It’s merely a rumor that he doesn’t want to play in Winnipeg. In either case, Winnipeg needs to pony up for the offense. Even Captain Ladd has called for a bump in scoring, and Kane is a guy that can’t afford to lose. The Jets org needs to show their fans that they’re committed to creating a winning team and fostering a winning mindset for this hockey-mad city, instead of wallowing in mediocrity while making hand over fist in moolah. A team full of 3rd and 4th liners won’t win Cups.

Back when Winnipeg was still the Atlanta Thrashers, they were my second favourite team in the league. Nothing has changed since moving to Winnipeg. Signing Pavelec was obviously a huge move for the franchise. I think signing Kane is an even bigger one though. They need his scoring ability up front, but apparently he doesn’t want to sign back with Winnipeg. If that’s the case and they are unable to come to a decision on him, then they are going to lose their best young player and a staple in their offense. I’d hate to see it happen.

“wanting to keep him around and happy” – maybe he’s then also able to pay his dinner
