Value of: Patrick Kane

[GeauxPreds1]

I know he probably will never become available but if I'm bowman I would at least entertain the thought. The return would be huge. What would that have to be for Chicago fans to feel alright with the trade?

A lot, more than any fan base would be willing to give.

 

[Team Cozens]

From the Sabres - which might be the only team he accepts a trade.

2019 SJ- 1st
2020 Sabres 1st
2021 Blues 2nd
Nylander
Ghule
and to balance the salary....
Okposo
Moulson (last year)

Start with the Rick Nash trade and then add another good prospect. So something like a prime aged 2nd line forward or middle pair D, a young top-9 forward with top-6 upside, 2 good+ prospects and a 1st rounder for Kane.

Since Arizona and Chicago love trading with each other, I'll use them as an example with pretending everyone is healthy: Kane for Dvorak, Fischer, Hayton, Joseph/Capobiano and a 1st. So basically, it would gut any team's future pool.

What about this

Tor- Subban

Chicago- Nylander, fiala/tolvenen , Zaitsev, Nashville 2019 2nd, Tor 2019 3rd

Nash- Kane, Liljengren

... And just ignore the fact that there's a salary cap?

 

[HaNotsri]

That's terrible.

Well, not many teams can afford him. Look at the return for ROR/Karlsson.
I think a 2 firsts, 1 second, A prospect, B prospect+cap dumps could be a winning bid if you’re rebuilding.

 

[Hawkaholic]

You are comparing him to O'Reilly, whom Kane is much better than. And a UFA in Karlsson? Makes sense.

Who goes over the cap?

 

[justafan22]

You trade toews before kane.

 

[thesaadfather]

Not happening, and even if they tried to make it happen, Kane probably blocks it.

Kane would come to play for the Sabres.
Little Orchard Park birdies have chirped aabout it from their nests.

I believe there are a lot of instances in which some posters are being told by a higher power (probably Bettman) that the salary cap does not apply to them.

I doubt it personally. Ever since that ordeal in 2015, Kane has spent his summers in Chicago.

I don't.

 

[Kamiccolo]

Won't happen unless the Hawks "sell low" on him. He is 30 now, and like it or not, it doesn't last forever. That doesn't mean he sucks now, or that he will suck even in the next year or two.

However any team acquiring him, at least in the eyes of fans on here, will be paying for what he has done and not for what he is at this point... Which is a very talented and high end player who is just exiting their prime and in 2-3 years is very likely not worth anything close to his salary.

Panarin for Kane

 

[CobraAcesS]

It really is sad that pretty much everyone expects every player to become useless at 33..

 

[DictatorTots427]

Ok just for fun:
Nylander
Marleau
Liljegren
2019 + 2020 1st

The cellies post top shelf between Austin and Patrick would be taken to the next level.

The answer remains no.

That offer is the very definition of gutting the future.

The Leafs don't have a problem scoring and don't need to gut the future for a player of Kane's calibre.

Look to the Habs for a trading partner for Kane.

I don’t get it in this case. Kane is not a future HOFer because of his skating; he’s an all-time great because of his skill. Those types of players can produce at a high level as they get into the mid-30s and beyond. Jagr had a 66 point season at 43/44. Selanne was a point per game player at 40. Martin St. Louis won an Art Ross at 37.

I’d be surprised if Kane wasn't 70-80 point caliber over the next 8-10 years.

This is almost as dumb when you claim Mittlestadt had hands like Datsyuk.
