Where Does Patrick Kane play next season? Update: Undergoes hip resurfacing surgery, out 4-6 months

[WarriorofTime]

Will likely sit out and then if he's good to go by December, sign a 1 year/minimum deal with someone with room that has an interest

 

[AvroArrow]

Tampa or Vegas, LTIR him until playoffs

 

[kingsholygrail]

Good luck to whoever signs him. lol

 

[TheGreatOne11]

Comes to the Leafs mid season on a cheap cup contract.

Callin it now.

I mean he’s probably worth $1m to play mostly on PP

 

[Kingfan1967]

Sign with contender -> surgery -> LTIR -> come back for playoffs -> cap circumvention cup run

so Vegas ? Tampa ?

 

[Ovie's Neighbor]

If it’s anything like Backstrom his career is likely over.

 

[TheDawnOfANewTage]

Doubt it he'll play for the Rangers.

Sabres? back to Chicago?
Golden Knights perhaps?.

Rangers
Chicago
Buffalo

Buffalo

Vegas can't afford him unless he's signing a Kessel type deal. Buffalo or Dallas would be my two guesses for where he ends up.

All the Buffalo guesses really don’t make much sense. We already have all offense and no d, a young leadership core, and a GM who doesn’t seem to make big moves. Why would we rock the boat with a gamble who can’t play D? Yes he’s from here. No he’s shown no desire to return. Just my 20 cents, take it or leave it.

I wasn't aware that Bäckström had hanged them up.

Yeah, 63 points in 80 games this season is pretty bad, $1m tops.

I was going to say this.....Tampa is my best guess.

 

[Ovie's Neighbor]

GM is trying to force him to. He’s just a warm body at this point and is a negative on the ice.

 

[GeeoffBrown]

I think he will sign for 1 year with a contender for whatever is remaining of the cap

OR

He signs 1 year with Chicago and they move him at the deadline again

KD doesn't want him back and has stated that several times publicly. So it would be a contender somewhere and I guess he is signed around Christmas to someone with a performance laden contract.

 

[mouser]

I would guess Kane doesn't sign until December/January when his health status is more clarified. Similar to what Tuuka Rask did last year.

 

[LeafalCrusader]

One of the Florida teams?

 

[Praetorian Caps]

Edmonton would be most beneficial, for both parties. Granted he would have to take a team friendly deal but he could give The Oilers the push they need in the playoffs and Kane will be on with a Stanley Cup contender.

 

[Devilsfan992]

Surprised only 2 pages on this, especially with the injury.

I think he will have issues getting signed in the off-season , but I can see some team signing him around the trade deadline if he's healthy.

 

[2014nyr]

most likely back with the rangers...prob a 1 year deal, doubt any movement til they get rfa's signed, clear some space, and have certainty on cap number to see where they're at
