So Eller, 2021 1st, 2022 1st, Lapierre, and McMichael for Kane @ 50%?One of those conversations you never want to have but from a value standpoint it's best for Chicago and its best for Kane as well.
Send him to Washington or something at 50% retention for Eller + a boatload of prospects and picks

I am not sure why the Capitals do that. It doesnt make a lot of short term sense and it makes absolutely no long term sense. Nothing against Kane
I'm not going to debate what value is coming in would be but the assumption would be squeezing the last of Backstrom and Ovechkins time for another run at the cup.
I don't see how bringing in Kane at 5.25 doesn't make sense short term
Kane would fit on any team. You are talking about a top 5 winger in the game.1. Kane doesnt fit the team identity. He doesnt fit the Caps style of game.
2. Kane doesnt fill a need. The Caps 1RW and 2RW scored 26 and 21 goals in the shortened season. The Caps were second in the league in goals for last season and were 3rd over the past 2 combined. If the Caps have a need, isnt it defensively?
Is Kane better than either TJ Oshie or Tom Wilson? Yea. Are either TJ Oshie or Tom Wilson a weak link for the Caps? No.
Last. The Capitals basically use 1 power play unit. PP2 gets little toi. Who are you taking off PP1 to make room for Kane? Does it make sense to trade a couple of quality 1st round drafted players to do that?

He may not fill a need, but he adds a tremendous amount of depth to the Caps.
I'm not saying they would do it, but that's what it would take if Chicago is retaining half.
I didn't say they would.The Caps would not do it and I listed the reasons why.
No one is giving that for Pettersson lolIf you want Pettersson you need to give up a lot.

No. Rocket Richard winners the last 5 years. Ovechkin, Crosby, Ovechkin, Ovechkin, Ovechkin.
Hoglander, 1st (2021), 1st (2022), Eriksson, and Sutter for Kane
I didn't say they would.
I feel like its close but LA needs to add a little more. if we are retaining $2 mil on Kane AND taking browns full contract back in return another significant asset needs to be addedTo LA:
Kane (2m retention)
To Chicago:
Turcotte

So....we are arguing that Kane is good. Yes? He is good. I admit
No, I was posting what it would take for WSH to acquire him if they wanted him at 50% retention. You are arguing with no one about whether WSH would want him or not.So....we are arguing that Kane is good. Yes? He is good. I admit
Kane won a Cup, lead his team with 28pts in 22 Gp in the playoffs at the same age as Pettersson.Then nobody is getting EP lmfao
Pettersson is better than Kane was at the same age. And, again, the offer I made was a reply to an original post saying:
Kane @ 50% for EP
LMFAO
Then nobody is getting EP lmfao

The Hawks would be crazy not to take this.To LA:

I don't either. LA should either take on another short-term cap dump or two for picks and/or sign a couple of free agents like Vatanen or Granlund at depressed salaries and wait for prospects to start hitting. The could be back in the playoffs as early as this season.Yup, I see zero reason for LA to do this trade though.
Different time. Pretty sure you could be the leading scorer with 90 points back then. Scoring 75 points and comparing to Kane’s 75 points back then isn’t a just comparison.Then nobody is getting EP lmfao
