Kane checks off so many boxes for the team - speed, grittiness and a good shot.

However, IQ issues (Eichel has taken off since Kane was moved off his line IIRC, and Kane has completely dried up) and (lots of) rumored character issues makes me believe he is a poor fit. Why doesn't a rebuilding team even try to re-sign a 26 year old power forward with speed?

If he came nearly free, I would be ok with it. You take a chance and see how it works out. However, I am very uncomfortable throwing good assets at him. I would rather those same assets in a package for someone better who you don't have to be worried about.

Also, Kane WITH an extension makes me even more leery. Imagine he comes with a 3-6 year deal, and he completely bombs in Calgary. Good luck trying to get rid of him then. That's what makes me very uncomfortable when it comes to Kane.
