Kane seems like one of those guys whose rep is based on expectations, good performances in lesser roles on good teams, a couple seasons where he was markedly better than the majority of his year, and/or performances against your own team.
See also: Brouwer, Troy. A guy who always seemed to play well against the Flames, had a good performance in a particular role, and who people thought "with more ice time he will be a stud".
