If you use Monahan as a comparison then technically Chicago retaining 50% is worth a 1st ($5.25M), and then another team retaining $2.75M is probably worth a 2nd.

Chicago isn't going to retain on Kane like it's a bad contract - he's played at a 96 point pace per 82 games the last two seasons. So $10M is still his market value.

So you're looking at a 1st and 2nd before you even get to the value of what Kane is worth in return. I'd say he's worth a roster player, top prospect and a 1st still.

Plus you're going to have to overpay to get the deal done now IMO, because at the deadline you'll have more teams involved when Kane's contract is less of a barrier as teams have more cap room.

Honestly don't see how Edmonton would get him before Colorado if Colorado is interested in adding Kane. More cap space, and more assets.

If I'm Chicago I'm asking for one of Broberg/Holloway/Savoie, 1st, Puljujarvi, and 1st for 50% retention.
