Finally a realistic post with trades that I can actually agree with.

Because most teams not named Oilers would decline.

Habs are not trading for Kane. They probably don't pick him up on waivers - I'm not joking.
Armia has only one year left on his contract and isn't paid much and Habs will keep him for the year.

BUT... that being said...Edmonton can easily find a suitor for Kane. Maybe for a 5th round pick to Carolina?

I can agree MTL isn’t trading for Kane doesn’t make sense for them. But I disagree when it comes to his value he is worth a lot more than just a 5th he scored 25 goals last year when he wasn’t even healthy and is still very effective physically and tough to play against when he isn’t scoring.

I don't see a trade fit for any one of the non-Oilers teams here.



He's got a full NMC with serious off-ice question marks. There's a reason Edmonton got him for basically nothing and signed him for a below-market contract in the first place. You have to find a team okay with the off-ice stuff, cap space long term and that Kane is cool with going to.

I think it’s more of a question if Kane is LTIR bound for the season or not.

I mean you talk about this off ice stuff but what has he done off the ice that has been bad with his time in Edmonton? There’s a lots of teams looking for top 6 physical wingers all the time.

The first point is an argument for him staying in Edmonton, not trading him. The second point is that the number of teams looking for a winger like Kane is far less important than the number of teams that would want Kane that Kane would be willing to go to. Because that # could easily be zero - its up to Kane.
