Idk how the refs missed it

I can't see any scenario where Kane's value hasn't taken a hit in the last month, do you?

You’re right.

Joe Thornton and Henrik Sedin are average.

Daniel Sedin and Patrick Marleau are the real heroes

So hypothetically:

Lehner has 112 out of 114 saves in the past 4 games

His value is not being affected by his hot play?

His value is based on how many gms are interested in him?

Wouldn't more gms be interested, when he's playing better?

Fitz could you help with these questions?

Actually no that was a genuine ask


I know small-ish sample size relative to his career but this is such a poorly timed slump there's no way it doesnt have a negative effect on his value, at least imo.

Kane is a 30 goal scorer no longer on pace for 30 goals.

He was on pace for 45 after the first 18 games I think

U really think a GM who has years of footage on Lehner will suddenly now think he’s the answer bc of a few good games?

These hot & cold streaks players have only serve to strengthen their views

What I’m saying...
a GM who doesn’t think Lehner is a good goalie isn’t changing his mind
a GM who does think he’s a good goalie is reassured by this stretch

And it’s the same with Kane,
and every other player

I didn’t say any of that

You’re the one who said assists & goals were equal

Jack Roslovic scores his 2nd.

Colin White with an assist.

JT Compher had an OT winner the other day.

It’s getting uglier

So if GMs were gonna use these hot & cold streaks to decode what they should give up for a player....

Then early in the season we could’ve gotten an UNBELIEVABLE return for Kane, right?

Or

Maybe other GMs just realized that a good goal scorer was on an incredible hot streak and would base their offers on what Kane has done throughout his career instead of the first 20games

Lehner has given up 1 goal in the last minute
Put him on pace for a 60.00 goals against

No one will want him now

Isn’t he the best face off guy in the league?

Who should we put out there instead?

no just that after 20 or so ineffective games it is possible teams will drop the price they're willing to pay in an attempt to buy low.

Well of course any team will try to buy as low as possible...
but if there’s a bunch of teams still interested, then his price will remain high
Unless ALL of them just decide to go another direction

I bet there’s GMs who were on the fence about Kane
I’d say it’s safe to assume this slump probably made them lose some interest

I’d also say that a GM who really wants Kane still knows he’s gonna have to give up a decent amount to get him

It’s not like he’s gonna now go for a 3rd & a “C” prospect
