I just watched the hat trick highlights. He was just toying around with Toronto
There seems to be very few teams who could pull off a trade for him. If I'm a Chi fan it would be tough not to get anything for him while you can, especially during a rebuild
When will McJesus get Gretzky'd and be forced to a large US market?
You have to wonder. The issue here is if you look at any Cup-winning roster, they have one thing the Oil do not: a Norris-caliber D-man patrolling the blueline. Nurse is at best, a 2nd pairing guy who they are paying top pairing $$$ for.
They keep trying to fix goaltending which is not the issue. I'm no GM but I'd trade Drysightoe to a team like (for example) Buffalo to see if it'll yield Dahlin or Power.

Domi seems to be another target for some teams
No debate at the moment IMO, Kane -- like him or not -- is the best US-born player all-time. All due respect to Modano, Roenick, et al.
Not a big hockey guy but went to two Panther games this year. First one against the Bruins which felt like an away game. In that one, the Panthers tied up with like 7 seconds left in regulation and won in the first minute in OT. Yesterday's game they sucked against the Ducks even though they outshot them by double. Once again, they came back in the 3rd and won in OT. The rats still live
I've been wondering for years if he's going to refuse to sign and go somewhere else
As much as I laugh at the Oil, I have noted that McDavid's not much of a whiner and just puts his head down and gets to work. He is phenomenal. That said, I wonder if he will be just determined to try to get it done in Edmonton and not be like well, the NBA divas who jump from team to team when they are not close to winning a Title.
Dunno. Hard to say. But, it would not shock me either he just leaves too. I can see teams throwing the bank at him if he becomes UFA.
Though, I'm no cap expert like Moog, but I gather your squad needs a 3rd team to take on some of the cap hit Kane will eat up...Kravtsov and Lesch won't be enough to fit 88 in. You guys will need to shed a bit more $$...a bit more.
I know nothing about cap space but here is part of an article in the Athletic:
How would it work?
The Rangers currently could add about $748,000 in contracts, which is to say they can’t add anything right now without subtracting from the roster. If the Rangers added Kane, it would have to be at a drastically reduced cap hit from the $10.5-million hit he carries.
The Blackhawks would need to retain 50 percent and a third team would be needed to retain another half of the remaining half to get it down to a manageable $2.625-million. Then, the Rangers would have to ship out Vitali Kravtsov ($875,000) and Jake Leschyshyn ($766,667), which gets them to around $2.4-million in cap space now. If the Rangers wait until March 3, deadline day, they might get there for the whole $2.625-million. Barely.
I'm biased but Kane would instantly help a contending team...his record shows he does not pull a disappearing act in the playoffs like some stars and pretty clutch.
With all the smoke at the NYR or Leafs, the past also tells us a 3rd secret team is going to pounce and he joins them instead. I dunno, Pens, Tampa, and Denver...they sorta come to my mind as the ninja teams. Can you imagine 88 with Sid, Nate, or Stamkos?
And I think there is no way 88 is waiving his NMC for Edmonton...even if that's playing with McJesus.
ABC announcers in the Rangers V Ovis are saying Kane to NY.
Yup, you're going to get a great one. Him with Breadman the Sequel is going to be just as good this time round. Still not a fan of your Captain's antics or penchant to taking the heads off of opposing players but Rangers just went all-in and it'll be interesting to see this 3-way fight between Boston, NY, and the Bolts...will be fun to watch.
This is like the first time in a reallll long time that there is no Kane, Toews in the line-up. As a Hawks fan, it's tough to take in...but, I have to think fondly of all the glory they brought the Hawks too.

I would love Kaner on the Pens, but no F'ing way can we swing his cap hit, we had to make 2 roster moves to bring a D-Man back from LTIR, the Pens are in total cap hell

Yeah, it sounds like Kane to NY is a done deal...lots of updates this weekend...it sounds like by Wednesday, the deal will be official when the Rangers can fit him in. I didn't know Pittsburgh had cap problems! Always had the pereception they did a good job managing it.
This is the first time that all the smoke actually accounted to something I think.
Timo Meier is a Devil. Talk about an arms race in the East. Yikes.
Rutherford was a good cap manager, Hextall made horrible signings and contract extensions to players he should not have and now we're in bad shape
How does that feel for you? A hated player from a hated rival...the GM for the Pens? That's almost like if Kris Draper became the Hawks GM or something.
It's not a good feeling, and one of many reasons why I finally punted my season tickets. Seeing what he did to the Flyers and how they never could contend, it's been more of the same here. And he's wasting the later years of Crosby's career which REALLY pisses me off

Oh yikes...didn't know it was like that for you with Hextall in place.
I mean, at least the Pens are still competitive. I think Pittsburgh has an issue a bit like Chicago in integrating the new blood with the stars...but, at least you guys did it properly. Hawks are done with Kane likely gone by tonight.
