Having undergone hip surgery during the offseason, Kane has refrained from finalizing a contract, despite attracting interest from multiple teams.
"I think we're at the point now where, I mean, could I come back early? Yeah, probably,» Kane said. «But does it make sense? You know, it might be better to take the full time and just make sure I'm at 105-110% instead of just 90-95. But it's a lot better than I was last year." - Kane
Before succumbing to his injury, Kane was easily a 100-point achiever. Despite this, he managed to contribute 57 points.
The focal point now pivots from Kane's imminent return to the intriguing question of which team he will rejoin. Numerous teams have exhibited keen interest, but presently, the prevailing signs lean toward the Sabres as the probable destination.
