Overview
- NHL insider Kevin Weekes reported that Dallas and Colorado are among the leading suitors for Kane ahead of the March 6 trade deadline.
- PuckPedia projects the Avalanche with roughly $5.089 million in deadline cap space versus about $3.267 million for the Stars, a gap that could ease Colorado’s path.
- Kane carries a $5.125 million cap hit, and the Canucks can retain up to 50% ($2.56 million) under CBA rules to facilitate a deal.
- Through 49 games this season, Kane has nine goals and 14 assists and is set to become an unrestricted free agent this summer, which is expected to keep the acquisition cost modest.
- Vancouver has been stockpiling 2026 draft picks after moving Quinn Hughes and Kiefer Sherwood and acquired Kane last summer from Edmonton for a fourth-round pick.
