<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HiddenValley</b></div><div>You are making this bigger than it is. I agree that Boston doesn’t need Kane. You also act like salary retention isn’t a thing.

All I’m saying is your original statement that you wouldn’t touch Kane for a cap dump and a 3rd rounder is ridiculous. And you agree with the final sentences of this unnecessarily long reply.

Edit: and Chicago would decline what you offered. If Nick Foligno gets a first at the deadline, so will Patrick Kane. But it doesn’t matter in this scenario because Boston shouldn’t be targeting Kane.</div></div>

Boston has 33k of cap space. Salary retention does not really matter. Even at 50% retention and moving Smith out. It’s still a problem.

Under the circumstances, for this team, Kane is bad value at any cost.

So yes, they should not even consider 3rd/Smith. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Kane is a name only. He’s having a terrible season. Plays zero defense. No physical play at all. The exact opposite of what they need. Playing through an injury. If they are going to trade for someone that only offers offense it’s not someone shooting 5%.

So many better options that don’t carry that cap hit and cost much less. If they are going to target a one dimensional player, factoring in production/cap hit/acquisition cost, his own teammate Domi would be much better value. Someone like Zach Parise would be better value than both.

But that is not the type they should be targeting anyway.

Now add there won’t be a bidding war as his trade protection severely limits their options.

Throw in Boston’s limited cap space, meaning if they did that he’d be the only move they could make, and it’s the wrong one, it makes zero sense.

Realistically 2nd/Smith/mid level prospect is probably close to actual value. But personally, would not touch him at all. I prefer actual value over name brand recognition.
