Patrick Kane has been the talk of the offseason, as he continues to remain unsigned while rehabilitating from his hip surgery. It was reported that Kane was not going to sign with a team until the end of October. Now, with training camps starting to wrap up, a more clear picture is emerging on who can sign Kane.
Recently, Pierre LeBrun has predicted that Kane will sign in Florida with the Panthers instead of the rumoured favourite, his hometown Buffalo Sabres.
Kane and his Agent are waiting until the end of October not just to rehabilitate his hips, but to also get a picture of who has a shot at winning the Stanley Cup. For that reason, Florida needs to be able to hang on in order to be attractive to Kane.
LeBrun thinks this is possible, but they are taking a slight gamble waiting for Ekblad and Montour to return to the blue line.
As the season starts, it appears teams will be playing for the Patrick Kane sweepstakes in addition to a position in the standings.
