I suppose it makes it easier to negotiate/find a team if we miss the playoffs again.

1 year would be a coup, assuming it’s not like 9M

I’d prefer 2-3 year term wise but I can’t be mad at that

Stevie remains a master of the deal. One year for a player who wanted 2+. Impressive

I’m genuinely shocked it’s a 1 year deal. I was thinking the hold up was Stevie wanted Kane to take a 2 year deal or a 3 year deal with a lower cap hit. Getting him to accept a one year deal is not what I was expecting.

Just put on Dexter and it starts with a big Showtime graphic 🔥

One year is a nice balance between Kane being able to dip if the Wings regress quite a bit, but also gives Detroit flexibility if Kane gets re-injured. *knocks on wood to either of those outcomes*

1 year is not a bad thing.
Imagine if he said “just give me 3 million and then go get us some more players.”

One year? Damn I was really hoping for at least 2-3.

I don’t think he wants anything crazy he has probably already made most of his money and wants to compete with the guys again for a whole season. 3.5m gives them plenty of room to do what they want to do.

Wow. One year would be amazing. Easy deadline trade (if necessary) plus less worries about his health

1 year deal is ideal, but I’m afraid of the AAV that this may be. There’s no point in a 1 year deal if we can’t also get better than we were last year.

Only 1?

Oh damn, this is great. I was really worried he’d be tied down longer term, and at his age that’s a risk.

How did Steve pull off a 1 year deal.

Wow. I didn’t think 1 year was even an option. Like this a lot more tbh.

1 year is better than 0, im absolutely thrilled to have a full season of Kane!

Do you think he needs to continue to prove that he can perform at that level after the surgery? The amount of games played by those that had it were not many. He may get more games, but how many? Is he in the clear or is there a lifespan to the hip after having that surgery?

After months of hearing term was important to Kane, I’m surprised by this news. I‘m still unclear if the NHL still allows teams to contact any UFA before July 1 (I know they used to, but I read the rule changed; still see mixed reports about whether it’s allowed). But, the only thing I can think of is Kane must have heard other teams weren’t willing to go multiple years either.

Please be a deal with a manageable AAV and performance bonuses that can carry over to 2025-26…

I feel like 1 year says that he’s okay being traded to a cup contender for a pick or two, should it come down to it of course

I wonder what the AAV is. I honestly might have preferred 2.
One year! Wowzer. Guess Kane backed off on his need for 3.
Genuinely shocked at a one-year deal, figured two was all but certain. Thrilled to have him back!
AAV gonna be interesting
With his hip and age I’m happy to go 1 year at a time but AAV is key
This is the news I needed to hear

Kinda crazy if that’s true.
