Kaners Bald Spot
Registered User
Kane, Toews and Jones all have the same agent, so we'll see what happens.
Nope.If you were Kane would you want to stay? He does have 1 year left on his contract. He said before he wanted to stay but with Cat and Dach gone, could he have changed his mind?
He's talked about looking at the Miktia records and seeing that he could break them before. He has reasons for that.Nope.
I think this is part of the plan. Try to chase out the vets.
retain more than 2.5 and get a better return.I know I threw up this same type deal in the roster construction or another Kane thread but how about this "Getting the band back together" with bread deal?
Chicago out: Kane w/ 2.5M retained
NYR out: 2024 1st w/ no protection
Brennen Othmann
Yeah maybe go to 5M & get their 2nd ranked prospect and another pick down the road? They have no draft capital in 2023 due to a lot of trades. They are in win now and Kaner might be the missing piece to take them to the SC finals.retain more than 2.5 and get a better return.
No point in tying up a retention spot for that little
This....the bandaide was ripped completely off yesterday and there is no reason not to go all in. Again Kane has a 4 million bonus that has or will be paid shortly and is only owed another 2.9 after for a total of 6.9 in real dollars verses the cap hit of 10.5. There is ZERO reason that the Hawks who will not be spending anywhere near the cap (especially with Keith's recapture now in the mix) should not eat half that cap (they have already paid more then half the actual salary with the bonus). Honestly, they should leverage the value of Kane by involving a third team if someone needs help with more cap and will pay up for him. At 5.25, I would imagine there are easily a dozen teams that Kane would consider (realistic roster to contend for a Cup) all of which would figure out a way to make him fit. Obviously someone that has cap space beyond this season and would contemplate an extention improves the potential return.retain more than 2.5 and get a better return.

Retain more and add Kakko/Kravtzovretain more than 2.5 and get a better return.

After Cat's return, I have zero expectations for Kane's return lolI'm curious if this board will expect a kings ransom of picks/prospects for Kane, much like it did for DeBrincat. When that does not happen, watch the majority then try to rationalize the lack of return.
Lather, rinse, repeat.
