It's felt as if the Patrick Kane trade rumours haven't stopped for months. Whether it was the Rangers, Leafs, or Oilers, Kane was bound to move - it was inevitable.
Now, new reports are indicating not only that Kane won't be moved, but that he won't play again this season.
Per The Athletic's Arthur Staple, Kane may be needing hip surgery, that would sideline him for at least the rest of this season.
It will be Kane's decision if he does the surgery or not now, but either way, it adds a lot of risk for a team.
We will see how it all unfolds.
