Ko Kane on the block?

[BluObieZ 1,125]

Ko Kane’s days maybe numbered in Davos, with the team looking to probably rebuild they have resigned their star defenseman with the probable intention to trade him for assets. If and when the deal goes down he may go down as a Davos legend. Greatest D to play for the team? No but a legend. He has stuck around with the team through thick and thin. The team sucked in the early years which lead people to believe he would probably force his way out. Well he stayed with the team.

 

The team awarded his loyalty with naming him the captain and since then the team took off. The team started seeing results on the ice. Finals appearances which finished with the team winning a cup and Kane hoisting the cup above his head as the Davos fans going crazy. Something not all Davos greats can say they did. Sure the team have had some real good teams but not all of them won the cup. Not all the great players on those great teams finished with cups on those teams. It’s not their fault, but it’s just a stat that is a fact.

 

Ko Kane bringing the cup home to Davos fulfilled his promise that he will stick it out with the team till they won the cup. He knew that they would win and they did. Now that their last season is done with no cup the team most likely will be sellers and looking at a rebuild. Actually can be a possible landing spot for Orion Slade.

 

If and when a trade happens Ko Kane will have to waive his NTC which I am sure he will not waive for just any team. He controls his fate and maybe will just opt to not waive it at all. He may just want to retire as a member of Davos even though that would mean that he will not get another cup. Which I am sure he would love to get another one before he retires. He can actually get another two matching SWC3’s cup haul. That’s if he becomes greedy and goes cup hunting. We right now have no idea what he is planning and how he intends to handle a potential trade.

 

Ko Kane knows that he does not have much time left in the VHL and that he staying with Davos would be viewed as a form of respect for the team that he won the cup with and the team that he stuck it out with. But he also knows that the team and the fans would understand if he would hunt for more cups and a bigger payday. He does have a player option on the 2^nd year of his contract which would be his last in the league. This may all be an epic setup for one last free agency fuckery and to hop onto one good team this season to another good one for his last season. He may actually be setup pretty well to win another one if not two cups before he hangs up his skates in the VHL. We will just have to wait and see how this all plays out.

Best decision I made as a GM was drafting you when everyone else didn't want to. Respect.

Worst decision was taking Denning over Johnsson with the next pick
