The Toronto Maple Leafs don’t need Patrick Kane.
The Toronto Maple Leafs should be looking at actual players that will improve their team, not at players who are expensive and in massive decline.
Patrick Kane is what the early 2000 Leafs would have done. The 2003 Leafs brought in Owen Nolan, Doug Gilmour, Phil Housley and Glen Wesley.
In 2004 they brought in Ron Francis, Brian Leetch, and like 23 other 40-year-olds that season.
The ages, reputations and experience levels of those players are very similar to the current Patrick Kane.
Picking up Kane would be exciting – no doubt – but it wouldn’t help as much as people think.
