Overview
- Kane told reporters Friday there is mutual interest in a new contract in Detroit and that he will decide after talks with his agent and family.
- He said Detroit has been a good place for his family and pointed to his strong partnership with Alex DeBrincat as a reason to stay.
- The 37-year-old finished with 57 points in 67 games this season and hit career marks of 1,400 points and his 500th goal.
- Detroit went 41-31-10 for 92 points and missed the playoffs, with inconsistency and defensive lapses cited in post-season reviews.
- Team analysts say re-signing Kane is a top offseason priority to help five-on-five scoring, and replacing his production would be difficult if he departs.
