Patrick Kane continues to rehab from his hip surgery. He's been doing so in the Toronto area since July and requires at least another month. We know Buffalo has interest. He could help a lot of teams when healthy.
Spending the past two months in Toronto could be a sign of him already choosing where he will be playing next season.
It is known that Kane will not sign anywhere until he is completely healthy so he will give it another month before he even signs anywhere.
The Leafs have a primed opportunity to sign Kane right now as he is comfortable with the area and there will be space for him. Sheldon Keefe recently confirmed that he will be playing William Nylander at center which could be him opening a slot up for Kane on the second line alongside John Tavares.
We will now see if Brad Treliving can work some magic and keep the future Hall of Famer in Toronto for the next year or more.
