The Edmonton Oilers could be on the verge of trading Evander Kane, with two division rivals showing strong interest in acquiring the veteran forward.
Evander Kane's tenure in Edmonton has been marked by impressive performance on the ice but also by off-ice controversies, including reported locker room issues during the 2023/24 season.
Trade interest from Anaheim Ducks and Los Angeles Kings
Recent reports have surfaced indicating that the Anaheim Ducks and Los Angeles Kings are keenly pursuing a deal for Evander Kane.
The Edmonton Oilers' plans to reach the Stanley Cup Finals in 2025 might be influencing Evander Kane's reluctance to waive his no-trade clause, as he appears hesitant to leave a team with such high aspirations.
Despite this, if locker room issues persist, the Oilers may need to reconsider their stance.
As discussions continue, the challenge remains that Evander Kane has not yet agreed to waive his no-trade clause.
This could prove to be a significant hurdle in the trade process. The situation is fluid, and the outcome will likely hinge on both the player's willingness to move and the evolving needs of the Oilers.
