[QUOTE="Illinoise, post: 1779424, member: 3844"] Maybe you can help me understand your logic on Kane and Toews walking for nothing being an indictment of this demolition. It sounded like you agree that Toews has no value at this point in a trade. How that is Davidsons fault I don’t see. Do you think they should sign him to an extension now? Kane has a no trade clause so you can’t get anything for him unless he wants to go. Again, Davidsons hands are tied there. I’m pretty sure if you hooked Davidson up to lie detector he would fail miserably if he said he hopes Kane sticks around and plays out the year. I’m sure he would love to move him for picks or prospects but that is up to Kane and no one else. I think where we differ here is how the Blackhawks should “treat” their future hall of famers and to what extent should they prioritize keeping them around versus taking that emotional connection out of it and doing whatever is needed to develop the next great team. Salary caps have changed how you have to look at these things. There was a time when you could pay guys for their past performance and contributions to the team and not be penalized. Signing guys like Kane and Toews to extensions just because they are future hall of famers can be done but I would argue it’s a recipe for disaster. [/QUOTE]
