Pens can just trade Jarry to Detroit for a 2nd like you did instead of taking on the Nurse contract.

Retain 15% and it's similar, but not the same. I don't care if you think the accusations of him being a "locker room cancer" are false. In business, perception is just as important as the reality, and CHI already has more controversy than they can handle. I have watched a few videos he did where he was working with charities and stuff, he does seem like an alright dude, for whatever that is worth. But the history is undeniable. Also, he has a full NMC, that I HIGHLY doubt he is waiving for a rebuild.

Though, CHI was supposedly kicking tires on Nichushkin at one point. So, I guess anything is possible.

Your guys D core is lacking puck movers and I guarentee Dubas would be open to taking Nurse to compliment Karlsson. Not much great LD-men in free agency

Remember that chicago also sent a 2027 4th round pick to vancouver, not the case here, just the second being sent. Also Kane will probably waive his NMC after being scratched in the SCF, along with no longer wanting to deal with the media here.

So you know all the rumours around Kane are false because… you are in the dressing room?

Please, he couldn’t get along with his teammates in Winnipeg or Buffalo. Then you factor in all his well documented off ice domestic issues… not exactly the type of character you want around a young rebuilding team.

Hawks decline.

I think he'll be unfairly compared to the other Kane if this trade goes down. There is a significant meathead portion of our fanbase that hates anything Davidson does and they're still crying that St. Patrick was traded. They'll hate Evander just on that alone. Plus with the controversy issues here with including two current ones they're dealing with, I think the drama that may or may not come with Evander isn't worth the risk which is unfortunate. I like him as a player and think he could be beneficial to this roster.

Wasn't he scratched because he was injured?

Lol hawks will not decline this if Kane becomes available, same team that employs seth jones with reports of 'locker room' problems. Plus he won the courst case against his wife, full custody. Hawks need wingers, and Davidson will take Kane

yes, but he also wants to play second liner, and on a cup contending team like the oilers, 5.125 is too much on the third line

Chicago declines. I don't care what OP says, Kane has a history of being a problem in the locker room. No thanks.

Davidson isn't going to pass on a 20 goal scorer winger that comes off the books for the 2026 offseason, when he plans to make his splash in free agency

Sure he would. 20 goals can be found elsewhere without having to deal with E. Kane's bulls**t.

LOL, in what way? To overpay a free agent with only two years of term? He wont be able to find it in free agency or without giving up assets via trade. There has not been a single issue of Kane in the oilers locker room

Yes he is.
