I know I'm going to be in the minority here but I would much rather the Flames went after Kane instead of Landeskog. There's the whole LW vs. RW thing which makes Kane a better fit but there's also the cost of getting these guys. I would really hate to part with Brodie just for Landeskog, I think a higher end D is worth more than a winger. Contract wise, I think Brodies has to be one of the best values for a top 4 dman in the league (other than rookies). The other thing is that the Flames seem to have enough stability with leadership to help keep Kane focused or on the right track. I don't think Gio would throw Kane's track suit in the shower.
I think Kane could be had at a much better acquisition cost, will have a better contract and will be a better fit.
