Is this is reference to not bringing back Kane? I’ve liked the concept of the idea, a skilled player that can provide Bedard an outlet and scoring partner, signing a relatively short term deal for maybe a little more than he’s worth. It would help sell tickets and hype.
but in practice? Do you really want Bedard paired with a small defensively challenged forward? Can CB really benefit from having Kane on his line? If Kane goes to 2nd line who exactly is he helping with his style of play?
And then the off ice stuff. By all accounts, CB is a much different person than PK was as a kid. He’s not a hard drinking party animal punching cabbies and allegedly committing the worst crimes.
given the effort they’ve made moving on from sexual assault issues, is there really enough upside in PK’s current abilities to deal with the downside?
