Solid points, dudes.

I like Kane for his speed and aggression. We need more of both

Agreed, I'd rather try and get those things elsewhere though. The twins have maybe a year left and with their inevitable departure this team immediately gets much quicker. Virtanen is trending in the right direction this season and already brings the speed, grit could come. Hell, Gaudette has a legit shot at making the squad next season and that brings speed and sandpaper.

I'd be hesitant to hand out big money to anyone but Boeser over the next couple seasons because that Luongo recapture is gonna hurt us if he decides to retire. I don't think he will, but it's something Benning and co gotta consider too.

I think Kane would be a great addition to our team. The knock on Kane is his attitude and off-ice work ethic. To counter that, Jim has amassed a team full of character players that would be good mentors for someone like Kane. I honestly think that Vancouver gives Kane the best shot at becoming the best version of himself. And despite us being a rebuilding team, Kane loves Vancouver and has said he wants to play here. 

I'd sign him to a 3ish year contract for the right price. If he wants longer, he'd have to take a pay cut. No NTC or NMC handed out.
