Looks like Kane had a separated shoulder plus was recovering from MCL surgery.

Yet he played and was terrible

Surprisingly he wasn't terrible against Anaheim!

He wasn't good either

YMMV

I better hear soon that Thornton's leg needs to be amputated

In before Deboer: "Thornton was healthy but I liked Karlsson's game too much to take him out"

 

[Coily]

I'm sure they'll claim Joe was being conditioned for a long run and that they did not expect to be out this early. Just like with Kent Huskins.

I don't know how I feel about resigning Kane anymore. If its 6M or less, think thats okay, anymore and id be bummed

 

[exchequer]

Would be surprised if Vlasic/Braun turn out to be injury-free. They looked like they really wanted to avoid contact the last few games.

 

[FunkyPhin]

Dude hasn't been able to string together any meaningful amount of seasons together injury free, hopefully our gm is smart enough to realize this when they're thinking about re-signing him.

If we can get Tavares or some other high-end forward, then I think it is unimportant. But I think Kane might be low hanging fruit to re-sign, and we more in the way of scoring ability that he provides. I'd be OK with 6.5 so long as the term were no longer than 3 years.

 

[The Nemesis]

At season's end everyone was clamoring to re-sign Kane right away and ecstatic about how well he fit with the team and how good everything was going.

And now here we are with people acting like he's radioactive and shouldn't be re-signed because he was ineffective in the playoffs due to a separated shoulder (Which is either not an excuse, or his own fault for separating his shoulder for some reason)

This is Brian Campbell all over again.

Reactionary, knee-jerk post-loss hot takes are my least favorite part of May/June.

Never said don't sign him, just said I'm worried about how much he'll cost

Agreed. Be conservative on term and AAV. If he wants to be here, he’ll sign here at a reasonable rate. If he wants to play in Vegas or something let them overpay.

 

[TomasHertlsRooster]

I'm cool off keeping Kane, he's good but he's going to want too much money and he's too injury prone

 

[OrrNumber4]

If the Sharks intend on contending, Kane would be a solid start. Term and money have to be appropriate, but he would be a solid contributor.

If the Sharks do not intent on contending, Kane shouldn't be in the conversation. He isn't a foundational piece, would cost that first-round-pick, and would just not fit in with a rebuilding team.

Explains why he had like 2 hits the whole series

 

[Alwalys]

i dunno, do we think we could do better than evander kane with the 21st pick?
i don't

 

[Nighthock]

Meh, was pretty obvious Kane was dealing with something. Donskoi was banged up as well... what the hell is Pavelski's excuse?

Signing Kane would make us lose our pick in 2019.

No way, Sharks reach so hard with their 1st rounders anyways. The tiniest chance they draft someone in the 20's that ever sniffs a 30 goal season.

He had to play with both of them? Haha he missed a TON of good chances this series.

 

[Nighthock]

Signing Kane would make us lose our pick in 2019.

Given our track record for mid 1st round picks, I'm fine with that.
