This team doesn't have the capacity to capitalize on this type of move this season. It would be a desperation move, which you should never do. Last year was all Igor and a powerplay that benefitted from a league wide shock reaction to a stiffening of the crosschecking penalty in front of the net. After the TDL this team was also loaded with talent, which took them much further than the bones of the roster deserved to go on it's own.
You add Kane and maybe that gives you a couple even strength goals a game. The structure still bleeds high quality chances. It wouldn't be enough to warrant putting all your eggs in this basket. I'd play out the season and let chips fall where they may instead of making bad investments based on unmanaged expectations derived from a lucky stretch.
imo.
