To be honest, even if Kane didn't have all the off ice issues, I don't think it's in Calgary's best interest to trade for him, not at the stage where the Flames are at. Kane is an elite offensive winger, but he is not a guy you build a team around. The fact that a winger takes up 10.5M of your cap, plus the price would likely be 2 of Bennett/Monahan/Gaudreau, I would not do the trade.
Flames should stay the course, and not trade for any high priced talent. The age / cap hit doesn't fit with the Flames current timelines IMO.
