If I'm Chiarelli, I'm not touching Kane with a 400ft pole, especially at that price. Skilled? Sure. Arrogant? Definitely. I don't want his attitude on or around this team. Neal or Vanek on cheaper, shorter deals, and push Hoffman up.
Tbh, I don't do the Risto deal knowing how much less Ceci costs. Slightly lower ceiling, about the same level of reward, but at a lesser cap hit and acquisition cost. We don't get to dump Sekera, but Strome is still a valuable asset, and we keep the #10 pick.
