Wawrow truly has no idea why guys like Tatar and Hartman brought back better returns than Kane. It's the term, stupid.
Term, and both of them being straight up better players than Kane.

I know it's popular to beat up on our local beat reporters but his point was valid, the lack of interest in Kane wasn't because GMs think he's a low hockey IQ player it had most to do with a reputation for being a problem in the locker room and community, and it will follow him into free agency, no team is going to give him 5 years at $6M other than Vancouver possibly or San Jose if he is a big contributor for them the rest of this season. Take away past indiscretions and Kane would have returned minimum what Nash did.
Kane will have trouble finding a deal with the term or money he has now. He brought it on himself but we suffer too.

I think Kane will be very lucky to get the same term her got before (6 years). Dollar wise he’ll beat his current AAV
Im thinking Kane will get a 4 yr/24 million type of deal at best.
Agree. Especially if he values playoff chases after finally getting a taste of one.I wouldn't be surprised if he took an even shorter term.
He could take a 2 year deal, go out and have two 30/60 type seasons, keep his nose clean, and maybe re-cash in as a 28/29 year old free agent

List the teams you think will assuredly make the playoffs each and every year from 2019-2022. Tampa and Nashville?
If you want a higher guarantee of a playoff chase, shorter term deals make sense.
Was going to throw them in there too... but I just couldn't bring myself to do it...and... ugh... Toronto....
But yea, i agree....

Watching San Jose again, still wondering if they will look for some help up front to make one last push with Joe when he gets back. Of any room, they might be the most laid back vet bunch for a destination for Kane if that sort of thing is still an outside concern.
