The Oilers got rid of Smith's last year are trying to rid themselves of Kane's contract. A lot of these organizations that care more about the next 5 years have shown that they simply don't want to pay the price for it after. If the league fixed the LTIR nonsense then maybe teams would be less willing hand out these long term contracts to 30 year old players. Heck it's a running joke already that Chris Tanev will likely spend the last few years of his contract on LTIR and that's very likely going to happen.
