If at all histiry tells us G.M.'S usually don't move a player like this until his last year of his contract. g.m.'s want to see how this player performs on top of getting a clearer picture of who they want to protect innthe expansion draft.

The measuring stick will be year over year, which in Evanders case is Dec 3 2016 - dec 3 2017. At that time we can add up the points totals and Kane projects to be a 50 - 60 goal scorer with 25 helpers. Trading Kane at this point would be stupid unless you got an offer that blows you away. Any 1st rd pick that comes back should be in the 2018 or 2019 draft as this years stock lacks the talent of previous drafts.

This last year of his contract also gives G.M.T.M. time to negotiate. It's then that the picture becomes clearer on whether or not he can be rsigned. Hopefully he can be resigned. I think if year over year he hits those projected numbers his next contract should be in the 6 - 8 million a year, a great contract for a 50 - 60 goal scorer.

As far as the Oilers go it wasn't a couple small tweaks that makde them a better team, it's a couple words that make the Oilers contenders - Connor Mc David. Without McDavid Edmonton would be wallowing at the bottom of the league standings,

50-60 goal scorer

I don't think Buffalo moves Kane because they won't get fair value for what he's actually worth on the ice, mostly thanks to him not being very likeable

... and thanks to his career numbers being less than spectacular.

Some Buffalo proposals as to his worth are ridiculous.

I think the one you wrote already was your best one. It is going to be tough to do better.

Chill, Garth.

Kane was only considered untradeable by the ppl who wanted a kindergarten teacher instead of a hockey player.

ECHL > NHL

... and thanks to his career numbers being less than spectacular.

- Aetherial

Some are ridiculous for sure, but he should fetch a good return if traded away. He's young, scores goals and can hit...why we are trading him in the first place is the big question.

Chill, Garth.
