Kudos to Kane for betting on himself and taking a one year deal
not sure he had multi-year offers...a few months bet is not a problem. A few years could be. Lucic kind of contract - but with a toxic personality it's worse.
I imagine this is a blow to the players moral (we are so bad they are bringing in this guy...) Plus will mean endless media issues, having to deal with it at home in addition to any locker room problems.
This reeks of desperation for a team with some of the best players in McDavid and Draisailt
Sounding like jealousy is a b*****, but you do you New Jersey.
Jealous of what?
Oilers signing a known locker room cancer who has serious allegations against him
Im just making a joke out of his signing. No need to get butthurt about it.
Oh right, the Oilers brass would sell their souls for success. Anyhow, this deal is a PR nightmare. Kane isn't a bad player, but he's an awful human being. The Oilers apparently think the solution to their current woes is literal cancer.
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
At least that's something. Hell, the NFL would wonder why people were talking about his problems, they are so minor compared to what the NFL deals with.
Terrible. Oilers what are you thinking? Worth a 1 year league min that is all. The guy is a cancer in the locker room everywhere he goes. Going to miss the playoffs for sure now
McDavid and Dri should start asking for trades now, that way teams have more time to make some cap space.
I just can't see being in that locker room as either of those guys. They have to be asking themselves, what they are doing there at this point.
The whole franchise needs to be gutted and renovated. There is simply no saving it.

Well Evander is 30 years old he is a mature adult who takes responsibillity for his actions. I think he is a leader actually he has seen a lot in his life and will help the Oilers offensively and off the ice.
off ice stuff aside, 2 million for a 7x 20 goal scorer is a good deal.
But the fact is: you CAN'T put aside the terrible things that this horrible human being is. I'd never cheer for a team which support a man like Kane. One day, if he proves that HE REALLY CHANGED, then he could deserve another shot in the league. Until there, NO WAY!
We can see in these situations when someone has real moral values or he thinks that you can do whatever it takes to win...And McDavid support it. I can't respect someone who thinks like that. It's DISGUSTING!
If he goes over 40 points in a half season, I guess he'll get a T. Hall type contract, so he will be one year and done in Edm. That Nurse and Hyman long term deals will ruin their chances to improve their depth and goaltender issues next year.

Maybe I'm overvaluing being on McDavid's wing, but this might be the best winger McDavid has ever had (besides Draisaitl of course)

Easy to compare with T. Hall...Hall believed in playing 1 season in Buf with Eichel would get him a big long term deal, now Kane's hoping 1 year with either dynamic duo in Edm will get him a similar long term deal.

Sorry, but Eichel isn't anywhere close to the same talent level as McDavid, and Kane compliments McDavid way better than Hall/Eichel. It's the same scenario, but not the same situation whatsoever.
