Thread: Kane Trade

Just say you're an idiot and move on. But hey I'm sure you personally have watched every single shift Kane has taken this year, or even just watched 10 games of him (while focusing on him), and remember it perfectly, to make a better evaluation of his play.</div></div>

Lol. Easy to tell you have zero experience in a locker room on a winning team. More to winning than stats. It's the plays that don't show up in stats or analytics. Intangibles, things you wouldn't understand. Leadership, winning pedigree, and experience have value. Not to mention the career clutch of Kane when it matters.

Devils guy, analytics fan. Makes sense. Analytics haven't won a cup yet.
