McDavid has had 1 year where he missed time with an injury. Kane is a 7 year vet and he's missed significant time in almost every one. It all depends what happens these next two years. If he has 2 similar years of 20 goals, 35-45 points and wants to resign at 5-5.5 mil, sure. I'd just be very wary of giving him a huge deal.

Kane's not asking for more than his contract salary next year. Let's cross that bridge when we get to it, before persecuting him for his unreasonable demands.

And, fwiw, McDavid missed six weeks with an injury in each of the last two seasons. (But he isn't asking for more than his contract salary next year either.)

So give it to him ................what he brings to the team is what we need more of actually............ not less of.

Agree. These playoffs are rough. We need more Kanes, not less.

He wasn't in the NHL last year. I don't care what happened in juniors.

Point is Kane is good enough that someone will pay a lot for him, I just hope that's not us in 2 years.

Unless it's made in Ireland I can't trust it.

The Japanese actually make pretty good whiskey. The Scots still do it the best and I will fight anyone who dares disagree. I would rank: Scotland, Ireland, US/Canada, Japan.

Budweys had a sale on Saturday. 4.49 a lb I get one every couple months.

Ahh the Budwey's "meat sales" I went in there one time on a Saturday and every single register was open and the conveyor belts were chock full of meat. I thought I died and went to heaven.

You don't care what happened in juniors? Why?

If it's good enough for every scout in the Pros, it should be good enough for anybody else.

I honestly don't get what McDavid has to do with anything. Even if you count his injury in two straight years, he doesn't have half the injury history Kane does.

I mentioned other power forwards who are physical. That seem to have no issue staying healthy. For some reason people think that if you hit people and go to the net it's OK to miss 20 games a year

Your right McDavid did not get traded for Myers . That is why his record does not count.

Myers isn't a shining example of durability either.

Can we never mention Kane and McDavid in the same sentence again either? McDavid had more points in like 20 less games as an 18 year old.

You will always hate Evander because of the trade . He plays really aggressive style . Probably one of the best forecheckers in the league . You are right . He gets dinged up . Hopefully he can find a way to be a little more durable . But he sure does create space for those playing with him.

And has every single leadership qualities you want from a captain


I'm on your side with Kane 35 points is not impressive at all to me and I'm pretty sure 10 of those points came on open nets at the end of the game


Wayne Simmons is the player you want kane to be and he's not even close to that

I would take Myers back here if we had the chance, I know it sounds crazy.

I don't hate him. I don't like the trade, but Kane is a good player. He just isn't going to be worth a big deal that he probably will want down the road.

I didn't bring it up, I responded to someone else who said they didn't think Kane would be back past his deal

Exactly. Kane is good. We see it when he's on his game. Just saying he had a good year is kind of bizarre

20 goals is usually the mark of a "good" year.
