Ignoring everything else about Kane's character, or the cost to acquire him, maybe just as important if not more is how he will completely throw the salary structure out of whack. Why should Gaudreau, Monahan, Bennett, Brodie, etc., all sign for reasonable deals when a team mate is making 10+ million a season?
Too expensive to acquire
Too many character issues to be concerned about with a young team (regardless of the current rumors, that cabby incident alone is enough for me)
Destroys salary structure
He is not even a consideration in my mind.
