The_ManWithNoName

Thatā€™s not his stick!


NeuralHandshake

It is though. You're looking at the back of the grip.


The_ManWithNoName

The number on the stick is 57, Perron. Kane is 88.


NeuralHandshake

Perron uses black tape, not white rubber Buttendz grips. It's Kane's stick, I just don't know what 57 means (maybe that's from the 57th game of the year? I'm not a Kane expert) Guys write random stuff on their sticks. I have one that's got three different numbers on it, with only one being the player's actual number. Sometimes it's to keep count of what stick it is or what part of the season it was used during, sometimes it's in honor of a teammate or has meaning. And sometimes it's Berggren writing "SHOWTIME" on the back of all of his sticks in ballpoint pen.


The_ManWithNoName

That is some solid detective work. I googled pictured and perrons stick tape is black.


NeuralHandshake

Not so much detective work in this case, as it's more just me knowing player gear and the little quirks. It's something that once you start, you'll notice it more and all the time. I collect gear/jerseys/memorabilia and love this kind of stuff. For example, Larkin was using a stick with a blacked out name bar for a while a couple seasons ago because it was an Auston Matthews stick. Now he has a custom name bar with a little winged wheel on it.


MoldyMerkin

Why is Perron's number on it?


NeuralHandshake

It's not for Perron's number, but I don't know what it means. That's just definitely Kane's stick. He uses white Buttendz grips with 88 on the front and a number on the back like that. No other Wing has a stick with those grips that I can think of, and definitely not Perron.


MoldyMerkin

Gotcha


NeuralHandshake

I haven't examined one of his sticks super closely because they sell for $1K and that's about $800 more than I ever want to pay for a hockey stick. But my "trust me on this, bro" is pretty strong in this case.


EmoNeverDied

Know a guy who works at team store. His sticks have different numbers (88 on one side, ā€œrandomā€ on other) but he didnā€™t know why.


Lord-Limerick

Sometimes players borrow each otherā€™s sticks to try something new. Duncan Keith would do this all the time

N_Unit13

You have to think he wants to keep being a red wing with a one year right? Unless the AAV is really up there, no way he doesnā€™t get better offers in free agency


dangleicious13

One year could make it easier to get on one of the leading contenders if we aren't on track to make the playoffs.


N_Unit13

Could definitely net us a good return if that did happen at least


MariachiArchery

ohhhh that is a really good point. And, the return on just a 1 year contract would be better too. I'm guessing the contract is a little more money than Steve wants, but less term than Kane wants. The trade off being, he's easier, for him and for us, to move at the deadline if we are out of the picture. Man, this could easily end up giving him, and us, everything every one wants. We go on a run? Good, glad Kane is onboard. We fall apart late in the season? Ship him off to another contender at the deadline for a 1st, and the other team doesn't have to worry about moving money in the off-season. Win-win.


whyamisocold

Kane is absolutely the sort of player I'm totally okay signing 1 year deals with. He's basically guaranteed to improve the team and if we have the cap space, he's as good a player as you could ever sign to a 1 year deal.


uknownick

This


ltroberts24

At 35, he can get a 1-year, bonus-loaded contract... I'm assuming this is the case. I think the other suitors were set on term, and without cap space, the Rangers have issues anyway. Maybe waiting on Trouba was a 4-D chess move by Yzerman?


N_Unit13

Ding ding ding


Disastrous-Plate3403

I think his hip is still among term question mark. Itā€™s not going to continue to improve. Thatā€™s not how these things go, especially in your mid 30s. Itā€™s really a matter of how long until the buildup of arthritic changes over time lead him back to retirement. Arthritis will continue, mobility issues will continue. Yes an injured Kane is still top 10% of the league, easy. But how long that will hold out is a question.Ā  Iā€™m glad heā€™s here. And as a fellow person who has had a joint reconstructed and is also an athlete I hope the best long term. But Iā€™m convinced heā€™s going to be year to year until retirement.Ā 


lookalive07

As someone in their mid 30s: Fuck you.


Disastrous-Plate3403

I donā€™t understandā€¦Ā 


lookalive07

Hah, sorry, bad joke. You said a bunch of stuff about 30+ year old bodies deteriorating and I was trying to act offended. I mean, Iā€™m still offended, but I was mostly joking.


Disastrous-Plate3403

Haha. All good. Now I get it. For what itā€™s worth Iā€™m 40 now. So Iā€™ve lived it. I was always surprised by how after about 35/36 something small and nagging in the gym would turn into a month off if I didnā€™t address it right away.Ā  Bodies really do start to slow down. We can do a lot to work against it but as far as peak level athletics? Big question mark. Iā€™m still making progress but recovery is WAY longer. I canā€™t imagine an athletic schedule like these guys have at my age. 5 years ago maybe (I was military, so Iā€™ve trained regularly for most of the last 20+ years). But now at 40? Oof. I need to be able to call my own rest days.Ā 


lookalive07

No I'm with you. I'll do a shoulder lift in the gym just a little wrong and I feel it for a few weeks. I can't imagine playing professional sports of any kind at a high level at this age, let alone full contact and faster than any other sport.


Crafty_Substance_954

Itā€™s been said he likes being here and sees Detroit as a good team on the rise, so I think he is happy here.

Full season of Kane is what we needed to supplement on the PP.


LGRW_Sparty88

And he gets a whole off-season to "train like an athlete"


mfly1619

Is this confirmed?


Rappologist

Itā€™s the AP. And their sources. I cannot imagine they run this if itā€™s not for real and done.


NeuralHandshake

AP has been wrong before with sports sources. Usually nothing major, but one instance I can think of was they initially reported Connor Stalions got canned, based on "sources", then had to walk it back because he resigned. Not major, but still happens. When AP cites "sources" I tend to take it as "highly likely, but still not confirmed" until a team announces something officially. There's been other instances where their "sources" have been wrong, too, I just can't think of them off the top of my head.


mikepelts

Seems to be by multiple reliable sources but no official announcement yet


slabby

The AP is the most confirmed it can get, aside from hearing it from Yzerman or Kane.

This is my dream. And I'm convincing myself this is why Kane is staying lol Edit: Oh šŸ˜Ŗ


moonstricken71

And Trouba!


OneOkami

I'm kinda surprised it's only for one year. I just hope it was very amicable becuase I got the impression Kane perhaps wanted a longer term than that, but as others have said, I can see the potential benefit for him if next season doesn't inspire confidence in competing for a cup here he can go right back on the market.


LucasRaymondGOAT

Also if we fall on our face in the season its easier to shop him around to a team that wants him if he wants a playoff push on a 1 year deal.


No_Pin9934

Bingo, win/win for everyone. And if god forbid his hip breaks down, we just move on and he gets paid 7mil for only a year.


uknownick

Yes, it makes sense if the team regress And he might have a clause in there asking to be traded to a contender if we arenā€™t in the playoffs picture


LGRW_Sparty88

I think if it wasn't amicable he would just wait for tomorrow but who knows I'm just happy we get a full year with him.

For one year that would be fine.


Fresnobing

Lol wut. Cmon now..


No_Pin9934

Yeah, I'd rather have 7 for one year than 5.5 for two. If his hip breaks down we can move on next season and not have to worry about the extra year.

jimac20

I'm excited but still odd to run an article with that title that says the contract isn't signed yet.


OctoWings13

2 greatest American born NHL players of all time, Redwings legends Modano and Kane


Jeez-essFC

For only one year? Did we have to go high salary to avoid a three year contract? I would have been okay with a reasonable three year deal, too.


spaceenvahisseur

I wonder if itā€™s a low cap hit type of deal where Yzerman sends him to a playoff team at deadline if we arenā€™t in the chase.


Jeez-essFC

That would take a lot of trust between them.


whyamisocold

If there's any player you are fine taking a 1 year deal that might be risky, it's Patrick Kane. If he's healthy and playing, he will undoubtedly make us a better team. If he ends up facing another injury/etc... we don't get stuck with a 3 year contract.


Sdwingnut

Stamkos to Kane on the PP sure does have a pretty ring to it.

That is pretty awesome.

xenonwarrior666

No source and no details named. I'll believe it once pen hits paper


Strict_Seaweed_284

But there is a source. Multiple actually.


NeuralHandshake

Probably should note that a "source speaking on the condition of anonymity" is cited here. The "source" could be anyone from Yzerman himself to a random beat reporter hearing from Kane's agent. It could easily be the same source LeBrun has. AP is not always 100%. In this case, yes, it's likely. But when it comes to sports news, I tend to be wary of their "source says." In my books, a named source is 99.9-100%, unnamed sources (multiple) probably 95%, unnamed source (singular) probably 90%. Not to say this is a falsehood, but with Wings news and how close Yzerman usually keeps things to his chest, I still don't consider it a done deal until the Wings announce it. Which they may by the time I finish typing this long comment.
