Thread: KaneKakko
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Devsfan25</b></div><div>I keep hearing Rangers fans talk about Kakko this year like he's had some sort of breakout season. The guy has 3 points in 11 games while playing in a consistent top 6 role. I've watched a few Rangers games this year and I will admit he looks strong on the puck and shows flashes of offensive ability, but rarely converts on his chances. For a player like Kane, you're gonna need to give up a lot more than a guy whose on pace for 22 points in an 82 game season. Start by including that Dallas 1st</div></div>

Look at it from this prospective, you are giving up a guy who is 33yrs old on his last year of his contract as a UFA, might not resign for a young 22yr who is an extra year on his contract as a RFA, who has a lot of potential given his draft year

Thread: KaneKakko
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ChiHawk</b></div><div>I was responding to the other person saying NY can't take on the cap hit. To answer your question, 50% per NHL rules at the time of trade against whatever cap is left for the player. If NYR acquired Kane today, Chicago retains 50% of the current cap hit, the current cap is no $10.5M ($5.25M at 50% retention), it is actually a little more then $9M or $4.5M at 50% retention based on 10 games already being played. So NYR would be taking on $4.5M'ish cap with a trade today...that number continues to go down as Kane plays more games in a Blackhawks sweater.</div></div>

His starting salary cap of 10.5 also goes down at the TDL. My understanding this argument that the rangers will not be able to fit him under the cap bc they can't take on 5.25 but 4.5is null and void
