Kane scored more goals in 50 games than Zadina got in 250.

I agree he is going to get money and term. of course I want him back, but that conversation 100% sounded like Kane & his agent will hear out the wings then decide whether or not to hit the market

I also don't think that's true. He seemed very much interested in staying, he's a pro so he's not going to show his hand as it's business. BUT he even commented on who he would play with next year would indeed be a big question mark-I think he'll come back. DeBrincat said he also thinks he will be back as well so thats something

No one celebrating was my point. Kane doesn't have the miles and time to waste playing rebuild with us. He needed this year to prove he still has it. He's done that and now he'll set his sights on a true contender. He was an awesome bonus this year, but I'm not under any delusion he has loyalty to the Wings. You don't honestly believe that. Every player says empty platitudes like that to the media. And every core player wants their GM to add talent for them to play with. We certainly could see some moves this summer, but IMO it will be much quieter than what your hoping for. If SY was unwilling to give up guys like Berggren and his draft picks at the TDL, he certainly isn't going to part with them now. Furthermore, guys like Chiarot and Copp are going nowhere. SY is building a culture, and he's not going to jump ship on the vets he's made commitments to. And they're not even bad, so why move them? Don't listen to the hater(s) screaming nonsense about them 24/7.

Kane effortlessly scoring that season ending shootout goal to no celebration perfectly encapsulates the season and his time here. He's gonezo

Dude is wearing a lot of emotion on his sleeve and it's understandable

I forgot about Larkin’s wife losing her baby. When the reporters asked about his year he almost broke down. He’s in a lot of pain and I genuinely hope he gets help and works through it. That was tough to watch.

You my be right, but it sounded like if he could get term here, he'd be interested.

Cossa vs Wallstedt going to the shootout tonight Aaaaand Cossa out duels Wallstedt…again Mazur, Lombardi, and ASP all need to gain strength. Most of the other top end prospects already have bigger frames than Lucas did.

Makes lots of sense.

Ghost provided something we didn't have, but he made Chiarot/Petry/Maata/Holl look like Konstantinov out there. And you can't have a Dman who only plays 15 min at even strength a night, almost exclusively in the Ozone, with almost 60 pts, @ 4+ a year and still be -16. It's no wonder he's bounced around the league to only teams desperate for scoring. He's literally not a Dman. He would be amazing as a 4th line forward if you could talk him down to $1 mil and only stepping on the ice on the powerplay.

It's also why I think Yzerman should focus on a top 4 LHD and not a RHD. Seider and ASP will have the right side taken care of. Get a guy like Chychrun, and Chiarot could play on the right side until ASP is ready for that role. He has experience playing on the right side. Also agree on Ghost. He was a good fit this season. But let Seider and Edvinsson run the pp units next season.
