Oilers favorite to land Campbell, Kuemper to Washington?
NHL Watcher: Elliotte Friedman on 32 Thoughts Podcast on Jack Campbell and the Edmonton Oilers, and Darcy Kuemper: “Everything I’m hearing is that they’re the favourites for his (Campbell) services…I think we’d all be surprised if he wasn’t an Oiler and I think a lot of the predictions are that Darcy Kuemper is favourited to end up in WSH.”
Oilers offered Kane four years but he’s able to talk to other teams
Pierre LeBrun: Evander Kane‘s agent Dan Milstein.
“We were granted permission to speak with other clubs. While we are still hopeful to have a deal in place with Edmonton, we are starting the interview process with other clubs.”
The Edmonton Oilers are still an option but Kane is basically already on the market.
Tim Peel: Have heard the Edmonton Oilers have offered Evander Kane a four-year contract in the mid-$4 million range.
Doubt that is enough to sign him.
Jim Matheson: Someone will pay Kane $7 million year but term will be a big question mark. He’s a unique player – a top-six scorer who is tough.
Irfaan Gaffer: “This is true. 4×4.5 is what the Oilers offered. Guys in the room, specifically the most important ones want him back. Oilers don’t get nearly as far in the post season without Kane. Even the biggest bargain hunters would know 4.5 is low.”
Evander Kane is hitting the UFA market as he has the permission to speak to other teams.
He had good results playing next to Connor McDavid and is going to elevate his value. We would stay far away from him as he is probably going to get overpayed. pic.twitter.com/P69zDcAKnu
