<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ChiHawk</b></div><div>If he continues to perform like he did last season this season (no trade is going to happen for Kane in the first couple months), then no, you're simply wrong....age isn't a factor for a rental if they're performing. Especially for Kane's style of play. If you're talking about acquiring him beyond this season then you have a point, otherwise he's simply not going to fall off a cliff for a team acquiring him to use him for a few months...that's just silly and strawman argument.</div></div>

No, im not. A 24 year has more value than a 28 year pld has more value than a 34 year old, all other things equal.
This isnt a straw man argument, this is you hyperfocusing on a single part of an argument and refusing to admit something that has been part of the sport forever.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ChiHawk</b></div><div>You're simply making a strawman argument that objectively doesn't hold water given his on-ice performance which as of now that says the exact opposite of what you are suggesting. Not to mention he also is known for having one of the hardest working off-ice training regimens. You're grasping at straws at best just trying to be a contrary. Players don't fall off a cliff that hard from one season to the next due to age...doesn't work like that. LOL Moving on</div></div>

No, im reminding you that aging is a thing that happens and you take a players age in account when you are trading for him.
This is a simple fact, and one of several i made. But you chose (again) to latch on to it and make it the central point of the thread.
Any team trading for kane will take his age i to account, among other things it will help determine his value. It's wild that you're fighting this at all

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ChiHawk</b></div><div>Arguably, he's 'turned it on' better then any current hockey player has in a consistent way. He's more proven in that sense then any elite player playing today IMO with demonstrating that as recently as 19/20 9 points in 9 games. You keep bringing up age yet he's objectively shown nothing to suggest that's a problem yet. Age is just a number until the impact effects performance and that number varies from player to player. Until he objectively shows he's slowing down, it has little to merit when you bring it up.</div></div>

But that's the thing. The risk of him declining is massive. It lowers his value and even if he was good 2 years ago, players age in dog years in their 30s.
He might be great until hes 40, but he's more likely to fall off a cliff sooner than later.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dannibalcorpse</b></div><div>I agree with the first part - but I'll also throw out that adding Kane to this Leafs team would be setting him up perfectly to succeed. Remember - he still put up 92 points last season despite an unhealthy amount of ice time shared with Kirby Dach. I don't think this is the deal (take out Nylander, change one of those 1sts to a 2nd, and double-retain him down to $2.625M and it should be closer to real value) but putting Kane in that top 6 would be lethal.</div></div>

Well yeah, at the right price he's a boon for any team, but age, contract status and all the other things are big sticking points. Kane is a good hockey player, but even at market value he's not the guy the leafs should be throwing futures at
