Servalli thinks it’s down to Edmonton and Florida but any signings are on hold while the league investigates Kane crossing the border Illegally.

Kinda bizarre journalists still underestimate OV and refer to his play as other worldly. Hes had one season where he wasnt a top player and is already the best goal scorer in the modern era. How is him playing great surprising?!

Is Crosby playing great lately surprising?!

It's over, Pitt and Boston pretty much locked up the final two spots bearing any major breakdown.

Well don't have to worry about the Sabres, but anyone got a goalie somewhere in the minors cause we are running out.

Cory Schneider for a 2022 unprotected 1st round pick would be a good deal for the Sabres

The gap between these 8 teams and the rest has been evident for many weeks now. This is why rumours about NYI and Philly being buyers made zero sense. Looks like it's making sense now. So basically just remove NYI and Philly from the rumour chart and just randomly insert NYR, Pitt, Bos. Good to go.

My friend Enrique says if Kane uses his last name the border issue will be all good.

Bucs won a Superbowl with Antonio Brown last year and he is way worse of a teammate and human than Kane could ever hope to be. The negative impact of "bad eggs" in a locker room is overblown. Kane is a good player and will help the Oilers serious depth problem even if he sucks as a person. Oilers kinda have nothing to lose anyway.

I'm guessing not a popular opinion, haha

While I could see the West do its own thing, this is far most likely down the line

I'm with you. They have nothing to lose. It will be pennies on the dollar. And Holland has a long history of bringing guys with baggage onto the roster.

I thought Kane was unvaccinated. Part of the deal would have to be getting vaccinated. More likely, one of the Florida teams sign him.

Seems like there's some reports of Kane going to the Oil
- eichiefs9

Kane not going anywhere until league conducts its own investigation of his crossing border without medical clearance. Sounds like they started investigation today.

Why would that be?

Panthers are all vaccinated, and I haven’t heard of any TB players who aren’t.

Maybe I have something wrong here. The Florida teams don’t need Kane to make the playoffs. But Edmonton does. Edmonton plays half their games in Edmonton. Bertuzzi can’t play in Canada. Toronto is the only team from Canada that could play either of the Florida teams until the SCF. It’s not likely that Winnipeg or Calgary will be playing in the SCF. I’m willing to learn if I’m missing something.
