"Without even asking if Kane, an American native of Buffalo, would want to play in Canada, I want to dream a little at the start of this weekend.
The Canadiens are following a clear and precise plan, that's true. But Kent Hughes has sometimes let slip, during some interviews, that his plan includes the idea of adding a big natural talent to his team, a star player who can 'change the game.'
Kane is a left-handed player who plays on the right wing. If I close my eyes and imagine Kane completing Nick Suzuki at center and 'Goal' Caufield on the left, I get a lot of pleasure.
I smile and daydream about seeing the prolific Kane wear the iconic mostly red Canadiens jersey on a Saturday night at the temple...
I have no trouble recreating the sound of the leaping and screaming crowd after a Kane laser in the top corner."
