Seravalli: Rangers, Sabres, Red Wings in the mix for Kane

[FriendlyGhost92]

3 of the least likely teams 2 of them, aren't seen as playoff teams, and the other he was already with and I get the sense it didn't really work out.

True. Detroit and Buffalo are way less likely than the 20 teams that have less than $1M in cap space...

He's skating down on a two on one and then the lights go out. All the players are standing around and then suddenly the organ begins and a fire is suddenly projected across the entire ice.

Ha! I was more thinking he's skating in an empty net goal on a breakaway, the lights go out, come back on, and Undertaker has him by the throat.

I don’t know if I’m in favor of a Rangers reunion. It was cool to see him wearing the Rangers blue, and I was there for his goal in Montreal, but to me I’d rather see Cuylle continue to step up and/or Othmann force the Rangers to call him up.

I won’t cry if he does come back though lol.

 

[WetcoastOrca]

Not sure he even moves the needle at this point. Have to see how he skates after the surgery.

 

[AhosDatsyukian]

This guy is mad Kane doesnt want to play for his team.

If you'd like to go through my post history you can find discussions on the Canes board from this offseason surrounding Kane, I've had little to no interest in adding him.

 

[Artemi Panarin]

Go home, Patrick.

 

[ffh]

Only took the Oilers and leafs 2 games to get crossed off his list.

 

[Umingmak]

Kane to CBJ (E5)

 

[Guttersniped]

Sylvain Turgeon had a card that has a really small Patty Kane at the glass in a Sabres uniform.

That card took off and then people realized how stupid it was to spend a lot of money on a card that had Kane as a kid on it and the price has since dropped.

You’re going to describe it instead of providing a picture? What do you think the internet’s for?

Patrick Kane & Dad later:

This guy is mad Kane doesnt want to play for his team.

This guy is salty about the insinuation that the Rangers aren’t a winning team

 

[hotcabbagesoup]

So much drama surrounding this guy. Just pick a team already, bum!!!

 

[lionsDen]

if we go by that logic cale makar will be a red wing because he wanted to play with lidstrom growing up....are you ready for that?

Nah he’ll go back home, he was diehard flames fan.

and kane will never sign with colorado.

This was a great conversation.

You’re not good with sarcasm eh?

 

[Detroit Knights]

Nah he’ll go back home, he was diehard flames fan.

............................i don't think you are?

 

[93LEAFS]

He absolutely was a Sabres fan as a kid.

That said, I'm pretty sure he's on record as saying that while he loved growing up in Buffalo.....he's not sure he'd ever want to play here. Maybe his mind has changed, especially given cap room around the league.....but I don't think we'll be his first option.

At this point in his life, he's also spent more time living away from Buffalo than he's spent living there (I'm not sure if he goes back for the summer anymore). I believe at 14 he moved in with Pat Verbeek in Detroit through the Belfry connect, another 2 in Ann Arbor, and then one in London, Ontario. After that Chicago.

Just remrmber….

the more it takes the higher the cap hit will be vs his actual salary.

with nylander he signed in ear devember and his first year salary cap was higher than the cap hit for the rest of the cap hit because had to be adjust for full season.

 

[Oddbob]

Christian Fischer dekes through five guys and dishes it to Debrincat for an easy goal, then Vince McMahon snags the mic from Ken Daniels and screams, "That's gotta... That's gotta be KANE! THAT'S GOTTA BE KANE!!!"

 

[lionsDen]

............................i don't think you are?

Whatever gets ya up in the morning champ

 

[Voight]

lol he's got his cups and doesn't care about winning another apparently

I think this year is more about showing teams he can still be an effective player after major surgery. I'm sure some teams are hesitant to commit because they just dont know how hell perform post-op.

 

[Voight]

At this point in his life, he's also spent more time living away from Buffalo than he's spent living there (I'm not sure if he goes back for the summer anymore). I believe at 14 he moved in with Pat Verbeek in Detroit through the Belfry connect, another 2 in Ann Arbor, and then one in London, Ontario. After that Chicago.

He doesn't.

Ever since that girl and her mother came out with false accusations that nearly ruined his life, he hasn't spent his off seasons there. Sold the place he had and everything.

 

[CharasLazyWrister]

Based on how things finished for Kane last season, I do have my doubts that he’s going to be a real impact player ever again, never mind in a season where he’s potentially missing multiple months to start his year.

 

[Petes2424]

Agent leaking 101…. Leak hometown team, and team contract just expired with, to get a little more cash or term before finalizing a deal…

There’s just been too much smoke about Detroit, from multiple sources, independent of each other. They also conveniently chose to only carry 12 forwards, and after the first injury, didn’t bring someone up, who once they bring up, isn’t going back down…. Instead bringing up AHL fill ins. That was very telling… So it’s almost like they’ve kept a spot open, knowing…

They have to be the clubhouse leader. We already know about the Larkin/Debrincat thing, and its no secret how Detroit treats their veteran players. To have him around that group of kids they’ve got coming, is also perfect. Especially with Perron’s contract expiring this year. Not to mention they’ve played very well to start the season, with lots of speed and a really good PP. Been told it’s a slam dunk since late August, including again this past weekend at an OHL game. Was told 2-3 year deal could be announced this week. So it’s interesting this leaks today. An old trick to get a little more money?? Sure smells like it.

Never believe things until they happen though. Especially in this case where Buffalo makes so much sense. You’d think they’d be at the top of the list but nothing suggests that. We shall see. Maybe even this week…

There is a bright side afterall.

He's waiting for Toews to sign somewhere so he can get revenge for leaving him in Chicago to burn by himself last year.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

This guy is salty about the insinuation that the Rangers aren’t a winning team

It’s fairly obvious they are

 

[WF19]

Detroit actually makes alot of sense..they have the money and though it's very early they look pretty good so far. He can either help push to the playoffs or like mentioned before he's an asset to sell for a premium at the deadline and Yzerman loves getting as many picks as possible. Plus they actually have some decent prospects in Grand Rapids waiting for a chance to.hetbin the lineup..

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Don’t want him back on the Rangers so I hope he goes elsewhere
