You can’t have it both ways man lol. “Kane is trending downwards Chicago has a long road ahead”then in the same breathe only reason “Schmaltz is putting up points is because he is glued with Kane”. Lol?
Kane is a fabulous player. He also hasn't scored as many points in the last two years as he did before. You can still be a superstar and also be declining. You can still prop up a guy's stats and be declining. Justin Abdelkader got a 7x4.25 deal almost entirely because he played on a line with Pavel Datsyuk, who was still an AMAZING player in the mid 2010s, but was also unquestionably declining. It's not having it both ways. Kane as he enters his 30s is not going to be able to carry a bad roster. He can still carry a line in a big way, but he'll cease to be such a weapon that teams literally can't stop.
Larkin scored so much early in his first season because he was stapled to Z. His numbers went down when he was taken away from Z. Try telling me that Henrik Zetterberg wasn't in full, irreversible decline by the time Larkin got here.
