    I have my own thoughts on this, most of them starting with no no no no please god no, but I thought it was worth posting as I haven’t heard us to be in on him until now, but the post did have a reliable source on him last year as they broke his trade to NY.

    ETA: apparently Emily Kaplan said it on ESPN today as well. Again, I don’t think it will or should happen, but it’s kind of weird that we were never speculated to be in on him and now all of a sudden multiple people are saying we are.

    Intriguing. Defense is definitely the big issue on this team right now but I also think they only have 5 legit top 6 forwards on the roster. Getting a 6th would allow guys to fit into roles they’re probably better suited for. That surgery is scary though, I’m sure they’d heavily vet his health before pulling the trigger.

    We could get Kane for league minimum and still be absolutely terrible.

    That’s what we need: an aging forward who’s known for poor defensive play.

    I don’t love kane but I wouldn’t mind seeing it happen for cheap. Of course he is not the Patrick Kane be used to be, but you’re kidding yourself if you don’t think he’d be able to at least provide a spark to our offense, especially with how dead it’s been the last couple games

    Naw, not gonna happen. Someone do the remind me thing.

    He’s also one of the worst forwards defensively in the league. Just what we need.

    Let’s talk about what’s most important, what number would he wear

    Best case scenario: he isn’t even meeting with the team to discuss trade talks, he’s meeting with the team to discuss why other offenses are able to dismantle our Swiss Cheese defense🧀

    I may be in the minority here but please yes. He’s still got the talent and I think would add so much to our 2nd line. If he’s doing a cheap contract I say go for it. Our defense gets no better but at this point I think the players aren’t the problem there as much as the coaching is

    Fuck it give me something to tune in for this season

    Sure a legend coming off hip surgery will totally make us better.

    Can we even afford him on a veterans minimum deal?
