He's not a good player anymore.

He is a possession sinkhole who scores empty-calorie points. Phil Kessel was also amazing once upon a time. Not anymore. That's Kane in a nutshell. He was subtraction by addition for NYR last year and will probably be even worse in Detroit this year.

Washed player is now even more washed. Imagine that

Kane has shown over the last number of years that even when he's healthy, he's a net negative player.
I stopped after a few, there may more. Not trying to throw shade, but the Kane hate was over the top. Someone needs a 3 course meal of crow.
