Btw do you have any info about Kane's situation at the moment, because obviously that contract and cap hit aren't just going to vanish into thin air?

The only note worthy information I have is, it’s looking more and more likely that Kane’s contract won’t be terminated, however, he’s played his last game as a Shark. Whether it’s a trade, a buy-out, or a team suspension, he’s not factoring into San Jose’s long term plans.
