I've been thinking about the cap mechanics of a Evander Kane trade. At the last Barracuda game, six teams were there to scout.

San Jose has stated that they are willing to eat 50% of the contract. If a second team is used to take 50% of what is left (1.47M) then that leaves Kane at 1.47M on the active roster. That is realistically not much of a risk, as a team can simply unload Kane to a European league on loan for the remainder of the contract, or look for another landing spot at that low figure.

The return would not be much. I think that he goes East. But to put this in terms of Calgary Flames value, it would be be akin to trading Tyler Pitlick to San Jose, and the rights to Jeremy Poirier + mid/late pick to a third team.

Some team will do it. I'm curious if there is anyone in the Calgary fanbase who would feel that Kane is capable of rehabilitation now that he has tasted a dose of humility.
