I don't see this as a bad move by the Oilers. Yeah, they needed a goaltender or a defenseman more, but their MO is to try and outscore their opponent. Kane will help in that regard. This adds another dangerous weapon to their top six and gives them two very dangerous lines. That is something the Flames can't say. The Flames have the advantage everywhere else, but the game is won by scoring more goals than the other guy. The Oilers get a leg up by this move. Will it be enough to make up for other shortcomings? We're going to find out.
