Kane has also mentioned when being questioned on a possible trade that it is a «summer decision», and summer is quickly approaching..
At the age Kane is at, it is identical to former Philadelphia Flyers captain Claude Giroux. At the age they are at, as well as how many seasons they potentially have left, winning is a priority and being on a team that is rebuilding and in a very very rough drought is not ideal.
The Avalanche have a TON of cap space to clear this summer after this season, let's take a look at the expiring contracts:
UFA ANDRÉ BURAKOVSKY - $4.9M
UFA NAZEM KADRI - $4.5M
UFA VALERI NICHUSHKIN - $2.5M
UFA ARTTURI LEHKONEN - $1.15M
And plenty of another unrestricted free agents to clear cap space, to potentially take on Patrick Kane and his hefty contract.
«Summer decisions» he says, as summer is approaching quickly.. And Patrick Kane will be looking to have a chance at another Stanley Cup before he retires.
