3X Stanley Cup Champion Patrick Kane Returns to Chicago!
Patrick Kane speculation season has begun, and while they aren't quite as spooky as say, the original Evil Dead movie. All the while, the rumors remain enthralling.
The NHL Insider's "airport spies" have spotted a free agent and 3x Stanley Cup champion in this Atlantic Division's team's airport, according to Darren Dreger.
Patrick Kane was spotted (in Toronto) on Wednesday... He's going back to Chicago for a bit of a break. But... he's been working out in the Toronto area rehabbing. I'm told that, man, he is on schedule and looks great and feels great.
To the point where his agent is going to start exploring (signing options) in a week to ten days. And once they get through that, they'll follow with interviews and meetings with some of these clubs, before Kane makes his ultimate decision.
According to Dreger, Kane was recently seen in Toronto, but shortly after that, he headed back to Chicago.
Kane and his agent will explore signing options soon, as his rehab is ahead of schedule, according to Dreger.
The 3x Stanley Cup champion has been rehabbing from hip resurfacing surgery since June 1st, and, according to Pat Brisson, they won't consider signing a contract until he's ready to return to the ice.
It is likely that Kane will sign a contract by the middle of the month, according to Dreger.
For any team hoping to sign him, the salary cap needs to be shuffled. The Hart Trophy winner has 16 years of experience. In a few weeks or so, we'll see how this turns out.
