Here you go cherry picking away again. Now you're comparing Kanes 6 or 7 years with mostly ****ty teams where he apparently had problems with teammates to Meiers 2nd half of the season when he played in the top 6 with what is likely better linemates in a much better atmosphere. Also your contention about Kane taking lots of shots so "he's not a sniper". Pretty sure that's your word. Some of us touted him only as a goal scorer. His even strength goal scoring support that premise. Generating lots of shots is frankly a great trait to have. It increases the chances of scoring for himself as well as line mates thru rebounds most of the time. Isn't a large part of the advance stat thing based on that premise? Let's see how his shot selection goes when getting more coaching from the staff that got Meier to apparently change his selection. It's fine if you don't want them to sign him and if you don't like him for whatever reason. I see a player whose best seasons are still ahead of him if put in the right situation which can be SJ. I think his stats will also likely take a huge jump if he re-signs due to his time with the Sharks personnel on the power play. All we've seen is a cup of coffee. If he gets a training camp to really meld with the system and team I think he can excell in SJ.
Yea I agree. I think Kane will regularly be a 30-35 goal scorer on the Sharks. His point totals I'm not sure of but I could see him being in the 60-65 range. All depends on health.
