I think there is a paradigm shift here, can our team go beast mode in the playoffs without players that carry his type of swagger ie to going toe to toe with the Tchuks and Kadri's. Kane took a lot of big hits in these playoffs because he became a target.
If he wants to come here for a hometown discount I think we should look at it.
Let the twins work out with him, the grind, run and bike. then Miller talk with him on the ice.
I'm worried about Lockwood's shoulders right now. So many hitting forwards had to stop hitting because injury, Jake, Kevin's, Hansen even, if so Lockwood has to reinvent himself.
McKinnon stopped a hat trick by Hyman with that knee on knee, a leader with a nasty streak. The Av's have added that edgy play to their mix. Av's are dialed in and they are the team to beat this year.
With over a week off as well possibly.
