Give him 5..let him retire a Red Wing! He's a point let game at 35……5 is gravy!!!!
Bring him back
I don't like the posturing and the nonchalant "it WAS nice" but ok, negotiating ploy I guess. And if possible I'd love to have him back BUT — if there's whining about " I wanna play with Alex" then – no. They don't decide lines and FWIW–how many goals did Alex have before Kane, and how many after…..
He should stay. But probably not? I like his play and skills. He also matches up well with any of the other players. My humble opinion to Yzerman is, keep the sob, he's worth it. The value is there…..IMHO, of course.
build team defense?
keep it going, Kane
Kane with a full off-season of pain free training is going to come back a 90P guy
3 x 3 For Kaner
LEAVING š¢
Im not "hockey smart" but I agree with you 100%. SHOWTIME, Im a fan. He reminds me of part of the team the wings had when they won the Stanley Cup.
I agree other players backed off him when he had the puck…for the first couple months. But towards the end I noticed defenses weren't so scared to play tight on him and were able to prevent him from making a play. Once one guy was gutsy or dumb enough to try to close the space between him and Kane and it worked, everyone else noticed and it slowly changed. I know this because it was something I watched very closely all year. He needs to get that speed and explosiveness back if he's going to earn that respect of players backing off again. If he can't do that, I personally don't want to spend the money on him.
Moved to Fl in 08, and I love the young core but Kane made me watch like I used to watch Stevie Y back in the day.
His end of season comments were all speaking about the team in past tense. Unless the Wings throw huge $ with term at him, I doubt he stays.
Iād leave if I were him, Kane doesnāt want to play Dump and Chase hockey.
this roster sucks,
and can only play that type of game..
I doubt Kane wants to play with losers like Andrew Copp, Czarnik, Holl, Petry, Fabbri, Veleno, Rasmussen, and Perron.
Thanks for playing as a Wing for a bit Patrick.
That was great.
The Patrick Kane experiment as a Red Wing worked out great for both sides. He helped the team flirt with a playoff spot and Kane used the year as a benchmark on how his hip surgery went. It was a win win situation. However, from a players point of view, what does Detroit have to offer? Money mainly but probably not a cup run in the next three years. Kane will be 36 (November 2024), a three year contract will take him to 38 almost 39 years of age? No team will sign him at that age for another two years. I think Kane will want to cash in NOW. One last contract with 4-5 year term to a potential stanley cup team. A last chance at a cup with a substantial pay raise. As far as playing with Debrincat? We all know players come and go. Who says Debrincat will be here for another three years. I wouldnt want to possibly jepordize my career on a friend who may be or may not be here.. Debrincat only had one more assist than he had last year. For these reasons, I dont see Kane in a Red Wing uniform next year.
Yes. Sign PK!
I almost dropped my drink when you mentioned the Datsyuk comparison! Exactly what I was thinking!
Gotta bring Showtime back. He's good for a good three years probably more. That's what this team is missing is a Federov, Yzerman, Shanahan, player you can always count on Kane can fill that position
he's gone. DET cannot afford him with contracts like Petry's affecting what they're able to do
Game-winning goals, 2023-24: Copp: 3 // Perron: 4 // Raymond: 4 // Larkin: 5 // Kane: 7
If people are worried, go look at the 02 Wings roster (and salaries)
Just give him 3 and use it as an asset to attract more talent — get a better coach too. Use the coach as leverage to keep Kane. LaLonde is mid
You should do a video on the 02 Wings comparing it to the Kane situation. Look at Hull, Chelios, Hasek
Wings need to be bold right here.
Hire Fedorov, keep Kane, drop some shitty contracts, get some dope defense, make the playoffs. Let's go
Kane is a Red wing! Where can he go and find love like he has found in Detroit. We love this guy, and we'll pay his asking price. And he's worth it…
I got the dam jersey lol
Not sure it matters. Need defense and the offense was good before he signed
He's leaving. Just listen to the way he was speaking at his end of year conference
BRING HIM BACK! Open the purse strings Stevie
Kane mentally checked out a month ago. Watch his body language change down the stretch. He was either hurt or done.
He's a liability on defense and was mia during the Larkin injury month.
Hopefully gone! He is and will not participate in the team defense required to win long term. He did have timely goals this year for the wings, however his total lack of defense and absolute unwillingness to battle anyone for the puck will not help the overall push to make the playoffs. Even Yzerman states in his year end address that that forwards need to participate more in the defense
I want him bad so bad. Donāt leave me Kane. lol I know the feeling youāre talking about. That star power was back in Detroit, I donāt want it to leave again goddamnit. He looks so damn good in that jersey and I think he has a lot to do with Raymondās offensive burst.
We should certainly sign him. A good number is 3 year with a 4th option. Dollar amount is where the issue is.
Iām not ruling it out, but I think he wants a longer contract than Detroit will offer. But thatās just me speculating, of course. Most of me wants him back, because it has been so exciting. I have had the exact same feeling of āanything can happenā when he is on the ice. The one thing that kind of makes me think itās not 100% a good idea is that I think the Cat-Larkin-Raymond line is the future and Kaneās presence might mess that up.
I think Kane might want to help Buffalo reach the playoffs next year. Maybe thatās where he wants his son to grow up. They could really use someone like him on their team. I will surely keep a close eye on whichever team he joins.
By the way, I have started to get the same āanything can happenā feeling when Raymond is on the ice. For good reasons! Need to get his jersey! Iām from Sweden, it makes total sense. šš¤©
Kaner go back to the Blackhawks
If Kane wants to return then work a deal, otherwise, Wings have talent in the pipeline.
2 yrs at 5 million or 3 yrs at 4 million.
Resign Kane and bring in Stamkos!
I bet money he gets an extension ,yzerman would make a big mistake letting him go with alll the chemistry and leadership he brings to this team it makes no sense for him to be gone too soon
Wings havenāt had a FA player on the team like Kane since Hossa. Hossa made the core forwards (Datsyuk, Zetterberg, Franzen) better, simply by creating space for the other players on his line. Kane does the same thing. Yes, heās 35, but he still has hands that can dish and score, and his mind hasnāt gotten slower – he still thinks the game at a high pace.
If he isnāt offered 3 years or more at 5m+, he walks.
Holl was a horrible signing – Toronto was right to ride him so hard. Petry needs to go as well. Chiarot was a stopgap, but his time is done as well.
Keep Gostisbehere as an offensive defenseman. Walman and Sieder as 1D, 2D/3D.
And for goodness sakes, keep Michael Rasmussen healthy all season. Heās a heart and soul guy like Draper – not the most skilled, but doesnāt give up on a shift. #LGRW
Yes! Sign him! They NEED his skills as a player, team mate, mentor. I donāt know what that deal looks likeā¦3 years sounds like good compromise.
