Over the cap and no healthy scratches? C'mon now.

The trade offer is pretty terrible too....

Not a chance the Hawks entertain that

i dont think edmonton trades niemeleinen. He will be their 3LD as soon as the audition for 2LD is done in a year.

This does not even come close to getting you 88. Try again.

Unless a deal comes with a cheaper AAV extension I can't see any team paying much more than this for one year or less of Kane.

Florida paid a top prospect and a late 1st round pick for Giroux half retained at the deadline. Kane is easily worth a significant amount more than Giroux.

Yes but there were more pieces as well, 2 prospects and a 5th round pick went with Giroux, there was a 3rd rd to Philly with Tippett but the 1st was also conditional.

Sure. But the main pieces were Giroux for a 1st and a top prospect. The rest was an attempt at balancing some value out. Bunnman probably won't even be extended after this season and FL already let Rubstov walk this summer and no team is going after either of them. CHI has plenty of pieces they could use to balance value that aren't part of their future plans.
