Lmao what? Just go sign someone like Beauvilluer or something to a 1M deal. Kane isn't signing that and we don't have the assets to casually dump that much

beauvillier is almost identical to sheary, he would get healthy scratched. Why wouldnt kane sign that and where else would you spend it if not on a top 6 forward?

Scoring goals isn't the problem. Why add Kane for $5.5m? Just bring Duclair back at $4m and spend the extra on better blue line options. Luby and two rookies doesn't exactly seem like the solution to the defense issues this team has.

by getting another top 6 forward everyone gets slotted where they are supposed to and we have been letting in less goals, we kinda saw that with the duclair trade. The first 5 or games duclair was amazing and then after that I felt that he has only been okay. His numbers are impressive but we have to remember he has been playing with kuch and pointer and at this rate I think he is going to be asking for more than we would want him at. I wanted to get Kane because at his age he probably wont ask for term and is the best player they could probably afford, only player that drives play for a top line that they could get at around 5.5. Maybe he could get cirelli going offensively and he has familarity with hagel. In all honesty we could probably use a better two-way player like stephenson or debrusk but they are probably going to want term. I think defensive D-man are super undervalued and guys like boosh or chatfield would do the job just fine while making a fraction of what it would take to get like Skjei, Pesce, Montour, DeMelo. etc. Lilleberg and Crozier played good enough for bottom pairing minutes imo and Raddysh could rotate in and out as a 7th D. It also doesnt really matter how good they make the roster until they make the system more structured and aggressive, sitting back makes every players job harder and makes them look worse than they are
