Today's edition of "How the Yotes and Hawks will make nonsensical moves to help the oilers win":
So there you have it, Kane costs the oilers a 2024 1st (which according to oilers fans will be 32OA) and low tier prospect, plus a cap dump. Meanwhile the yotes take a cap hit and eat up more than a quarter of their available cap for a 4th and a possible reclamation project. And then, they sign McLeod for no raise, Phil the Thrill for less than his rumored price, and Milano for half his pay last year.
But the absolute best take, presented without commentary:

I think Kane stays in Chicago until the deadline to better survey the landscape of which team to accept a move to for a playoff run. Chicago also probably gets more then when GMs get crazy than now.
