Frank Seravalli has revealed that Kent Hughes and the Canadiens are set to make a contract offer to Patrick Kane in NHL free agency.
According to Frank Seravalli, Montreal is interested in Patrick Kane.
This is a huge and unexpected move, showing that Jeff Gorton was serious when he said the Canadiens aim to get closer to the playoffs next season. Gorton also mentioned that they're open to adding a big name in the free agent market, and it looks like Kane is that name.

The Canadiens are making a play for star forward Patrick Kane, and this is going to be a fascinating story to follow until tomorrow. While many were expecting Steven Stamkos, it seems Montreal might land Kane instead.
Kane, the first overall pick in 2007, notched an impressive 47 points in 50 games with the Detroit Red Wings in the 2023-2024 season. He could be a great fit on a line with Nick Suzuki or Kirby Dach.
