Speculation has surfaced regarding the status of the power forward with the Oilers in the days leading up to free agency. Oilers reporter Ryan Rishaug has indicated that the team has not yet approached him about waiving his 16-team no-trade clause. This implies that any potential negotiations might involve a team not included on that list.
Currently, the Oilers' forward lineup is packed with depth. With Jeff Skinner's arrival and Corey Perry's extension, Edmonton boasts one of the league's strongest forward groups, even without Kane.
Today, there was an update on Kane's health status. Previously known to have a sports hernia, it's now revealed he also faced a significant hip injury, which clarifies his absence from the season's final games.
