Kaner's got a full NMC. If he wants to go to the Rangers...Hawks gotta accept this. You might want to keep Reaves if you can for the playoffs.

I can’t for cap reasons but Reaves was healthy scratch last year for some games in the playoffs

Thanks to Kane's NMC doesnt that put the team RS in the position of Leverage
Without them neither side gets what they want.
Really there's only 2-3 teams with cap who plan on tanking this year
I Brett Bedard as good as he is for a B+ Prospect, really enough?

I suggest its not
Kane re-uniting with Panarin on a deep team for a cup run makes sense
I think you use this to grab Othman/C.Dach depending on who ponies up the prospect or a 2nd as well as Bedard
Both if they take Reaves contract too

Team like ARZ could hit the Cap Floor and get 2 good pieces and a pick to RS and take a Cap Dump
CHI , ANA and BUF are the only other teams who could help do this.
ANA seems to be building outta no where with the addition of Klingberg
BUF i think will try but like always will end up at the bottom anyways so they wont make a deal like this IMO

Really that leaves CHI and ARZ
Given CHI is the team trading here that by process of elimination leaves ARZ

IMO I think Brett Bedard is enough to retain half of Kane salary for only this year (past TDL) it’s not like they have a contract on the book, it’s only for the reminder of the season. But let’s say it’s still not enough, then Cuylle instead of Bedard

Season hasn't even started and people are looking at TDL trades

Rangers pass on the Kane rental.

Isn't it great, most teams are set now with only minor changes to be made I would expect.

They are slated to have accrued 4.7M by the deadline so keeping him might be an option.

However Wings accept
