The buzz around Patrick Kane possibly joining the Toronto Maple Leafs has generated discussion among hockey fans.
While many teams are eyeing Kane, including Toronto, concerns exist about the salary cap implications. Jay Rosehill doubts the feasibility, emphasizing the long-term consequences of signing a player of Kane's caliber.
"I just don't see how. You sign a player like Patrick Kane, that's going to have ramifications down the road when his contract is on the books." - Rosehill
Adding Kane, though enticing, presents cap challenges. Nick Alberga believes the Leafs may not require another high-scoring player, given their recent offseason changes to play a different style.
Kane and Matthews would be insane
"I'm not sure Patrick Kane is another bonafide scorer." - Alberga
The debate continues as the Leafs contemplate their next move.
