More damning of the stats, than Kane.

i wouldnt even trade kupari straight up for Kane not to mention any of the other piecesDustin Brown
Valardi
Kupari
1st ( 2021 or 2022 draft LA choice ) or
Tkachuk or
Huberdeau+Weeger or
Eriksson Ek
Greenway
Dumba
To LA:
Kane (2m retention)
To Chicago:
Turcotte
Clague
2021 1st
Brown
Yup, I see zero reason for LA to do this trade though. Even if Kane is on that Kings team, that's still a top 10 pick. Basically it's a:
- top 5 pick (Turcotte)
- top 10 pick (2021 1st)
- B prospect
- Cap dump
Hawks aren't finding a better deal than that.
Kane’s doesn’t get that return. Nobody will trade a top 10 pick still on and ELC or hasn’t even started one for an over 30 yr old player on the downside of his career
A more realistic return
Kane with retention to balance the salaries at this point. If it’s next offseason thrn not likrly .
1. A protected 1st
2. A 2nd in 23 that could have conditions on team making cup finals during the time Kane is there making it a 1st.
3. A decent young player/ prospect*
4. A secondary prospect *#
5. A player on a $2M-$4M short contract to balance out the cap.
6. A high contract going back . The quality of this player affects above 2-4.
* the player is not a top 10 pick or a core future piece of team
# this goes away if it’s Done in summer 21 or goes away based on quality of #6.
Had Kane Been on his 2nd contract with 3 yrs left putting him at around 24-25 would return the haul Chicago fans are expecting. Not now at his age gets that.
Kane for Oshie (good player and needs to be included for cap purposes), Vrana, Lapierre, 1st/2nd round pick could be a decent haul.
Won't get much better in a flat cap world.
Washington gets to role with a top 6 of:
Ovi-Kuzy-Wilson
X-Backstrom-Kane
Allows them to go all in for a cup in the Ovi era. A core 5 forward group of Ovi, Kane, Kuzy, Backstrom and Wilson will be the best in the league.
Chicago gets 2 top 6 wingers (one young one with first line potential), a prospect with top 6 potential, and a first round pick.
Not too sure about the cap of each team, but chicago could retain a little bit or washington could send over someone like Jensen to make it work if needed.
Kane would look great in Colorado.
Something like Donskoi, Girard and two 1sts would do it.
Hawks could use a franchise dman like Girard on their blueline especially with aging Keith and Seabrook.
That's fine if your interested in staying young and never winning but you do this trade 10 out of 10 times if your goal is to try to win the cup.I fig a Kane trade would be for a younger worse player+futures
Even as a Leaf fan I would baulk at a Nylander 1 for 1 for Kane. Obv Kane is a way better player but age and contract could cripple us when u factor in Tavares.
If Chicago was willing to do Kane for Nylander Dubas would find a way to make the cap difference work. That’s a huge win for the Leafs, who are obviously in “win now” mode, while they still have Matthews, and Tavares isn’t too old to be a contributor.That's fine if your interested in staying young and never winning but you do this trade 10 out of 10 times if your goal is to try to win the cup.

I agree he is one of the best in the league , it is not the player it is more about the contract and his age .I would love to see him in a Bruins uniform , I wish there was some way to get it done . Terrific player.Ya'll are crazy if you think a guy who put up a 110 points two years ago, and could very well have put up another 100 point season last year is going to be traded at a discount.
Kane is among the best wingers in the game. Chicago would be nuts to trade him.

Wsh isn’t going to do that, nor should they. The Cap Catastrophe that would be required to acquire Kane is a Non-Starter. Giving up essentially their entire future is the Ender. Take your Either-Or, for BOTH reasons Wsh is out.Kane for Oshie (good player and needs to be included for cap purposes), Vrana, Lapierre, 1st/2nd round pick could be a decent haul.

I would sell the farm for Kane in PIT.
That said, I would rather see Kane and Toews retire as Blackhawks...
...with one more Cup before that happens.
Yeah don’t think that’s enough. Kane at EPs age in today’s play of hockey would be an easy 90 point player. As opposed to having 86 points and wining the art Ross back in the time that Kane was around EPs age.Yes it is. EP plays center not wing
