Description
Vets to help lead the team, M&M can protect the young 3rd line, I think this team makes major strides to being a playoff team, next year is a stretch but with more development and other prospects coming up with team could be dangerous in a few years, re sign Kane to an extension and have plenty of money to resign key players while also reaching the cap floor with players who are still playing

Burns isn't waiving for Buffalo. Maybe Kane isn't either, but why not just wait for him as a UFA.

Kanes age and contract don’t sync with BUFs competitive window.
Given the strength of BUFs division right now, you are probably 2-3 years from being a serious threat. By then Kanes pushing 37-38? Not really great timing

Buffalo shouldnt make either trade. Can we give up on Kane already?

CHI won't want to part with Kane for that package.

As a fan of Sharks and especially a fan of Burns, I see this trade in my worst dream. But if we look only from buisness return is not enough

He's 33, so by your timeline he'd be 36. But that's splitting hairs at this point.

I thought Kane was from Buffalo? He might be a great piece to have around the young guys as they develop.

If Kane is 36 when the rest of BUF is peaking, its maybe 2 years too late. By 34 heading into 35, age decline is expected to come with most
