So you honestly think those contracts have nothing to do with the fact they won 2 cups?

Nothing to do with what they are getting paid.

Kessel took a pay cut. He's skilled. End of discussion.

Toews can do more than score. I'm sure the same is with Kane. He may have gotten a bit of a boost because he wanted to be the same.

And two Conn Smythe trophies between them.
- JohnFergusonJr

The first and foremost priority is to win as many games as possible. Those big contracts will hurt them. Looks like bad management.

I tried to look for them but just don't have the time, I remember the Vegas one clearly.

I honestly don't know if E Kane has ever posted anything stupid on twitter, I was referencing Tyler Seguin's Steers and Q..... comment after he was traded to the stars.


I do recall Kane posting pics of himself in Vegas flashing some large bills... and then there was an outcry because we were in a recession and the 1%'ers and blah blah blah people with money aren't allowed to have it or spend it or flaunt it.

Before they arrived, they didn't win very many games. And people didn't go watch them either. They were underpaid for a few years too. They deserved it.

2 cups in 5 years..I think they have some wiggle room and have made a large amount of money in the playoffs alone and should continue for the next few years.

Might be able to dangle T.Biggs, the former 1st round pick in the deal. I don't like the kid, but others may be high on him.

Franson + Biggs + 2nd

for E.Kane?

Omg, the jets gym has already said he want a young signed quality nhl player, not scraps and b prospects

Toews deserves it.. Kane not so much. Spending that much on two players is risky.. See Pittsburgh..

We dont have the pieces to get him.

Unless we are moving, kadri or JVR

The peg wont take our crap: Reimer, Franson or B/C prospects.

- Fakepartofme


I don't think this is true, but I doubt management want to pay the price for an apparent huge risk.

Good signings by Chicago today. Toews is worth every penny, they simply would have had the success without him.

Yes and everything every GM has ever said in any media publication has always been 100% true and every trade that was ever made in the NHL always began and ended with the same players...?
