He did some stupid crap, and posted some childish pictures on social media when he was a young dumb millionaire.

Remember when Michael Ferland was an alcoholic who got charged with assault for getting in a bar fight?
Guys grow up, especially with proper leadership, and goals to strive for personally and professionally.

Remember when Taylor Hall was a terrible teammate, a cancer in the locker room, and the reason the oilers sucked? It's amazing what getting away from losers can do for a guy who wants to win.

I honestly think Kane would be a great fit here, and that the Flames would be a great fit for Kane.
He'd get to play his style, with skilled linemates where he can succeed and help other succeed. The team is young, and heading in the right direction, which keeps competitive players playing competitively.

Personally, I'd love to see him here, especially if Treliving doesn't overpay in assets, and can sign him to a Bennett like "show me deal", obviously the cap hit will be higher, but if he can be had for 2 years at $4.5-$5M I think it's a win.

We could run 3 lines of:
Johnny-Money-Kane/Bennett
Tkachuk-Janko-Kane/Bennett
Ferland-Backlund-Frolik

That's 4 power forwards on 3 lines, only 1 of which who hasn't proven to be a 25+ goal scorer yet.

Please don't compare Kane to Ferland. What an insult. Kane isn't half the man Ferland is. He couldn't hold Ferlands jock strap.

Buffalo will be lucky to find a sucker to give anything decent for Kane.
