Pretty good cap hit for Chicago

If the AAV is $6M, then I'm not so sure I agree with you.

You don't think he's worth $6m?

I have to agree with Brandon here. He's a point per game player. Even if you take him off that line or that team he's still putting up a tonne of points.

At 25 in only his second season, no, I don't. Not in Chicago anyways. You have to consider that these are productive years on a stacked team. In 2 years he will be young enough still and be producing enough to want a raise, but it will be downhill from there.

Usually I'm skeptical about these things but all of his adjusted numbers are IDENTICAL from last season to this season despite the fact that Kane is on pace for half the goals he had last year.
