If your deployment was to have your line outscore the other teams line, I don't think a 3rd or 4th line including Kane is a bad thing. Whether it's him on those lines, or he pushes someone else down to that spot, it spreads out your scoring that much more. Also, more scoring from bottom lines means you can play your top lines less, they're more rested and can better outplay other teams top lines.
Are you telling me you would rather see Lane Pederson, Derek Ryan, Mattias Janmark or Drake Caggiula instead of Patty Kane? We only have 42 of 50 contracts (43 once Bouch signs)

Maybe. I didn't watch Kane skate last year and I don't necessarily trust 35 year olds to play high energy 3rd line roles when they've been getting top line minutes for 1100 games. Kane got 21 goals in toppish line minutes last year. How does that translate to the Oilers third and how much more expensive is that compared to the plus you mentioned?
