A New Report Reveals a Likely Homecoming for Patrick Kane
The Buffalo Sabres Have Expressed Heavy Interest in Patrick Kane.
In recent reports, there's a growing possibility of Patrick Kane returning home through free agency, as a particular team has shown significant interest in securing his services.
According to Darren Dreger's report, the Buffalo Sabres are displaying "tremendous" interest in Patrick Kane, a Buffalo native and free agent currently in the midst of rehabilitating his hips following a successful offseason surgery.
The Sabres presently possess ample salary cap space to facilitate such a deal, boasting $8.77 million in cap room. This financial flexibility appears to be more than sufficient to accommodate Kane's contract requirements. The team may be contemplating a potential two-year arrangement, positioning themselves for a playoff push.
Kane's potential homecoming to Buffalo would align with the recent trend of NHL players returning to their hometown teams, akin to John Tavares and Max Domi's signings with the Toronto Maple Leafs.
