I am not an advocate for this trade. I don't personally think Kane is a good playing fit, regardless of all the off ice stuff. The team needs another puck dominant, distributing Right winger, preferably Right Shot. This is a left shooting, left wing who is a puck and shot hog.
That being said, I think Evander is probably at his life low point right now. There is a reasonable chance that he could view this as a "last chance" (it definitely is if it materializes) and thus come ready to "fit in" and preform. 3.5 mil a season isnt bad value for the play on the ice he can bring.
