Some pretty decent stats for not making it to the finals.
Me thinks Kane is gonna be expensive, not sure if the oilers will be able to swing it

Some of whether or not the Oil can afford it comes down to the contract ruling sometime later this month with the Sharks. If it is ruled the Sharks were not able to legally terminate the contract then it is really a big barrel of monkeys. Obviously Kane won't go back there, nor would the Sharks want him.
That leaves trading his current existing contract. I am sure there will be some suitor that will take advantage of the situation to trade the Sharks for the contract with some sweetner, like retained salary, or something like that. One rumour going around was Puli to the Sharks for Kane's contract with some retained salary.
Will be interesting to see what happens in the next few weeks.
