So EDM plan isn't to fix their inability to stop teams from scoring and instead is hoping scoring more goals will solve the issue lol.

They look so screwed by the cap now. If they have to active mike smith from LTIR they are going to have to dump someone or put Bouchard or mcleod in the AHL bc they are waiver exempt.
This looks like it could be blow up in their faces massively going into the deadline now

It also cost the respect of some members of their fanbase and hockey world

So everything sums it up the best

As Holland stooped to a new low

It actually cost $1,375,000. The cap hit is increased due to it being a in-season signing.

We'll see if that money was better spent on Kane or having Katz not look like a greased rat.

Ken Holland inherited a lineup whose top-9 wingers were RNH, Chiasson, Rieder, Kassian, Lucic, and Sam Gagner.

He has removed 4 of the 6 and added Puljujarvi, Kane, Hyman, Foegele and Yamamoto, who make a combined $12.7M. He hasn't patched all the holes, but he's done a decent job on the wingers at least.

Yup, it's part of the same property. What could go wrong?

(Little known fact: Kane's signing bonus was paid in gaming chips.)

Kane seems like more of a negative than a positive even if he does pot 20 for 50. We'll see. I think EDM will get a good player and If Kane can act maturely and not be a distraction less people will care about the signing. If he acts up, EDM might have to start taking calls for McDavid and Draisaitl after yet another lost year.

I'm so done with this joke of a league, man. How tf does he get a job after everything he's pulled?


This is literally every sport, NFL being the worst. NFL the biggest sport in North America sign criminals everyday but its still a multi billion dollar business.

Im sure you will still be watching just like everyone else.

I love how this a big deal in the NHL, but in the NBA and NFL this happens all the time and it isn't that big of a deal at all

Lol, Kane may help to bring some depth scoring to the lineup but man, that locker room might not be great and that defence and goaltending still needs help
