I'm thinking 2-3 years with a signing bonus or something. We have several other contracts expiring and I can see several of them not coming back. We have the space in terms of cap.

[@vlad2838]

Kane seemed happy with being able to have his family and parents from Buffalo at games. The proverbial career/life balance is important to someone at his stage. He’s also pretty cerebral, and being able to learn from the likes of Yzerman prepares him for eventual mgmt. roles if that’s what he seeks.

[@alfiesmullet1311]

He could go to Buffalo and be even closer though

He was just shy of a point per game as he stands now, he could approach 90 over a full healthier season.

@@Ryan-yi5ro Our forward prospects are not ready. Casper won't put up similar numbers. Danielson is still a year or two away. Not unless there's a miracle and Danielson just tears it up. Kane freed up guys Raymond. Is he a defensive liability? Yes at times he is. Does he make up for it offensively? Yes he does. Kane really helped our team. Do you have any ideas for replacing his production? There's not a lot of options. Even most of our defensive prospects aren't ready. Edvinsson proved that. Edvinsson has a ton of potential, but he's no Seider. Take the cards you're given. Resign Kane. What's your idea?

Hawks Insider, credibility, in-depth coverage One of these things is not like the other.

[@elizabethgriffin5733]

Yzerman needs to sign Kane for 3-4 years, he's a point a game player. He's a Red Wing now....I'll be upset if he leaves!!!

[@paydrough]

I think this all depends on how Kane felt about his OT winner against the Blackhawks this past season. In my mind his only options are Chicago and Detroit. If that reception and the result he got in Chicago brought him closure, then he is going to remain with Detroit. If that goal and reception made him feel loved and super nostalgic, then he goes back to Chicago. Two other factors will tip the scale, IMO as well. If the hip resurfacing held up when he gets examined at end of the season, tilts in favor of Detroit. But the chance of the captaincy being thrown at him for Chicago would definitely tilt the scales in their favor. I’m talking out of my a** of course. And watch the Utah Yetis land him. Haha. But seriously I see no reason at all for him to go anywhere other than Chicago or Detroit. I’m a Wings fan and I really hope the Wings get him on a 4 year contract with a team option for year 4. Who wants to bet me $7.00 American on this?

[@itaintobeezy]

I think Utah would be the cool money move, Kane looks like he’s from Utah already lol plus he could be the face of the franchise alongside Keller for its first 3-4 seasons and make 4/5 mill a year or even more

[@Maxharddrive64]

I'd like to see Kane sign for 2 years in Detroit they do however have to make room for some of these young guys and that might mean taking a step back in points so it's definitely a balancing act 4 Steve Yzerman

[@stevemcevilly6762]

If Kane said he wanted 15m and you can choose the term what are you going to give him? 3x5m or 5x3m?

[@paydrough]

Wow. Very interesting. I would say Stevie would go for the 3x5.

[@brycecurtis2910]

​@@paydroughlol what. You would be paying him the same amount either way but with the 5 you would get 2 extra years...

[@paydrough]

please don’t criticize my comment when I’ve been drinking. I no math good!!! But I think I’d rather be out of a Kane contract after 3 years.

[@Chaosmite]

I know conditional contracts aren’t a thing, but if it is, I would give him a 2 years guarantee $10M AAV, 2 years extended on condition of his performance, $10M AAV if he is still point per game or $6-8M AAV depending on how well he played

[@charedboy2]

7 game winning goals, worth everything he wants. I'm signing him.

[@Hockeytownmaniac]

You give Kane 3yrs. Give him a good signing bonus with performance bonuses and a cap hit around what Perron was making. To make it work better, you try and trade Fabbri so you get that cap and have room for a potential prospect to make the lineup.

[@leftygtrplr6184]

There were items on both sides of the balance sheet for Kane. Great veteran Stanley Cup winning experience, I think 7 GWGs, etc., I would also say there were a few games that he played a major part in losses for the Wings when his man scored the GWG, etc.

[@paulwt9783]

"there were a few games that he played a major part in losses when his man scored the GWG" Name those games, please. Bc I don't think that actually happened. The only one even close and that you're probably thinking of is the OT loss at Pittsburgh near the end, but that wasn't Kane's man, it was Gostisbehere's - Kane was busy covering his man at the time hence his half-assed attempt to cover Ghost's man too on the winning shot. And that was Lalonde's fault anyway for putting those three out there in OT together, and wo even having possession. Kane's defense was by all metrics actually among the best among Detroit's top 6 forwards. He was virtually never exploited 5v5. "His man" 5v5 is usually always the last trailing d-man. 88 is given the least defensive responsibility and he meets it. 3 on 3 OT is different, but if he is used right he is a winning weapon in OT and not a losing liability. As we saw - he was in on 4 OT winners.

[@leftygtrplr6184]

@@paulwt9783 I appreciate your passion. For sure, I believe it was the Pittsburgh game and there were a few others where his lack of defense led to goals that ultimately led to a loss. I'm not going to split hairs. The professional analysts will talk about his defensive liabilities. Either way, he is a great offensive player and brings a lot of intangibles to the team.

[@brent_anderson88]

I could see 2 possible contracts in Detroit 3 year 5-6.5 mil or a 5 year deal front loaded

[@johanz1985]

Steve will get it done

[@Razre]

Kane used an awful lot of past tense language about his experience in his exit interview for someone who might be considering coming back. That's all I'm gonna say.

[@jimsingleton2589]

Because of the bank that has to be given to Seider and Raymond, Stevie would have to send away some others some how. Personally I wouldn't mind Fabri and Sprong gone somehow some way. Same for Veleno. We have to remember also that Berggren has been complaining about being in GR so long. So, I think it would be easily possible to see Kane offered a 3 year contract. Just in time for the new wave of draft picks to finish in GR.

[@puzzle-fan]

Yzerman gave Holl a long term deal. For such a player a deal over 1 year is long term ;)

[@jeremykraenzlein5975]

Could Detroit sign him to a two-year deal with player options for up to two additional years? That way Kane would get the stability he wants, being able to exercise his options and effectively make it a four year contract, if time doesn't catch up to him by then. But if he retires at any point after the initial two years, Detroit wouldn't be on the hook for his cap hit. The downside, from Detroit's perspective, is that we are trusting him in the scenario where age does catch up to him before the optional years expire, to not simply extend the contract to take the money when he is clearly no longer playing well enough to be worth it. But Kane seems like a stand-up guy, who wouldn't want to be remembered as the jerk who took advantage of his team like that.

[@doubleyahtzee]

I could see Kane staying, but only if they sign Raymond and Seider to bridge deals. If they sign Raymond and Seider to 8 year extensions then I think Kane is gone. I do think Yzerman will opt for the bridge deal with Raymond and Seider tho which is normally cheaper then going for the 8 year extensions, which should free up money to sign Kane. Maybe Yzerman will try to match the term with DeBrincats contract? I think 3 years for Kane is relatively safe, if his production starts dropping in year 2 then you could probably trade him and retain half the contract and only be stuck with one year of retained salary. He would probably want a M-NTC tho which could make that tricky. Lots of variables so I think we won't really hear anything until Raymond and Seider sign extensions and if they possibly holdout on extensions (which I doubt) then Kane is definitely gone

[@richarddpetersen169]

I hope you are wrong, the team can use kane

[@BrandonKellogg22]

If Im thinking about long term, the Wings need to boot a veteran or two out. Some people were saying boot Joe Veleno but hes still young and developing. If were going to make room for Simon Edvinsson and Berggren, and I were to boot two more expensive veterans for them, my pool of targets is immediately obvious: Copp Sprong Fabbri Kane So the question for me then becomes "Is Kane going to provide me with more long term stability than two of those other names, and also be a great teacher for younger players?" The answer is yes. Boot Sprong and Fabbri, opening the door for Berggren and Edvinsson. That will also help cover the cap space needed to pay Raymond and Seider. Both should be locked up for 8 years piece giving 8.8M AAV to Seider and 7.9M AAV to Raymond. Give them 750k signing bonuses too. As for Kane, he got around 2.5M for this year on a "Wait and see" sort of ordeal. Well hes def proven himself but I dont know how much we can pay him before it becomes a problem. I think 3.75M AAV for 3 years could work. Maybe a solid 4M

[@Megan-19]

He will return to Detroit.

[@coreyshafer4747]

It's unconventional, but possibly a 2 year deal with a player option of a third as long as he's above .75 points per game. If he dips below that detroit has the option to say no, bit that allows Kane the stability as long as he keeps producing.

[@elifaulds3168]

Kane has never been a physical or defensive presence on the ice. He’s always been known for his hockey IQ and vision. His style of hockey may not be preferable, but it should be sustainable. Even through 39-40 years of age he will still be smart and see the ice well. If we could sign him for 3 years at the right price, we should. I’d love to see a Kasper, Stamkos, Kane line on the ice. Not that there is any real chance of that happening haha

[@devinbrines]

[@lctjr]

[@brycecurtis2910]

For people saying detroit " definately" has the cap, they dont. They have about 20 mill and seider and raymond will eat up about 16 of that. Detroit will have a hard enough time keeping ghost and perron.

[@indigoronin1708]

3 year deal at 7 mil per with the Wings

[@thefamilymans2545]

Kane could sign for 4 yr or more, if he takes less money. Incentives would help him out. But in 4 yrs, wings can be making runs for cup. I'm sure kane would like to end his career with a cup. Who wouldnt?

[@user-pc2ex4ik1y]

Hey Patrick Kane, you should give Patrick Roy a call in New York the Islanders 4 year deal for 14 mill

[@lunar33icious]

If Kane signs in Utah, if Marner goes to Utah, if they get a good D... LOOK OUT!

[@jackconrad2667]

I’m guessing Kane wants 4 years. I think the Aav will be the make or break. If it’s between 4-5 mil. Kane stays. If it’s above 5 he’s gone. I can even see Kane getting 4 years somewhere for sure. So I think that’s what it will take

[@jessepappagoalsky4358]

2 or 3 yr max

[@GaryDGuitar]

- Kane will get a 2-3 year deal at $6-8m/yr with the Wings. Wings can comfortably sign Kane, while taking care of Raymond too. - Cap space moves: Gostisbehere, Reimer, Sprong are gone. Perron may be gone if he isn't willing to take a paycut for a bottom 6 role. Holl has trade value, even if the Wings have to eat some of the contract. Also, Vrana (dead money) comes off the books. - Berggren and Edvinsson will fill roster holes. - Next year cap space moves: Fabbri and Petry gone.
