Sean Maloughney: Evander Kane Update and Thoughts After 3-2 Win Over Lightning

First

Definitely a slewfoot.

Huge loss. Scary injury. Sounds like he'll fully recover at least.

That is unfortunate for Kane and the Oilers. Hopefully his recovery is faster than expected.
On the bright side, it was good to see Campbell finally play well.

Tough blow. Evander was playing well, fitting in nicely.

Hope Kane is alright

Ok so for all you math wizards and capologists….what the Hell does this mean? If Kane is out 3-4 months how much cap space does this buy us? How much will we have mid March when he returns? Or, in a nutshell, are we (frank)ed?

This is a tough blow to the Oilers, there will be more wear and tear on McDavid and
Draisaitl.

They gain what his contact is worth while he is out. They need to fall that amount when he returns.
