I do think they need to get a veteran or two, just not sure it is him at the price range he will want.
Also you are missing newhook in that lineeup

Marchy is going to get s rrtirrment contract.
I'm open to getting Monahan gor a couple of years. He's insurance at C and will have no pronlem anywhere ee put him.
The trick is to get rid of Armia, Ghally snd Anderson.
As a big move...that will never happen...fastest wsy out of the basement is Dubois...GOTCHA!
Reinhart is a ticket out and still good 5 years from now.

According to Frank Seravalli, the Habs will be submitting an offer to Patrick Kane tomorrow, possibly at 2x6.5

Not sure how I feel about Kane. He was good in Detroit averaging nearly a point per game in 50 games. If he isn't going to block anybody then it may work. Even though he's getting to the end of the road it would be nice to attract a name guy once in a while.

I'd be a player on Jeff Skinner for 2 years, cheap price.

Sheesh. Dallas is also supposedly interested and if you're Kane and trying to decide...."hmmm, should I go to a high tax, rebuild situation, with admittedly fun kids to play with, or to a no tax state where the team is a strong contender for the Cup"? Decisions, decisions.
The suggestion was a 2 year term at $6.3MM per in the story. I mean, sure, if it's a 2 year term, a guy like Kane would fit onto the team smoothly. A ppg guy with flash would be loved by the fan base, but he is 35 so clearly a stop gap measure. For 2 years it might make sense for Montreal, but not for Kane. Also, Dallas could offer $5.5 and Kane would end up with the same $$ in his pocket. The joys of the current CAP system.
It would be cool to have Kane on the team, though. Another vet, (so we can replace Matheson's vet status when we trade him).

I'd be a player on Jeff Skinner for 2 years, cheap price. Never. Absolutely the wrong role model for effort and play at both ends. Is my opinion too strong on this?

It would be odd for a 36 year old American megastar who has never played for a Canadian club in the NHL to make that choice now. And if he was open to it, I would think playing with McDavid and Draisaitl would be the only niche that would interest him. Although for the Oilers to make that happen, they would probably have to find a way to make the other Kane go away.
I do not see Hughes being active tomorrow. If he was not saddled with Armia, Anderson, and Gallagher, then sure he would probably be looking to add a nice veteran or two so long as the term would be limited. But basically Hughes has a complete roster already signed.

I just saw on Sportsnet that Kane is re-signing in Detroit on a one year deal. That is kind of surprising since I think there are teams out there who would have given him two years or perhaps even three.

Apparently, Kane's AAV is only $4 million. There are $2.5 million in bonuses, most of which are easy to reach. So I guess Yzerman could potentially just kick that part of the cap hit into 2025-26 if the need arises.

He has no remarkable playoff history and his style of play is more like Mike Hoffman than Claude Lemieux.

If he has 25 with us at the deadline then we’d be competing for a playoff spot and would need him Remember Caufield didn’t get very much more than 25 last year. So if Caufield , Suzuki, Skinner, Slaf , and Dach have 25 then we are in the playoff hunt - especially if they all have 25 by the deadline!

Well looks like not much has changed regarding our appeal to free agents. Most everyone decent is off the board and we get zilch.

Well the Leafs only signed those guys because, as usual, they caved on term. 6 years for Tanev? Really? How many shots will he be blocking at 40 years old?
The Habs are really not in a position to sign big names & I wasn't expecting it. Maybe some smaller signings to fill holes.
After all it's only 1pm. Give it some time.
