Kane is not the issue at all, and this mislead hate for him is dumb. He has been just fine in SJ and we do not have any need to move him, any issues in the past are nonexistant here. Yes we do need one or two more top six wingers, but moving Kane gets us further from that not closer
History of Playoffs for Kane is what again ?
History of his teams success after Kane ?
Facts are Facts
you're just painting me your narrative of why its worth the risk
but Kane's never going to be a Stanley Cup Champ as he's a poor mans Jarome Iginla and even Iggy couldnt get it done despite coming close.
Iggy also lead his drafted team who was horrible to a Final based on his skill
Kane just missed practices and pissed off coaches instead of trying to be a leader and bring the lockerroom together like Iggy .
Not saying he has to be Iggy , i'm just point out he's not on his level but more so on the level of a Phil Kessel .
who only found success when a GM realized this about him acquiring him for less to play a lesser role behind more talented players.
Since acquiring Kane SJS has went from a SCF team 2 games from a Cup
To a non playoff team and bottom of the league
you're trying to replace Pavelski with Kane and as such Playoff Finals are off the menu until your realize the difference quality makes
