Still tough to tell how things will unfold with pending UFA Patrick Kane. His camp led by agent Pat Brisson still having conversations with the Red Wings. But the market opens Monday…

I think Kane is a litmus test, he’s made it known he wants to keep playing for playoff caliber teams
I don’t think we desperately over pay him so if he comes back then he believes in the direction of the team and trusts that yzerman is making the needed tweaks to get us back in the postseason
E: Hana speculates that the term is the hold up, Kane wants 3 years and Yzerman doesn’t
I want him on this team.
I’d be fine with 3 years.
I’m sure the rangers want him back bad. But does he really want that? Idk imma say he stays
If we can get him on a 2 year deal (even overpaying) I’ll gladly take that. 3 is pushing it though.
Holl got 3 years, give it to Kane if that’s what it takes to come back.
Worst case in the 3rd year he’s just a PP specialist for us
I wish the NHL had team or player options that the MLB uses. It makes negotiating for term a lot easier.
A 3 year deal for a 35 year old is never a good idea. This specific 35 year old has a bad hip and we don’t have a physical enough team to protect him. I like Kane, but I think we have to move on.
3 years is fine, the cap is rising again and one more year wont kill this team. I mean come on you gave Copp 5 and Holl 3 but you wont give showtime 3?
I’ll be honest if the hold up is us not giving him 3 years I’ll be very disappointed. I don’t see how we replace his point production.
Brisson is only using us to leverage more $$ from the Rangers.
I’m hopeful Kane will get a 3 year term for just under 5m AAV, he is a great fit for the Wings.
This contract could potentially prevent us from signing the star forward we will never get from our prospect pool when he becomes available. 2 years max, and I’m not really excited about it
Easy. 3x5M with no trade protection in year 3 to any team not mathematically eliminated from the playoffs. He gets his term but had to give up some thing.
Kane can stay if he wants.
