Poll: Will The San Jose Sharks Re-Sign Evander Kane?

March 6, 2018 at 5:59 pm CDT | by Gavin Lee 5 Comments

When the NHL trade deadline finally came around, one name that was expected to be the big prize was all but out of the news. Evander Kane’s rumor mill had quieted tremendously in the weeks leading up to the deadline, with Rick Nash taking over as the top rental option. The Buffalo Sabres might have waited too long, as they ended up being unable to secure a first-round draft pick for Kane when they eventually did deal him.

The San Jose Sharks were the eventual buyers, and apparently were the only team to submit a real offer for the enigmatic winger. Much of that probably has to do with the fact that in the 21 games leading up to the deadline, Kane had just five points. It looks like a steal for San Jose now, as Kane has already matched that number in his first three games for the Sharks and provides a scoring boost while the team tries to lock up their position as a Western Conference contender.

The condition on the second-round pick Buffalo did send, is that if the Sharks re-sign Kane the Sabres will receive that much-coveted first rounder. Is that going to happen? No one can tell you for sure, but Kevin Kurz of The Athletic believes that GM Doug Wilson would like to try.

One of the biggest red flags in Kane’s history on the open market would be his lack of playoff experience. The 26-year old has now played 560 games in the NHL without advancing to the postseason, something that the Sharks intend on changing this year. If he helps get them to the playoffs, and shows his capability as a big-bodied scoring threat therein, he could fetch a long-term big money deal on the open market. Even without a long playoff run, he still stands to enter free agency as one of the top offensive options, and ranked third on our Midseason UFA Power Rankings.

Do you believe San Jose will make it work with Kane and convince him to stay? Should they even be considering it? What happens if they get knocked out early, or Kane is a no-show come playoff time? Vote below on whether you think Kane will re-sign with the Sharks, and explain why in the comment section.

    I dont think so. But if they cant get Tavares then they should sign him.

    I believe so. There are some connections with him and the team. The team also has great vet presence which is what Kane needs. Also coming from 2 winter havens in a row? I think Kane will want to stay in California at all costs.

    It would be dumb not to. The offense has looked so much better with Kane in the lineup. Re-sign kane and make a run at taverns in the off-season. Let the old guys walk.
