Try watching the Hawks game in and game out...90%+ like those in the know; watch what he still does on the ice next to crappy line mates and you might begin to understand what doesn't show up on stat sheets how he creates chances that simply line mates aren't good enough to capitalize on. And if you're a stathead because you don't watch the Hawks much, which is likely what you are forming your opinion on, explain this...
Points per game
18/19 = 1.36
19/20 = 1.20
15/16 = 1.29
21/22 = 1.18
20/21 = 1.18
16/17 = 1.08....6th best year for reference
16 years in the NHL and his 5 best ppg seasons, 4 of them happened in the last 4 seasons, his 2nd best season ever was just 2 years ago. Yeah....Kane is in deep decline for years like you said LMAO
If Kane and Nylander were both rentals this year and available at the deadline to playoff teams this season for equal price and any playoff team could take 1 or the other, every GM would take Kane in a heartbeat for one playoff run. You clearly don't watch Kane play night in and night out.
