I guess Kane is most likely out of the picture with the NHL investigation. Will never play in the NHL again if allegations are true
Very easy to answer this.
Kyle Connor and it’s not even close.

Connor then Hall then Kane.
Call me old one more time.

Next year:
Connor / Hall
Kane (if still in the league)
2+ seasons from now:
Connor
Hall
Kane playing adult league beer hockey at his local rink
Yup, this changes my list. Thought of this post and now have changed my mind. I rather have whatever Taylor Hall is with whatever 2LC he has, losing valuable 5-on-5 production vs. the potential zero points that Kane will get. Even if Evander is somehow still an NHLer after this, there is too many concerns about his off-ice douchebaggery to trust in any future going forward.

So I unfortunately did make the deal. Before the news broke about Kane. The deal was Adam Fox, Kane and 4 5th round picks for scheifele, Connor and 2 7th round picks. The picks are what swayed me to help fill out my bench players. That all being said, I did make a second trade involving fox after the fact.
After all said and done, the total transaction is:
My Scheifele, Connor, Landeskog, 2 7th round picks
for
Svecnikov, dougie Hamilton, Ryan O'Reilly, Evander Kane and 2 5th round picks.

Eh - I'm not a huge fan of this deal. I think Kane will be just fine going forward. Everyone is all twitterpated about this gambling stuff - it'll all blow over. But I don't like sheer amount of quality you sent to upgrade bench player draft picks.

I wouldn't be so sure of that, and with his constant reckless thinking (I am assuming that a lot of what she said is true given his character), has me believe that it's a matter of time before he does play himself out of the league. Trouble has followed him in 3 different cities (probably more, but these are the ones we know), and a decade... again, from what we know. So to downplay it and not take it seriously, would be foolish.
Alex Tuch past 3 years = 49 points over 82 games. He's a power forward, when he was Kane's age, Kane was doing more-or-less about the same. Only difference (beyond being out six-months) is he doesn't get the drama around him, causing the owner anxiety of whether he'll still play. The talk last year was he would retire. Granted it didn't happen. Instead he had a career year. Regardless, Tuch will become a better player. Power forwards take longer to develop. Look at Blake Wheeler. Then there is the fact I also get a mid-2nd round pick for 2022 if Evander does play this season as protection.
I don't think anyone is overreacting or twitterpated (whatever that means) to this, but we're taking the accusations seriously, because some of us are well aware of his history and as someone who lives in one of the cities he played in, and I know a lot of stories that the rest of you haven't heard, it makes it that more significant, that he needed to be moved.
Regardless, it's better to get a player of value while you still can get that, before the potential news breaks out, the accusations are in fact true. Even if he does play, sometimes it's smart to move on from a toxic situation. I can't trust the player anymore. He can be someone else' headache. And for Tuch and a 2nd (if he does play) is what I get for a return, it's a gamble (no pun intended), but one I consider a potential monstrous win for my team.

Or was it, your post was just in a different thread. Not my fault, there is a million Tuch and Kane posts. lol
