Sharks-Oilers blockbuster could be in place if Kane wins grievance
The grievance case between the San Jose Sharks and Evander Kane may have even bigger implications on the NHL offseason than what was previously thought. If Kane wins the case and San Jose has to reclaim their asset, Oilers GM Ken Holland seemingly would want to make a deal to bring him back to Edmonton.
The two teams could come up with a settlement before the arbitrator's ruling in order to make sure Kane stays with the Oilers. The Oiler's would likely move some bad contracts to San Jose in order to take on Kane's $7 million salary.
The names that are being rumored in the possible blockbuster include Tyson Barrie, Jesse Puljujarvi, Zack Kassian, and Warren Foegele. The deal could involve all four players, but no matter what, it would involve at least a couple of the players.
This would actually open up around $12 million in cap space for the Oilers, which would allow them to sign a goalie while also retaining Kane. The Sharks would get a promising young player along with two grinders on a team trying to find its identity.
