    Oh dear god, is Tim Peel a legitimate source of insider info now?

    I’m happy about this because I believe Kane deserves another shot (because I believe recent transgressions have been overblown due to reputation).

    From an on ice perspective, this is one of the best places he could have landed and makes me happy as a fantasy owner.

    From an off ice perspective, I think this could be a disaster. Edmonton doesn’t have the established leadership group to keep Kane in line. Hopefully it works out but I think a better fit would have been somewhere like Pittsburgh or Boston with the veteran core.

    Anyway, if this is true, between Kane and Malkin, I should be ready to start climbing the ranks in the Dobber Stanley League!

    Let's wait a little. Peel is not the most reputable source. But if true, this is very high risk, high reward. Not sure I trust the Oilers management enough to handle someone like Kane. Guess we'll see.

    Fortunately there’s not much to do in Edmonton so he may stay out of trouble.

    Uh-oh. Anyway, if this is true it’s a massive add to their top 6.

    I think from a pure on-ice perspective it's what the Oilers need. Secondary scoring.

    Also I saw a comment on the 32 Thoughts column from a reader that went something along the lines of: "putting Kane in the Oilers dressing room will be adding nitro to the dumpster fire". Probably very accurate

    TBL pulled out.
    I bet by Friday he's signed with Edmonton. I wonder how much of this stale mate is Kane hoping another team offers the same as Edmonton.

    Kane doesn’t offer secondary scoring. He offers primary scoring.

    Roger's arena, the practice rink and the casino are all in one complex...Kane will need to escorted by Kassian to keep him on the straight and narrow.

    Seriously, Kane at this point would be a rental that Oilers could acquire 25 games before the trade deadline. The Oiler's just have to keep his attention for 40+ games and a playoff run while keeping his off ice antics in check. No need to speculate on possible locker room damage until there is talk of a long term deal being signed. That would go for any team in the league.

    This thread is a little premature, although I do believe he'll sign with Edmonton. As a new Oilers fan I'm fine with the team adding Kane due to what he offers at this ($1-$1.5 mil) cost. If McDavid, Draisaitl, Nurse, etc. all tell Holland they're fine bringing Kane in then I think it's worth trying. He offers a lot of grit and scoring to their top 6 and while he won't stop pucks going into their own net, it will help them in other areas. If this doesn't work, sit him and eat the cost for this season. Seems like a low risk-high reward move.

    I heard Tampa Bay pulled out yesterday and it seems Kane will choose a team by tomorrow or Friday. My guess is it's now down to Florida Panthers or the Edmonton Oilers.

    Kevin Weekes tweeted it's down to 2 teams and a decision could be made as soon as this afternoon.

    He's been played in the past by agents. But I don't know if it's that scenario this time around. It might be a move by the agent to get Florida to up their offer, but not a complete lie from the Kane camp to adjust media perception of the situation.
