Oilers Explore Evander Kane Trade Options Ahead of Deadline
The Edmonton Oilers are assessing the market for Evander Kane as the NHL trade deadline approaches, particularly after his no-trade clause has shifted to a modified version that allows for potential trades. Kane, currently on long-term injured reserve due to multiple surgeries, represents a significant cap hit of $5.125 million. The Oilers hope to either trade him to free up cap space or potentially reintegrate him into the lineup, as he could add valuable depth and toughness for the playoffs if healthy. However, Kane's injury status and prior controversies complicate his marketability, with teams possibly hesitant to take on his contract. As the Oilers navigate a five-game losing streak, their decision on Kane could impact their playoff strategy and roster composition moving forward. Ultimately, the team is weighing the benefits of retaining Kane against the flexibility a trade might provide ahead of the deadline.
