I have no idea on whether he'll sign here or not but IMO we should certainly kick those tires. SJS may be a playoff team now but they're heading for a retool/rebuild soon without much in the prospect pool. We're a heck of a lot closer to the end of our rebuild than they are No, we're not 'one Kane away' but him added to our existing pieces sure wouldn't hurt. True, adding a Kane wouldn't necessarily hurt. I'd have 0 issues if we picked him up. But I'd also like a few spots to be reserved for youngsters. I know it's taboo to want kids "handed" spots, but we need to start getting some kids in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They either beat other guys out of jobs or they don't. Either way, I'm not turning down adding Kane for a reasonable term and VASTLY improving my top 6 so some kid can be gifted a spot. If a kid can make a guy like Gagner or Gaunce or Baer or Granlund etc expendable (and hence tradeable)...then by all means. That's no reason to not add Kane though.

Well I know myself and some others have liked the idea of Kane as a Canuck for a long time now and figured he could really help. He's definitely proving us right and all those fans hacking him down to the ground saying he'd do next to nothing right and him being a cancer dead wrong.

IF Kane were a reasonable price and if he could handle being back in his hometown and not let his off-ice become a "room" thing, you cannot ignore the talent he can bring to a team. He is not a POS player (plays hard but clean) but is almost the polar opposite to a player like Horvat (can you picture Horvat posting pic from a private jet or rolling around on a bed of money?) and that can be a challenge to bring that much difference together on the ice. It can be done but Kane would have to commit to "team first" and not sure how you assure that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I leave that in the capable hands of Benning and Co to determine All I know is he looked pretty damn good last night and, as a player, would look pretty nice in the blue and green IMO.

I've always said that Kane is a player that has all the assets to thrive in the playoffs I have never doubted that but just as important he'll also thrive in critical meaningful regular season games the tough games you need to win to make the playoffs. Having that type of player that Kane is and can be is exactly what this team needs going forward especially knowing the styles of all the players that are likely to be on this team. Kane would be a very key signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrippledCanuck Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 I believe Kane won't even be an option. Why would he sign with a rebuilding team that is imo a couple years away from qualifying for, let alone have playoffs success. Considering he could re sign with his current team and most likely continue to make the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to decide if he's grown up yet so my bet is it will go down to the gut feelings in the room once Linden gets a chance to talk to him for a while. I think the risk is low, I don't think he wants to come home and sh!t the bed and end his career here on a sour note. I think he's done some stupid things and spent time with people he shouldn't have spent time with, but if thats out of his system then its pretty low risk at least.

Perhaps if they give him a chip implant that slams the doors on him at all your clubs and disables his phone's selfie mode, then all would be fine.

Even if its not true, that could throw a big shadow over the team for quite a while. I know that can happen to any player but he seems more likely for something like that to happen. Even if he cleaned up his act that past of his.... its a hard choice to decide just how likely or risky that really is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCNeil Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 San Jose will obviously want to keep him. Since they traded for him, he has surpassed expectations. If he continues playing well through the playoffs, he will probably want to stay there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
