Strikes me as a cool video game style acquisition, but I don't think Kane is a great fit for Edmonton. Reminds me of when Colorado picked up Kariya and Selanne to add to Forsberg, Sakic, Tanguay and Hejduk. There's only one puck, only so many minutes and understanding your role ends where ego begins. There's already a lot of me first attitude on that team, and it starts with the captain.
That being said, I think Kane is an amazing player and I would have loved him here.
