New Beginnings

[BluObieZ 1,125]

So Ko Kane is no longer on Davos, he has been traded. The Kane era is over in Davos and fans don’t know what to think of it. The locker room will never be the same, his stall is empty and his name plate has been removed. The player that was there since he was drafted now is on Toronto. Seeking another cup. Will he get one? Who really knows right now. It is too early to tell if Toronto can compete with some of the heavy hitters in the league.

 

As for Ko Kane he moves into unfamiliar territory. New team, new locker room and new fans. The soon to be retiring D-man is known for his hardnosed brand of playing, is said to be looking to see how the season plays out before deciding on if he will pick up his player option or not. If does not then he would entire his last free agency. This time it would be intentional, not like last time where he and Davos forgot about the option.

 

With all these changes, Ko Kane is also in discussions with a few brands to sign on with them and become the face of their brands. There is no saying which brands he is in talks with but with his agents close ties with Fong the man behind VIKING the logical pick would be them but who knows. Maybe Fong thinks Kane is too old and does not want to sign a player who is that close to leaving the VHL. Maybe they are talking about Orion the next and last player for the Robbie Agency.  Lots of speculation going on in the league because with the introduction of the brands they will be looking to sign marque players first which leaves the soon to be retiring Kane in the second group of people that the Brands will consider signing. This all could be one big bluff by Kane and Robbie to draw up some Brand offers. We will have to wait and see next week if it truly was a bluff.

 

There is no telling what Ko Kane’s second last season will be like but right now at least he is on a team that will be competitive and maybe aiming for a cup run. That is all he asked for when Davos approached him if he would be open to a sign and trade. Ko Kane re-signed in Davos so they could get something for him. They got a plethora of picks in exchange for Kane and a few other players. Helping kick start their rebuild.  

 

Sure Ko Kane would love to finish his career with two more cups but something tells me he will be happy with one more, this season he seems to be going with the flow. Seeing how everything goes, if Toronto can pull off a cup with it will be a “happy accident” because going into Toronto Ko Kane has no idea what to expect. We like him will just have to wait and see.
