Thread: Patty Kane
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ChiHawk</b></div><div>No it's not. Tatar is whatever...guy is turning 30 so doesn't fit our rebuild. Not a fan of Kotkaniemi, he's never going to live up to his draft position IMO and will be a 2nd C at best. Don't need another midget on our team in Caufield although I do like him. So basically this is Caufield, Kotkaniemi and a 2nd for Kane at $5M retained....that's crazy and will never happen. If you want Kane, it's going to have to include a 1st rounder, Romanav, and then some and Hawks will never retain more then $3M on Kane at most.</div></div>

I think the problem with Kane is that no one is willing to give up the assets for a fair trade. Like realistically if Kane is being traded with 50% retention and a cap dump is coming back, he should bring back an absolute haul. 50% retention is a lot for someone of his caliber who is arguably outperforming his contract already.

A lot of people on here don't see the value in Kane and that derives from most of them not actually watching him play and just seeing his age. It doesn't matter what his workout routine is or how dedicated he is or whether his game is mental or physical. Hawks fans see another St Louis career which is completely reasonable considering Kane has gotten much better after the "traditional prime years". It really would be unfair for any team to trade what some are proposing for a 31+ career of St Louis'.

Honestly, I don't mind either way because if we trade him it helps us rebuild so that we can resign him after his contract is over. Also giving me a little playoff excitement haha. And I'm totally ok with no trading him.

At the end of the day, people can bring up age but his numbers don't lie and getting that sort of production at ~5M is absurd.
