As Patrick Kane's rehabilitation makes progress, there's a growing buzz about his imminent return to the NHL.
Kane's Agent Keeps Options Open
Kane's agent, Pat Brisson, has made it clear that they won't rush into any team commitments. They're waiting for the right moment to make a decision.
Recent rumors have linked Kane to one of the top contenders in Alberta, the Edmonton Oilers. NHL Insider Elliot Friedman mentioned that the Oilers are among the teams on Kane's list.
Salary Cap Shuffle Required
One potential obstacle to this move is the Oilers' current salary cap situation, which is tight. To make it work, some cap maneuvering may be necessary.
Should a trade materialize, and a contract offer is extended by the Oilers, Kane would seriously consider the move. Edmonton could certainly benefit from Kane's talents as they seek to improve.
Kane's Progress and Decision
According to Friedman, Kane's return to NHL action is expected within a few weeks. During this time, he will continue to narrow down his list of potential teams.
As Kane's comeback approaches, both he and the interested teams are patiently awaiting the right moment to make their moves.
The timeline for Kane's return to the NHL is taking shape, and hockey fans eagerly anticipate his next destination in the league.
