But he's not buying a Stanley Cup. All he's buying is the cap room to re-sign Holloway and Broberg and maybe add a cheap replacement for Kane himself.

What are the odds that (current Oilers + Holloway + Broberg + replacement player – Kane) = Stanley Cup winner?

$28 million (plus the risk of getting caught, which would probably mean he'd be banned from the league and have to sell the team) is a steep price for a lottery ticket.
