An oiler fan posted why it would make more sense for Kane to sign with Florida instead of Edmonton.

"Florida Panthers are Kanes other suitor.

Florida - no restrictions
Edmonton - oppressive restrictions

Florida - no vax passport needed
Edmonton - vax passport needed everywhere

Florida - no state tax
Edmonton - huge provincial tax

Florida - beaches and warm weather
Edmonton - farmer fields and #### weather

Florida - world class restaurants
Edmonton - excited about Popeyes opening

Florida - several international airports
Edmonton - can fly to Ft Mac and Inuvik

Florida - a Cup contending team
Edmonton - nearly 7th in division

Florida - nobody gives a #### about hockey
Edmonton - recognized everywhere you go

Florida - 1 part time hockey reporter
Edmonton - oppressive idiotic media coverage

Florida - Vezina winning goaltender
Edmonton - Leako Losskinen

Florida - 4 complete lines
Edmonton - McDrai that’s it

Florida - Disney World
Edmonton - Galaxy Land

Florida - girls in bikinis everywhere
Edmonton - girls in parkas and snowmobile pants

Florida - millions of recreation choices
Edmonton - ice fishing

Florida - Kodak Black
Edmonton - Terry Jones

Seems pretty straightforward to me."

^I appreciate the digs at Edmonton, to be clear.

BUT.

Please, please, please, please, please don't wish Kane up on the Panthers. They don't need his crap screwing up their good mojo.

This is the most excited I've been as a fan of ANY team in a long time (and sorry, that includes the Flames). Not only that, I've put my time in with this team through some bad years. We already had to get rid of a very good coach for his horrible decision in the past. Let's not ask a player who has also had horrible decision-making to be added to the mix.

Tampa has 3-4 players with the same agent as Kane. Florida & Tampa might just be playing footsie with Kane to make sure the other is or isn’t interested.

If he signs in Edmonton it’s because he has no other offers & needs the cash.

Or maybe he really like Connor’s edge boss equipment and coaching so he can refine his power edge pro techniques.

Although ENG reminders are welcomed in any thread, I think that should be shared in the ENG thread so more people get to see it!

To be fair, Edmonton is at least on par with a few things in Flordia.

Edmonton: Giant dump
Florida: Dirty streets

Edmonton: White trash
Florida: enough said...

Edmonton: Crap airport
Florida: Old ass infrastructure

I'm not saying I'd move to Edmonton, but I wouldn't move to Florida either. It might be warm, but it's still a dump.

The Florida rumours were probably just thrown out there by Kane's agent to make Edmonton offer more.

With topography that is envious of a drive between Moose Jaw & Swift Current.

I think this should be a standard NHL punishment.

Is today the day we are supposed to hear about his fate? I heard the NHL was reviewing his case and would either release him or suspend him by today(ish).

If he gets released does he play against the Flames on Saturday??

Apparently here is no specific deadline for the NHL to make a decision, but it was speculated by some media sources that there would be one this week.

It would be hilarious if they just strung him along all season.

If you put a gun to my head and forced me to move to one or the other, Miami here I come.

Warmth wins.

Ugh...Miami is an awful place.

But yeah, Florida wins because...statistically speaking there have to be parts of Florida that dont suck. I mean...its a big place.

Edmonton though? On a good day it smells like poop.

I sure wouldn't call the entire state of Florida a dump. But to each their own I guess.

I mean, I'm talking either Brickell or Miami Beach. I wouldn't want to live in the part of Miami where homicides increase by 25% by crossing the street.
