No one is arguing that hes good, I've said it before, its a question of whether he's good enough to overlook all of his faults, defects, injuries, attitude and acquisition costs.
And my opinion is no. Especially not here in Calgary where 'THE TEAM' is the ultimate priority.
This team shipped out Jarome Iginla who at 37 years old is twice the player that Evander Kane will ever be because, through no fault of his own, he became bigger than the team and the culture had to change in order to move forward.
I appreciate the opinions of people that think Hartley and the leaders in the room can 'fix' Kane. I dont agree, but I understand.
Even if they're right, will that offset his acquisition cost? Again, I believe no.
