I don't think it's about money or ring chasing for Kane at this point in his career. Detroit's well known for treating their players very well, especially veterans. Geographically, it's right between Chicago and Buffalo. They're a team on the upswing. I'd bet money on him extending in Detroit. There was a reason he picked them in the first place.If Kane keeps up PPG and stays healthy he can ask for 6+ million on the open market. Decent chance he's not a Wing next year, as much as I'd like to keep him.
I'd bet he signs for two more years at somewhere between $4.5-5.5M per.
You really think Yzerman will reconfigure the whole defense right before the playoffs? I can't see it.why not just trade maatta and ghost...
norrisnick said ghost to tampa which actually does make some sense. Then trade maatta in a package for hanifin (might be tanev unfortunately, but not terrible to be fair). Then you can bring up edvinsson or aljo and whoever you just traded for.
