Just from a top 6 gamble, its not a bad one putting aside that Kane is a disruptor who seems to piss off everyone he's played for. Does a guy like that change? Not really since he's literally being rewarded with chance after chance after chance.
Its not going to help the Oilers with their bad forward play without the puck. Its not going to help their bottom 6, its not going to help them with one of the worst Bluelines in the league, its not going to help them with their worst goaltending situation in the league.
Its will likely piss off Tippett if he's told not to lean on their new star. Its likely not going to do much for a room with what I feel is a leadership vacuum.
It is literally going to make it impossible for the Oilers to be buyers at the deadline as I expect that Kane will vacuum up every cent of cap that they have.
I wonder how long it will take Kane to start to hate a boring and grey city like Edmonton. Or the prospect of a probable assigned babysitter.
