Overall, better than I was expecting for Kane.
Definitely some risk still for the Oilers. Kane's numbers away from McDavid were not good, at all (we saw what happened when the Oilers tried to force Lucic onto McDavid's wing at the beginning of his contract, and while I don't think this is the same situation, there are parallels). His defensive commitment is suspect and he takes a ton of penalties. I think those factors balance out the scoring a bit, which is why I was really concerned when I thought the number was going to come in around $7M.
And while I've long since given up on the idea that professional athletes are good people, or expect professional sports teams to hold to any sort of moral code, there is always the risk that he blows up the locker room at some point.
And of course, age. He'll be 34 at the end of this deal, and maybe not a guy that's been the easiest on his body, on and off the ice.
This improves the Oilers forward depth (as long as he plays the bulk of his minutes with McDavid), but I probably would have rather they spent this money on defence, even if it meant paying additional assets to get a guy like Chychrun or Provorov (and I don't think the acquisition cost for Provorov would have been that high).
Oilers Goal Differential
17/18: 234 GF / 263 GA (-29)
18/19: 232 GF / 274 GA (-42)
19/20 (82 game pace): 257 GF / 254 GA (+3) in 64 games
2021 (82 game pace):269 GF / 235 GA (+34) after 38 games
