During the intermission of last night’s Capitals-Senators game, hockey insider Elliotte Friedman reported that the Caps were apparently kicking the tires on Evander Kane:
From a purely on-ice standpoint, you could make the argument that, sure, Kane would be a strong addition to any team with Cup hopes. He’s been around a 25-30 goal scorer in each of his last four seasons, and has averaged .75 points per game over that span. That’s pretty good, and could be tempting - especially for a team like the Caps, who have admittedly struggled to produce offense of late and continue to be without a couple of their top wingers.
