Kane is nowhere even close to that. His career indicates that a safe bet is half as many goals and half as many points per season. That kind of player, doesn't put a team over the edge into a contender, regardless of the acquisition cost of salary. When you actually do consider those two parameters, it seems like a pretty obvious bad decision.
Kane's current AAV out of his RFA contract is $5.25M. Over the course of hte 6 years of this contract, i'd imagine it's been an annual disappointment. Guy is having a great contract year this year, I'm sure some idiot GM will give him an equivalent or better contract that he's on but i sure as hell hope it ain't the GM of my team.

What was the point of this? Didn't I already acknowledge Kessel to be vastly superior to Kane? Although to be fair, comparing players solely on the basis of points doesn't make sense when one of them is a soft sniping winger while the other happens to be a physical powerforward
