Overview

  • Deputy commissioner Bill Daly said Tuesday the league closed its inquiry and found no salary-cap circumvention.
  • Edmonton moved Kane to LTIR just before the trade deadline and used some flexibility to add Trent Frederic and Jake Walman.
  • Kane missed the entire regular season after abdominal and knee surgeries, then returned in Game 2 of the first round against Los Angeles.
  • He recorded six goals and 12 points in 21 playoff games as the Oilers fell to Florida in the Stanley Cup Final.
  • Edmonton traded Kane to Vancouver in June for a 2025 fourth-round pick, and he enters the final season of a deal carrying a $5.125 million cap hit.
