After over a decade with the Chicago Blackhawks, Kane is likely to join the third team in his NHL career ahead of the 2023-24 season, and now, it appears likely that the team he joins will be his hometown Buffalo Sabres.
A year or two ago, this couldn't have been a worse match for Kaner, but now, the Sabres young, emerging stars have become capable of winning big hockey games, and with almost $9 million in cap space, the Sabres have more than enough to make a deal here.
It's been reported that Kane is looking for a multi-year deal to end his career, and there's no better match on and off the ice than the Buffalo Sabres, and unless things change, this could be a reunion that shakes the Eastern Conference to its core.
