(at least I am) Freeing up cap space to facilitate 3rd party trade to the rangers (not us). I'm more curious to know what we're getting outta it...prospect or draft pick(s). Guess it will depend on how much cap we're eating. When Stillman for a prospect gets 20ish pages in the first day on this forum, and nobody comments on Patrick Kane becoming a Canucks for 15 seconds (and also what we could potentially get by being the cap facilitator), and after all the crying on this forum over the last decade about not weaponizing cap... idk i expected at least some discussion haha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will take a little time to see what we got but eerily optomistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickenspear Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 I hope we can just move one of OEL/Myers to Chicago in lieu of a pick for retaining on Kane. They gotta meet the cap floor next year somehow, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't foresee us getting anything of note in return for taking 25% of Kane's cap hit, so it's not really all that exciting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His contract really anchors this team. Would give up a 3rd to get rid of Myers, but his contract is so short we may as well ride it out or flip him next TDL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with your sentiment, but all OEL has to do is point to the NMC in his contract and say, "I ain't doin' shit" to any suggestion of him needing to pack up and go. The only way we're going to move him is if he decides to move. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
