Unless there a 3rd party to add retention.. this will be full cap hit to Oilers of $3.4M (SJ can't retain anymore cap).. so either Kane is definitely LTIR until playoffs (likely).. or someone on the roster is moving out.. eg. J Skinner is $3M

Saw Rishaug saying Kane hasn't put 2 straight days of intense training together yet. Maybe it was all an Oilers org attempt to make LTIR's Kane until playoffs seem more legit. Although, in every media comment about Kane, it made it sound like Kane wanted to come back and we were trying to stop him, so that doesn't actually make us look good :)
We went out of our way to pay extra for salary retention for Frederic when we weren't sure Kane would play ball, and now we took a full hit, so probably means Kane's done until playoffs.
