Confirmed Signing with Link: [DET] F Patrick Kane signs with the Red Wings (1 year, $2.75M)

[Blackhawks26]

Sometimes you live long enough to see yourself become the villain.

 

[Advanced stats]

Ahh just the guy to raise the youth on the team.

I'm sure he'll give 100%

 

[Maurice of Orange]

Lmao. Let's start with a light jog before going all out.

Trade deadline is still ahead, gotta start somewhere.

Detroit is in the playoff conversation as they sit 3rd in the Atlantic.

I could see 2 wild card’s coming out of the the Atlantic as the Metropolitan division isn’t producing as many points.

 

[Mrfenn92]

Good luck to Kaner, hopefully he’s healthy and ready to load up points feeding cat again

 

[Dr Pepper]

Guess he just really likes wearing red, eh?

Figured Friedman would be wrong about the whole Dallas thing which was just yesterday.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Have fun with one hip Kane Detroit

Can someone more educated carry me through a 'hip resurfacing' and what exactly it entails? Sounds nasty. Do NHL players typically rebound after this kind of surgery?

Wonder if it's a multi-year contract like speculated a few weeks ago...

 

[HawksDub89]

This would be annoying news if the rivalry was still a thing. As it is, whatever. Hope he got a good payday for a 3/4 season.

No kidding. About a decade ago I would’ve been pissed.

If anything I love the fact that his first game back in Chicago will be chelios jersey retirement night. What a ticket that’ll be.

 

[MasterofGrond]

Wow, he finally signed in Buffalo

 

[JediOrderPizza]

Free deadline pickup, one year no risk.

 

[Stammertime91]

He's pulling the Marian Hossa tour but in reverse. Interesting.

• Make an incision in your thigh to reach the hip joint.
• Dislocate the femoral head out of the socket.
• Trim the head with specially designed power instruments.
• Cement a metal cap over the prepared femoral head.
• Use a power tool called a reamer to remove the cartilage that lines the socket.
• Push a metal cup into the socket; the cup is held in place by friction between the bone and the metal.
• Once the cup is in place, position the femoral head back into the socket, and close the incision.

Backstrom, Jovanovski, and Kesler all had it. None made it to the 40 game mark so the odds aren't in Kane's favour sadly.

 

[larek]

Be interesting to see what his quality of play is after the surgery and how long he lasts

 

[MarkusKetterer]

Ah the links that Elon wouldn't let me use!

Gotta change X to Twitter in the address

To date, no one has been the same player after that procedure.

Notable players: Backstrom(Capitals) LTIR
Jovanovski retired shortly after it. Played 37 more games after the procedure.
Kesler never played again.
Silinger had it done too.

“They dislocate your joint,” Jovanovski said to Custance. “Pull it out of your leg. Then shave the femoral head down to a certain size and cap it with titanium. Then do the same for your socket, shaving out the socket and hammering in a new socket where everything kind of joins together.”

Professional athletes that get hip resurfacing surgery typically do not have successful returns

It’s a really fcked up surgery for an nhl er to have

 

[MarkusNaslund19]

Really interested to see if he can come back from that hip resurfacing surgery that has seemed to be such a death knell for so many players.

Will be interesting to see him with Debrincat again.

Curious about money and term. Wings can use some scoring and have a decent top 9 center core now and for the future. Perhaps it will do their young guys good to play with a dynamic cup winner, or perhaps he'll peter out and be ineffective and play on the perimeter.

The NHL is a better place when Kane is dancing out there so I think I wish him well (Beach stuff notwithstanding).

 

[Evgeny Oliker]

I like the move for Detroit. Very very low risk since it’s just a 1 year deal.

I don’t think he will be the same player after this surgery. But if they shelter him with low minutes on 2nd or 3rd line and some PP time, he may do ok for them. It’s good depth.

I get dizzy at at the Dentist.... oof

 

[93gilmour93]

I’m surprised he didn’t sign one year with a SC contender. Interesting…..

 

[Maurice of Orange]

Need details of this deal.

Should only be 1 year.

 

[FriendlyGhost92]

CM Punk returns to WWE, now Patrick Kane is a Detroit Red Wing. Hell has frozen over.

Hell will officially freeze over when CM Punk walks out in Chicago wearing a Kane Red Wings Jersey.

And they’ll still miss the playoffs.

So we unload Kane, Ghost, Sprong, Perron to contenders and continue to accumulate futures?

Darn. Sucks to be a team that gets f***ed over in the lottery and still rebuilds better than the teams winning it.

 

[Panthaz89]

we can finally rest with Kane-mania for now

Contenders don't have money.

Detroit can pay him, possibly make the playoffs, and if they're on the outside looking in by the TDL, offload him to the contender of his choosing at 50% retention for a 2nd or 3rd round pick.
