Value of: Evander Kane

[CokenoPepsi]

Ignoring his off ice issues he is having a great season with Edmonton and McDavid.

What is his value in the off season? Is any team going to give him a long term deal? Does he bail for the most money? (What would happen if he wins his case against the Sharks and his new deal?)

Absolutely no team is giving him a long term deal. Guy is a piece of shit.

 

[zar]

He is a very good hockey player.

I wouldn’t give him
• more than $5.5mAAV
• a term greater than 3 years

… but someone probably will.

Kane might prefer one year contracts until his bankruptcy case is settled.

good call. If Kane is given all that guaranteed income the creditors might try to seize it.

 

[tsujimoto74]

He's having a great season despite the delayed start and off-ice BS. I still doubt anyone gives him more than a couple years term, though.

 

[Dust]

I think anything more than 2 or 3 years is a huge mistake.

Give him term..if he messes up just terminate the contract ala Sharks

We don't really even know if they have cause yet, or if they are going to get a big cap penalty for that. But you're probably right, some GM will give him a dumb contract.

5.5m???
Is that you Ken?

Yeah, you're right 30+ goal scorers with grit grow on trees. You think he's going to sign another $2.1m contract?

If he didn't have his "history", he would probably easily get $8m+ AAV

What do you think Kane is going to get as a UFA then?

 

[lucaseider]

less than zero interest in signing him. Do not want him anywhere near our young players.

He’s been such a poor influence. Scoring at clutch times and all.

San Jose teammates voted the guy unanimous MVP for their team. They turned their back when the (now confirmed false) accusations came about.

No idea but I wouldn't give him 10 cents and he has scored 30 goals exactly twice.

Sure, if you say so, you probably have an excuse for his act in buffalo and winnipeg too right? Not to mention his lying about getting his covid shots and flying when he should not have been at christmas.

I’m just saying… things aren’t always what they seem. Oilers players seem to love Kane

When there are problems with every single place he has been (except edmonton so far), I dont give the benefit of the doubt anymore.

 

[TheNumber4]

I’m an oilers fan and have been impressed with his play and even I don’t know if I want to risk him here long term.

Well he just beat up Evan Bouchard in practice yesterday.

I think only the Oilers should offer him a contract next year. Maybe 1 year at $5 million.

Other teams should stay away from the cancer.

I mean year to year is probably fine, if you have a strong leadership group. I don't think its a great idea having him around a bunch of kids.

The thing is our kids are going to look up to Drai, McD, and Nurse. All huge team guys and character guys so there’d be less risk in that sense. But still, i could see how he could rub guys the wrong way, and long term is a scary prospect.

Ya, I meant if he stayed with the oilers year to year is fine, they have much better players than kane for the kids to look up to.

Your point? He's a 30g scorer (in 74 and 75 games) and for the Oilers he's closer to a 40g scorer because McDavid and Draisaitl are easily the best center men he's ever played with. If you don't see Kane as 30g scorer well then clearly there is no use discussing anything with you... you can't reason with hate.

Ya know, it’s really not an issue for the Oilers if the entire league hates him and under values him and doesn’t want to sign him.

Wouldn't want this woman beating scumbag on my team but that's just me. Good hockey player though, I'm sure someone will take that poison pill.
