Rumor: Rumors and Proposals Thread | "Hi UFA, Will a 1 Year Minimum Deal and a Front Row View of McDavid

[Oilhawks]

I'm assuming the investigation clears. I doubt they can find anything unless he was dumb enough to have a literal paper trail. I also think the NHL kinda doesn't want to know the truth but they'll be on him like a hawk from now on.

This guy, dumb enough? Nah

 

[Anarchism]

Can we just not discuss Kane?
Like two Free agencies now trying to get the right goalie ...no luck fishing? So what now?

 

[McTedi]

An Evander Kane trade might be the only way Buffalo gets Jeff Skinner out of Buffalo.

No one will ever touch that Skinner contract

I don't think anybody touches Kane either.

It's risky but at 50% I would take a chance on Kane but only on the condition he agrees to gambling counselling.

Kane McDavid Puljujarvi
RNH Draisaitl Hyman


Is a ridiculous top 6.

Perhaps some hard knock lessons on how to man up and care for his wife and kids

I wouldn't. Dudes straight toxic.

He's the guy who never grew out of his d-bag phase in high school.

Strapping Kane to McD is only a good idea if the goal is to make 97 request a trade

Kane is lets be honest hardly the only d-bag in the league.

Half the guys in this league, probably more, cheat on their wives/gf.

He does have a gambling history, that they'd have to watch over him like a hawk, but I think even he knows his career is over if he can't stop doing that.

I mean there's his gambling history, his history in Winnipeg, etc.

There's levels to this. It's one thing to cheat, it's another to kick your pregnant wife and kids out of the house.

It isn't a crime to get a divorce though, the email that she even leaked states he wants to see his daughter for what I presume is an agreed upon period.

He's been a toxic player in every locker room he's ever been in. It's no coincidence he always finds himself surrounded by drama.

Even if you put aside the obvious moral issues with signing him, from a pure hockey team standpoint, he's not worth the distraction. The guy will never learn.

I find it funny you’re against the idea of bringing on Kane but were fine with signing DeAngelo haha.

The gauntlet has been thrown.

Significant difference between a guy who needs top line minutes to produce who's owed $28m over the next four seasons and a guy who needs an opportunity, making close to league minimum.

It's why context matters.

 

[ThreeOfAPerfectPair]

From the Athletic article.

According to one source, the frustration with Kane stemmed from a general “disrespect for team rules,” such as being late for practices and games.
“And zero consequences came, which caused a ripple effect with other, younger guys,” added the source. According to another source: “It wasn’t easy dealing with him this season.”
Kane's agent didn't respond to a request for comment Tuesday.

 

[McBooya42]

Evander Kane @50% retained for Kassian + Benson

Who says no?

Apparently a bunch of the Sharks don't want Kane back. Would be risky for us, but it's also likely he can click with McDavid or Draisaitl.

Everyone should be saying no. The guy is a POS. Talk about sewering the room.

Not worth the damage done to the room.

That’s the key thing for me. If he’s just harming himself, you know get some help and it’s not too much harm done. When you’re not giving your baby girl formula and basically abandon your wife? You’re just scum. I have no time for Kane.

 

[McDoused]

Getting away from the Kane talk, let's talk about how bad the flames defence is going to be without Giordano.

Tyson Barrie had 48 points last season.

With Giordano gone the flames defence has Andersson (21), Hanafin (15), Zadorov (8), Tanev (12), Vallimaki (11) and Kylington (1) for a total of 68 points.

The Oilers have Broberg, Bouchard and Samorukov coming while the flames top picks have pretty much "arrived".

Barrie is almost as good offensively as the entire flames defence.

Oh man I hope we beat up on them for the next 5 years. They can have Bedard but they’re gonna have to get bent over a couple dozen times by us first, sorry Flames.

I lived in Calgary from 06-2014 so the coming years will be sweet for me.

They have a couple prospects that could be decent like Connor Mackey but nobody that compares to Bouchard in terms of upside. They are going to have to pray that Hanifan and Vallimaki take big steps forward. Personally I will be happy to see them struggling for mediocrity, this would be the perfect time for them to blow it up and tank hard for a chance at some top notch prospects in the next few years before the new barn is built.

I think Calgary is going to be at the bottom of the division next season. I really do.
