I don’t hate it on paper.  Probably swap Roy and Myers, but it is a strong lineup.  Depends on which Kane you are getting though….That’s the risk management and coaching would need to make based on what they know and think of their ability to tame him.  Being back in your home town with old friends could be a disaster.  Have to have his picture up for security at the Whiterock Casino  

 

I don't think he had issues in Edmonton and he's 33 now, I expect all that stuff is behind him.

 

If it's just Kane, then no.  But if they can use their cap space to get a good young players as well, then yes

Ok so 34-40 mil total. 

 

We'd have to do something like 7 mil x 5 years, and buyout proof with max bonus money to get him.

 

That's assuming he wanted an 8 year term at 4-5 million. Maybe it was for 4 or 5 years?

I don't know if he's looking to play until he's 42, just my opinion though.

So Drai and Perry.......rumoured.  Neither of those players are exactly great teammates either

Perry no but what makes you think Draisital isn’t a good teammate?

I don't think he's a bad teammate, but he's not easy to get along with either I don't think

Sign Stamkos, Atkinson, Dillon, then give us the damn cup!

He’s a grumpy kraut. But that doesn’t mean he’s hard to get along with.

I hear he gets really upset if the team doesn't sit to pee.

Even Bouchard has to sit when he pees because with his cross eyed vision he can’t see the center of the toilet

I could see Stamkos looking for a team that's the right fit for him

 

Chance to Win the Cup - Check

Good Management - GM Nomination, Coach of the Year - Check

Norris Trophy winner - Check

Vezina Finalist - Check 

Playing opportunity with PP time - Check

Familar faces (Miller) -  Check

Travel Schedule - well you can't check all the box's LOL

Id have faith in this coaching staff to handle him.

 

Again, not him in a deal alone.  Him and a sweetener

I’m not superstitious, but I also won’t succumb to the gamblers fallacy. No thank you to Perry!

Were talking about kzne who Edmonton is possibly trying to dump.  Which means Van might get a nice sweetener if they took him

Doesn't matter the sweetener to me. Kane is a terrible idea. Multiple players have come forward over the last few months talking about how great the locker room is here in Vancouver. Why on earth would we risk that by bringing in one of the players with the most well documented history of causing riffs in locker rooms currently in the NHL.

Oh oops thanks hehe! I’m also opposed to Kane on this team but for reasons that I’m sure have already been well-cited by hyperlinks..

Itd definitely matter to me.  I like Kane as a player and he brings a lot to the lineup.  I don't have a lot of concern about him, personally.  I think the strength of the dressing room and the strength of the coaching staff can absorb that.

 

Again, not likely and I'm just putting out  possibilities that might be unconventional.

[DrJockitch]

Haha. Like I said, Utah shaking everything up. 
Sergachev who knew, Marino off the board. 
Tanev looking more and more like the remaining plan. Q gets what Q wants. 

[Devron]

K enough of the Kane crap

 

Who are we taking in the 3rd round guys?
