almost feels pointless to do a big move for a UFA unless you’re Vegas, Florida or Tampa. Maybe Rangers or Dallas included.

Thanks for the laugh. I needed that today.
