holy kane overpay

Flames can't afford a 2 mill bottom pairing dman next year

Is there an extension for Nylander?

I mean if Kane accepts, Hawks definitely take that, lol.

I would assume not, but even without it, the Hawks could easily retain half and auction him off for a King's haul (near-PPG players at $3M definitely would attract attention from contenders).

I’d be interested in extending him but we can do that or we can deal Toews too to increase more cap space to sign him and DeBrincat

Cat - Strome - Nylander, pretty solid and young top line.

Or Dach there would work

Hawks would take this of course, but doubt Kane would waive to go to Toronto

I think he'd like to play with his fellow American Auston Matthews but who really knows

They're losing Gudbranson and Zadorov most likely so I think they'd try to make a guy like this work.. either way Leafs can get a similar return elsewhere

Unlikely he wants to play for a Canadian team based on some historical comments he's made. Unlikely he wants to leave the Hawks actually, but if he did would probably be a team like the Rangers to play with his good friend Panarin
