The best fit for Kane

Created by: CMcAvoy73
Team: 2021-22 Boston Bruins
Initial Creation Date: Jan. 8, 2022
Published: Jan. 8, 2022
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
Now, this could all be squashed quick if the league announces a suspension of a period of time rather than games.

He’ll have a lot of teams interested, but I think Boston is the best fit for him.
Why?
1. Meaningful hockey
2. Culture. The bruins have a no nonsense culture that i think would allow kane to either sink or swim.
3. LW depth. He wouldn’t be the guy. He wouldn’t be relied upon. He would be the third line LW.
4. Makes Debrusk way easier to move.
5. RIsk. Doesn’t work? Whatever, Foligno to 3LW.

Between Hall and Kane you could probably start calling Boston the Island of Misfit Hockey Players.

How to destroy a team with one signing.

Some just never learn.

Hated in every locker room.

Dragged every team down.

But “we can fix him”. Yada yada yada.

Let someone else make the mistake. Sweeney makes enough as it is.

Let it go.

Destroy a team? How? He doesn’t work out you send him home. Where’s the risk?

Go look everywhere he’s been. Go listen to the people that were there.

Just a few short months ago Sharks players went public about not wanting him back.

Any GM with half a brain won’t touch him with a 10 foot pole. So you are right. Boston IS the best fit. The GM is brain dead.

I agree with you, Boston might be best, maybe the only team, that could keep Kane on the straight and levei.....well at least for the this season.

You didn’t answer my question. Where’s the risk?

Yea I like a one year, prove it signing for Kane. At this point with the bruins aging core id take the risk. hell of a player and kind of what the bruins need right now as far as tougher guy. Pick him up and a top 4 D at the deadline and it could be a cup contending team.

The fact that you would sign Evander Kane proves you no nothing.

Bruins would be a fit for him. They don't much care if their players are a**hats if they get results. (No hate intended, just an honest take.)

The fact that you can’t spell, “know,” says quite a bit here.

Also, I didn’t sign him, I said it was the best fit. See how there’s a difference?

Not a fit at all. Boston gets rid of trouble cases. Don’t take them in.

Sigh. I’ll walk you through this.
He fits in boston….and this is the important part…better than with other teams. Hence the description. Hence the word “best.”

I have always said in the past that Kane would be an easy 30 goal scorer when he signed his extension with the Sharks and he has been on a 30+ goal-scoring rate since he signed there. I was content with the Bruins potentially trading for him at 50% retained but now that we have the ability to sign him for next to nothing, he makes our offensive firepower stronger. And like previously mentioned, if he doesn't work out then you just send him down or place him on the taxi squad. With the leadership we have here I'm sure that someone would be able to keep an eye on him at all times.
