Thanks Broncs! I sure hope he can make it. Up 3-1 or not we need him there. I do not want to give the Lames any momentum!

I don't know how Holland will keep Kane, but I sure hope he finds a way that doesn't handcuff us from further additions. We're already up against it as it is. With the stats Fog just posted, maybe Holland can convince Kane that Edmonton is such a perfect fit that those numbers are not possible anywhere else, and to stay here he should actually pay us?!! Too much? yeah, I get carried away occasionally.

All true, the McD effect.
Kane's family is in Vancouver where I'm assuming his kid is and why Edmonton is a good fit.
His GF and new baby are supposedly in California (she's a model) which would make Edmonton not a good fit for next season.

She isn't just a model..... she's WOW [b She looks like a young Anjelina Jolie. My envy level for Kane just spiked.

There will still be teams that are hesitant because of his past. ie: I assume we can eliminate San Jose from the sweepstakes. I sure hop we can keep him. Seems like such a great fit!

The Hockey Guy has a pretty interesting take on Evander Kane's "fit" with the Oilers and why he thinks it's a perfect fit, and why he thinks it's the best suited fit for Kane. It's a decent watch:

Interesting and kind of mindblowing all at the same time. There are so many different scenarios that could happen that I had no idea could happen. What's real interesting to me is that in a good percentage of them the Oilers are tied to Kane by the negotiations, I love that possibility. I also like the breakdown of how his contract could get payed out that involves the Oilers. We could be looking at a win, win, win and I would love, love, love it!!

Thanks for posting that Toley. A very good breakdown of the possibilities in a weird situation. Fascinated to see how it plays out.

Sounds like this isn't going to be resolved before free agency so he will hit the open market and then it will need to be sorted out after that if someone offers him a contract.

Lots of speculation indeed. Seems Kane will get some sort of compensation from the Sharks. How the rest plays out we shall see.

I find it funny that the arbitrator takes a whole "month off" just before one of the busiest parts of an arbitrators season? and there's not another one around?? Not saying there's anything underhanded here, just weird timing and it means no one is going to make a move for EK until his status with SJ is known, it wouldn't make much sense to get into talks with him before hand. I'm pretty sure EK is pretty pissed at this as well and it seems like just another 1-finger salute to him from the powers that be.

I'm pretty sure EK is pretty pissed at this as well and it seems like just another 1-finger salute to him from the powers that be. Have to deal with it along with the Keith changing the rule so we get no recapture situation. To me, in the end it sounds ideal if Kane's contract is upheld, my hope is that Kane at 5 mil per year or less on a 3 year term finds it's way here. Even if we have to give up a Pulj or Yammo going back the other way. My belief is we have enough growth from within but also addressing the need to win now. Is Pulj a Nichushkin type player, that may very well be. Is Yammo improving, yes he is. All kinds of risks. Kane at 3-5 mil per year however it works for 3 years seems solid to me. Put aside the stats, we have swagger with him that few other players can provide. Plus Kane stays healthy unlike a Josh Anderson or whichever player has been put out there to replace him. We have some downside too with Kane and his antics...

I'm pretty sure EK is pretty pissed at this as well and it seems like just another 1-finger salute to him from the powers that be. Both he and the Oilers are getting the "salute", because it is well known that the Oilers want to sign him. Now anyone interested in signing him could lose out on their second or third choices if they fail to sign Kane, because all the other options will have been signed at or near free agency. The one saving grace the Oilers have is that we are the last team to have signed him, so we should have the right to talk to him and see if there could be a deal worth waiting for. Maybe Holland could outline different scenarios that are possible to happen and offer pre-approved solutions for each scenario. The circumstances seem very convenient for the NHL officials not to have a solution before free agency. If the conclusion had any importance to the NHL league front office, I'm fairly certain they would be able to find another mediator to get the job done. Why is this mediator so "special" that he can't be replaced by another mediator that has an open calendar space before free agency?

Why is this mediator so "special" that he can't be replaced by another mediator that has an open calendar space before free agency? The Sharks are also getting the salute. I'm sure the NHLPA will have some say in all of this. It also affects all the other teams going into the draft and beyond that. So this affects everyone, not just us. Just trying to be fair. We don't want the short end of the stick, many teams are probably getting the short end. There's probably a team or two that will pay 6 mil + for him, this puts us out of reach. So in the end if things end up favorable for us, to bring him back while the NHL is getting in the way it ends up helping us in the end.
