From Daily Faceoff’s Frank Seravalli:

Two things that helped land Kane:
1) GM Steve Yzerman flew to Toronto to meet with Kane face-to-face.
2) #LGRW broke up DeBrincat-Larkin-Raymond line last week. Kane/DeBrincat reunion.

Also, credit to @J_Swish24, who had Kane signing in DET last night.https://t.co/mz8q0KLO4r

I’m all for an “@” noting the person who broke the deal first, and it should not surprise us that the Red Wings’ GM was willing to provide an in-person sales pitch to Kane and his agent, Pat Brisson.
