@min 2:45 you are talking about brett kulak, but that's a picture of brown,

Kane would have been a impact if he was healthy in a Stanley Cup final that came down to a one goal difference. They need Kane and the type of sand paper game he brings.

I want Kane in Edmonton

A healthy Kane is a force, get him fixed and keep him.

Kane is a force. I would hate to lose him. The biggest question is, can Kane be healthy? He is a game changer and loves to be in Edmonton.

Please, please keep Evander! He brings so much to the team.

I agree with others. Kane has a unique skill set and we should be looking to keep him, especially if we can get him healthy and have him start the year on LTIR. Ceci is the guy we can and need to move out. Ceci at 3.25m on the bottom pairing makes no sense.

Evander is my guy, keep him with the Oilers. He is a force to be reckoned with.

keep kane trade nurse

Kane's health was the issue during the playoff. If he was at least 80% healthy during the final. The results might be different today.

If they can trade Ceci for cap space to sign Holloway and Broberg, why would you not keep Kane. He could play on literally any line considering the teams depth going into the season. I mean if our 3rd line is Janmark Henrique Brown, and our 4th is Kane Holloway and Perry, or maybe Kane takes Nuges spot, they’ve got a good roster.

I think his absence made a big difference. Missed him and don't want to see him go.

I don’t understand why Kane’s name was even brought up for a trade. His numbers have been great, he’s coming off a 24 goal season. I would give him as much time as he needs to heal even if that means starting him on LTIR at the beginning of next season. As for Holloway and Broberg, they are both RFA’s, I’m not sure about Holloway, but I believe that Broberg can’t go to arbitration, so are they really going to get more than they were qualified for? As much as I would love to bring a true top 4 RD, the defensive group was really good last year after Coffey took over and are you really going to find an upgrade on Ceci that costs as the same or less than him? I hate to say it but it looks like Kulak would be the odd man out if Broberg is going to play on the main roster all season. Honestly I like the team now, the only change would be another top 4 RD for Ceci if they can make it work.

The Oilers lost the cup because they were missing Kane. He would have added the physical play and a few goals, especially neutralizing Chucky. Cap-wise the Oilers don't have an issue if they move Cody Ceci. Ceci can be moved, although the Oilers have to include a mid-round draft pick with him. Holloway and Broberg are $1 million per each on bridge deals. The Oilers aren't moving Kudlak. They picked up two right-side D to replace Ceci and Desharnais. The biggest issue is where to place Kane on the roster. He's too good to play on the fourth line. I'd suggest he plays with Henrique, and Holloway on the right side. The fourth line would be Janmark, Brown, and Ryan unless they bring in a right-shot center with size. I can see Ryan being the 14th forward. Perry the 13th.

I think kane should stay . Hes tough and resilient. Scores when he has to. Acurate. Maybe expensive but is one reason we got where we did. In my humble opinion.

Excellent video as always thanks for the update Patrick! Love Kaner and would love to see him stay and get 100% Healthy! Agree the team is better with him on it. Would only want to lose one of those guys if possible somehow Jeff Jackson work your magic some more please lol Would have been sweet to meet ya and Tyson at Game 6 quickly at the Molson house bar or whatever its called. Damn terrible setup prevented that from happening. Next June 2025 :)

Why wasn't Kane put on LTIR in January when it was obvious to anyone looking that something was wrong? Could have pulled a Vegas and brought back Eberle for the playoff run and had a 100% Kane.

Why is Kane even on the radar dude is hurt and has a no trade so that's that

If Kane is 100% the most logical person to move to the 3rd line would be Nuge to be it's center where the Janmark/Henrique/Brown line becomes the 4th line. Nuge would get Holloway and "one other player" who would have to be a play driver (not sure if Holloway can do that to the extent needed and Nuge doesn't do that, he's utility and a facilitator, not a driver). Arvidsson plays right wing normally as does Hyman so if Connor or Leon gets Kane on the Left Skinner would go to the other person. Gives both lines a grinder (Hyman and Arvidsson) and both lines a shooter (Kane/Skinner) with two great centers (Connor/Leon). Nuge with Holloway on his left would need a play driving RW. While Levoie is a RW is he a play driver? Eventually our new addition Matt Savoie would probably slot in here quite well but he has one NHL and 6 AHL games on his resume and has played mostly in the W so he needs some experience first (don't throw another prospect to the wolves PLEASE). Just a few thoughts. Oh, paying for it, if you move Ryan/Perry you free up $2,015,000. With what we're low on that pays for both Broberg and Holloway (if $830K to each is enough) but we'd still need that RW for Nuge. If you trade Ceci (no chance for Kulak, he's GOLD come playoffs and a local boy and cheaper by 500K (and leftie)) you have to replace Ceci with a better RD. Better and cheaper rarely mix. While some may say no problem easy you're wrong. He does a lot (and yes, he messes up too but some of that is covering for Nurse). Take care all.

A healthy Kane adds some healthy value. Injuries seem to pile up every time they play LA, and they grind through afterward. It’s going to be an interesting shuffle of the cabinet, but some up front grit and nastiness is probably more desirable at this point than skilled guys who will be injured when it matters most.

I want Kane he’s a good player scores goals . Hits . Rather see ceci leave then kulak .

Looks like most games will be 13 forwards and 5 D-men lol

Imagine having a team so good on paper you consider getting rid of Kane or not sure where he fits in the line up. Almost won the Cup with McD, Drai and Kane injured or not at 100%. Exciting season coming. I expect either Kulak or Cece are gone but would choose Kulak over Cece. Personally would rather see Nurse gone due to his contribution is not equal to his pay . Not his fault really. Thanks for the update!

My vote is for Kane to stay. If I had to choose between the three of them, it's Kane all the way. Too bad he doesn't play defense.

Nurse is NOT good defensive in his own zone.

we need Kane!

Having a healthy Kane would put pressure on Skinner to play well. I think have Kane in the Top 6 is still a great fit if he is Healthy. Trading Ceci and Kulak would be the way to go and you can start with Bouchard, Eckholm, Nurse and Brown Broberg and Stetcher. You will have cap space to look a top 4 defenseman.

Personally, I think that the sandpaper that a healthy Kane brings is indispensable. I'd like the Oilers to keep him and move Ceci. Kulak is also one of those dependable players come playoff time.

I still don't know why people aren't talking about Nurse, 9 million dollar deadweight.

I like Broberg's step forward, but hes only played a few games, I've always rooted for him, but he should make league minimum no? He only has a couple games and points.. Nurse Needs to Go, we need wopping amount of money freed up, Yiu dont pay a guy 9.25 mill for 32 points, We need a Real Magic move here

I am really concerned about the Oilers' cap situation. They need to resign Holloway and Broberg who are currently RFAs. At this point we want to keep all 5, but the NHL won't allow it. So as far as I'm concerned, we need to let at least some of them go.. If we keep Kane, like it sounds like they want to do (I think they may not be able to as he is a $5.125M cap hit), we seem to be in between a rock and a hard place. If we trade both Ceci and Kulak we either hurt our defense as we won't be able to trade for as good a player as that will be a large cap hit, and we can't keep them as we need to be cap compliant. Overall, I am very concerned about our defense this year. We let a lot too many teams into our defensive zone in the playoffs, and that really hurt us. We were saved by our strong forward lines. I fear that will only be more true next year as Jeff has gone all out to bolster our offense at the expense of defense. That is very exciting, but a Stanley cup team needs a good offense and defense to win. At this point, we may have to let Broberg and/or Holloway take an offer sheet from another team to make sure we are cap compliant.

why would we trade Kane. He is an absolute killer. we need him now especially now that Vinny is gone.

Kane will round out the Oilers as an incredible team.

I agree with lurch how much longer are we going to have to watch nurse

Keep him

Thanks for your update Patrick 👍

Kane was hurt in finals Draisailt was hurt finals Nuge did f ....all But the biggest problem is Nurse

The only Jackson Move I wasn't happy about was the re-signing of Perry. I get it but it's just a luxury we can't afford. He wasn't producing much and our forward depth is already insane. Would have been better to use Perry money to keep Kulak and Ceci because you know some defence would be great too. Downgrading from Ceci and/or Kulak is not a great idea. I'll hold judgement until the dust settles. Maybe some awesome D that wants to win a cup signs for a million. who knows.

I would look for a d man with the most skill out of Europe available, I don’t know if a team will part with a draft pick in return for either player…

A little adversity sharpens the skates, and lights a fire deep inside.

The only problem that it's been giving is to you guys. The fan base want him kept. Sure, you're gonna find some that don't. Maybe they're from the outside that want to spoil the thing that we have here?

What's the news on nurses injuries

I say trade nurse for draft picks, he good enough defensive in his own zone. Save 9 million. Broberg is ready 2 nd pairing minutes and better defensive defence men and a better passer and transporter of the puck.

Kane will be healthy for game 1 and then "reaggrevate" the injury and make the surgery needed. they'll make sure they are cap compliant beforehand

kane can get 30 goals without even trying

Nurse is only a 4.5 million dollar deadweight... he's definitely worth half his current salary. No fault to Nurse or his representative. Wouldn't you have signed the same deal given the opportunity.

Sadly I think the wrist injury Jane has is a bit much to come back from. I hope I’m wrong.

How Nurse ever negotiated that 9.25mil is beyond me. Ya ya. He had a +6 or whatever in the playoffs. Big whoops. He’s a liability back there. The Oil could get so much more with that money on their books to play with

I love kulak, ceci trade for a pick, use that money to resign kulak and broberg to 1.25 1 yr deals, trade nurse for a high draft pick and an ltir player (keep him there) use the cap space to resign touch n drai.

Did everyone forget the problem he was in the locker room this year??

Trade Kane to Vegas. He can gamble and have lots of fun .

So why do you show a picture of brown, when you’re talking about kulak.

Hopping they won’t gonna destroy this team like back in 2007

Too bad Conner and Leon wouldn’t accept lower $$. If they would that would free up a lot of $$ for the other players. Both of them make enough in endorsements so they shouldn’t be so greedy. If they were team players and not only looking out to see who makes the most money the Oilers could be champions for many consecutive years.

Kane should stay!

5mill for a 4th liner? I like Kane but thats not feasible.

Get rid of the cap

Keep Kane. Oilers got more physical when he signed. He will get healthy. Get rid of Ceci & Kulak.

of the 3 keep Kulak

Get nurse and Cody outta here try to keep Leon if not trade for picks and solid players for cheaper

Nurse and Ceci should be the only options tradeable.1 for cap space and tweak the defense a bit with actual shutdown roles ONLY. There must be a sort of Gustav Forsling out there lolll I wont consider Kane because of injuries he can go on IR. Oilers have Arvisson also who's a injury prone which will likely be on IR at somepoint. The timing could be "good" if they're injured at the end of the season before the trade deadline.

I think the oilers would have made it if they hadn't gotten rid of Kostin and what made it worse ir Detruit traded him for nothing at trade deadline,,Holland spent his time here making us a bigger team. Jackson keeps making us smaller. It will haunt us in playoffs

Speculation branded as updated is clickbait my guy

Kane, Holloway n Perry 4th line

Keep Kane in Edmonton,,, very smart move

The oilers are a better team with a healthy Kane! He is one of those players that you just hate to play against!

My personal thoughts are to get rid of a contract worth 9,250,000. Kane is a keeper in my mind right from the start when Kane wasn't welcome by some when he was traded . This team would be foolish to even entertain the idea of letting him go. Kane has a good contract and is willing to rough it up if needed, not like the other one . Okay let's talk about the other player. From what I understand he is a good team mate on bench, dressing room an all around nice guy But since his contract his play has petered out. Another question is who gave a defenseman that kind of money.

You know how dumb it would be to promote Kane being injured if they were looking to trade him. In my opinion he wont be in training camp.

Kane is toxic. They can do better

Give Kane half a year off to get surgery and heal, and let him cook! His talents are not buyable he is a better version of Marchand

I would send cici and Ryan to Chicago or San Jose to clear up the cap space

It’s not even close. Keep Kulak and ship Cici out. He should have been gone last year when they were shopping him around. He has zero trade value that is why we still have him.

Kane is healthy by september one of Ceci/kane/Kulak needs to be traded to fit in hollloway and broberg

Definitely keep Evander Kane 💯

Trade 'news' isn't 'rumours'

Wave nurse. Find if somebody will take him for free.

Tell Kave to get srugery for his hip and sports hernia done and sick out the 1st or all of the season until playoffs start.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉

Kip 91 you. Net hem healthy ❤❤

Ceci is the clear piece that needs to be moved

moove him !

Keep Kulak....

has connor brown picture over "brett kulak" yikes

Trade both Kulak and Ceci for picks. Best option. Our young and veterans D-man can fill their role. We need new blood.

Nurse needs to go. For himself, for the team.

I'll take him in Ottaws if you guys want him out!

Trade nurse the oilers will have a lot of cap space.

Kulak is great, don't even consider trading him

Fine with Kane, but he is a bad fit for McDavid and Draisaitl's lines. They both performed much with with him than without him the past 2 years. Kane needs to accept his 3rd line role and cannot be a distraction. He is in his mid 30s now, needs to realize he is not a top 6 guy anymore.

It’s hard to believe how much money the very mediocre Nurse makes. There is NO WAY that he should make more than Ekholm, and especially Draisaitl. Even harder to believe is he’s got 6 years left at that ridiculous salary. What a joke.

I really cant stand these channels that talk about nonsense just for clicks, next week McDavid & Draisaitl on the trading block look!!!!

Don't think Kane gets along with some players that's what I'm getting. Trade him and CiCi.

I would like to see Kane and Kulak stay. Cici is much better than Nurse in different ways, but together I think Nurse brings him down. If anyone should go it is Nurse because he doesn't know if he is playing defense, forward, or goalie. He has caused more goals against than so many others. Cici plays much better away from him.

Ceci needs to go

KZfaq guy, still thinks he’s running that team , hilarious.

Kane has to go to much drama, he is a force in a negative way

Keep kulak and kane get rid of ceci he's trash

Cody Ceci is so shit lol. If he wasn't left handed he'd probably still be playing for the Ottawa 67's lol

The only issue I have with Kane, is all the baggage he still carries with him. He's too streaky, and you still hear mumurs of locker room distruption, and his attitude on occasion. If he would just show up to the rink, play hockey to the best of his abilities, and not cause any issues at all, I would be happy to keep his cap, and move someone else. Right now though, if they traded him out? I wouldn't miss him too much at this point. I just don't have much faith in Kane keeping it together, long-term. 🤷‍♂

A healthy Kane is a force, get him fixed and keep him.
