Kane isn’t coming to the Oilers.
Given his money problems. I expect he goes to the highest bidder, no matter the team.

I never said he is making demands. I was just saying the only way he would agree to come here is to play in the top 6 with them. If not he would just choose somewhere else.@CycloneSweep did...

Or rack up as many points as possible with McDrai, and get a real payday in the off season.. and hope for a settlement from SJGiven his money problems. I expect he goes to the highest bidder, no matter the team.

If they don't have any qualms with signing Kane, they should've signed DeAngelo. At least he provides great hockey value.
Personally I would say no to both.
I wasn't aware of that actually. Did he just not want to sign in Canada?Canadian teams were never an option for DeAngelo.
Kane has ties to Western Canada.
Literally nothing out saying DeAngelo wouldn't play for a Canadian team.I wasn't aware of that actually. Did he just not want to sign in Canada?

He wants a LHDWhat rumors?
This is one of the problems with the NHL. Having to ask players if it's OK if you can do your job. Talk about entitlement. Give Connor more shit to worry about.I think you ask Connor and Leon if they are okay with Kane joining the team. If they are, make a contract offer.
If he messes up, send him to the ECHL
Would be nice if winning was a bit higher on the list.Who cares. Anyone who has questionable character bring them here. Teams will hate us, we can win and our children can idolize them like they should. Winning is #1 everything else is pointless
I haven’t heard anything just whats posted here.I don't think he is either, think he'll get paid well-enough elsewhere. Have you heard anything or just the same sort of feeling?
Not a single team will pay over 1 mil. It'll be a contract that can be buried.If multiple teams are considering Kane he is going to be able to pick choose and demand. Expect him to be expensive.
Ignoring our personal dislike for Kane.
What would be the point of us signing Kane this year?
He would be an on ice improvement but we couldn't afford to bring him back next year, his on ice impact doesn't make up for our goaltending or lack of defensive ability.
So the org takes a negative PR hit to maybe be wildcard 1 instead of wildcard 2?
All Kane has ever done consistently in the nhl is score goals. He would easily be our best winger in terms of pure talent.I'm not totally against bringing Kane in one a 1 year, league min contract, but people should adjust their exceptions of what kind of player he is.
This is a guy that played with and struggled to mesh with guys like Scheiffle and Eichel. Kane isn't someone who can play a give-and-go game with an elite centre, he is a "get me the puck and I'll do it myself" kind of player, similar to someone like Duchene. That's not the type of player who's going to click with McDrai.
He needs a centre like Hertl, one that doesn't demand the puck. It's possible Nuge( along with Hyman) could fit that style, but this sound like a lot of roster balancing for a team that's already struggling with balance.
