Evander Kane is worth the cost! He won't cost us more than $5 million per year, first round and third round picks.

I'll never forget big Wayne Van Dorp picking a fight with smaller Joey Kocur. That was a bloody mess! http://youtu.be/_XkUdLQHgDw Yzerman's 400th goal was also unforgettable.

Yeah... Lidstrom had a history of doing things like that. Zetterberg also...

Evander Kane is a Better Option than Zach Parise I can’t lie; missing out on Ryan Suter was a huge blow to our defense and a run for the cup this coming year. However… While left wing Zach Parise is a great talent, he is not worth the price Minnesota paid for him. At the prime age of 27 years, Zach Parise scored 31 goals. Kenny Holland was actually pushing the limit offering Parise $90 million over 13 years ($6.92Mp/r). Left wing Evander Kane on the other hand is 6 years younger, stronger, tougher, and bigger! Not even in his prime yet at 20 years, scored over 30 goals last season. Currently he’s a restricted free agent in Winnipeg. I’d offer Evender Kane a long-term 13 year deal worth $80 million. That’s just over $6 million per year. It will cost the Wings a first, second, and a third rounder. However, in the long-term Evander Kane will become a better value than Zach Parise. Next year we need to gear up to buy Shea Weber.

I'd rather have Thomas Jurco than Zach Parise. We must sign more young players like this! Jurco had 6 goals and 9 assists in 6 games as a St. John Sea Dogs... Let's see what he can do in Grand Rapids.

Pavel Datyuk is paid $6.7Million and averages 70 points (23g) every year. Is he worth it? Henrik Zetterberg is paid $6.1Million and averages 73 points (23g) every year. Is he worth it? 21 year old Kane scoring 68 points (25g) is not worth it?????

OFFER COMPENSATION $1,110,249 or below None Over $1,110,249 to $1,682,194 Third-round choice Over $1,682,194 to $3,364,391 Second-round choice Over $3,364,391 to $5,046,585 First-round and third-round choice Over $5,046,585 to $6,728,781 First-round, second-round and third-round choice Over $6,728,781 to $8,410,976 Two first-round choices, one second- and one third-round choice Over $8,410,976 Four first-round choices

Byran Little averages 45 points each year. Last year was no different...Little scored 46 points. Thomas Vanek on the other hand is a solid performer. Vanek averages 64 points every year...last year he scored 61. Evander Kane on the other hand scored 26, 43, 57. Statistics show players are more productive at 23 to 26. I'll predict Kane scores 68 points next year.

Buppy, Statistics prove that Kane will most likely out produce Zach Parise over the next 5 and 10 years. Example... Wayne Gretzky's best years were between 20 through 24. Steve Yzerman's most productive years were at ages 24 through 28. Brendan Shanahan's most productive years were at age 24 and 25. Mark Messier's most productive years were ages 22 through 31. Also.. Which would you prefer, Microsoft stock now... or three years after its initial public offering?

Buppy, My point is the Wings need to focus on signing younger players such as Kane...instead of focusing their efforts on high priced thirty something’s like Doan. If Evander Kane was in the draft, he'd be #1 overall. I wouldn't mind giving up a first round, a second and a third. Remember that Kane has proven himself and a sure thing. $6.7 million per year would be my limit. I don’t think Winnipeg would match that offer. If they did, I’d make a similar offer to their other great player in Blake Wheeler next off season. This strategy is how larger markets can control smaller market teams. OFFER COMPENSATION $1,110,249 or below None Over $1,110,249 to $1,682,194 Third-round choice Over $1,682,194 to $3,364,391 Second-round choice Over $3,364,391 to $5,046,585 First-round and third-round choice Over $5,046,585 to $6,728,781 First-round, second-round and third-round choice Over $6,728,781 to $8,410,976 Two first-round choices, one second- and one third-round choice Over $8,410,976 Four first-round choices

If you look at the great NHL players in history, most of their production is in their mid-twenties. Rarely do they match their earlier performance once they hit 30 years of age. So why do teams throw so much money to 28 and 29 year olds? Statistics show players are most productive at 23 to 26 years of age. For example, Wayne Gretzky's best years were between 20 through 24. Steve Yzerman's most productive years were at ages 24 through 28. Brendan Shanahan's most productive years were at age 24 and 25. Mark Messier's most productive years were ages 22 through 31.

I doubt Ken Holland even knows this message board exists. Although... I'd love to hear his opinion on Evander Kane and why Winnipeg is letting their best player float on the market. Evander Kane has size, toughness, speed, skills, youth and the numbers of greatness. He's not even in his prime....I mean... he's still growing. wow...what a chance we have. Think of it this way... A kid out of high school comes into the NHL...plays in 66 games and scores 14 goals... AND boasts a shooting percentage of 11 percent... which is equal to Zach Parise' career percentage!

18 year old Evander Kane beats Chris Pronger....TWICE!!! Sign him to a long-term $6 million Contract! He's worth it! Look at this young kids wrist shot!
