Evander Kane Will Test The Open Market After Disrespectful Offer From Oilers
Depsite Kane's off-ice issues last season Evander Kane genuinely helped the Edmonton Oilers and there scoring issues, the 30 year old was on pace to smash his career totals in goals, assists and even in the plus/minus category but could not complete a full season due to off-ice issues with his ex girlfriend.
Kane even ranked 4th in team scoring, even though he played roughly 35 less games than most on the Oilers roster, his scoring continued in the playoffs registering 13 goals in 15 games played, the most out of any Edmonton Oiler despite missing one game. The only downside to his outstanding performances in the regular season and playoffs for the Oilers? He is now not under any contract, and will be needing a new one shortly- a much larger paying one than before.
Tom Gazzola NHL insider revealed he is looking for a LARGE pay day (as deserved) and $7 million may not cut it for the goal scoring forward, Kane filed for bankruptcy in the past due to his gambling addiction and issues and will be seeking the most money possible..
The Oilers submitted a offer of $4.65 million per season to Kane, and he has chose to test the free agency market- despite his off ice drama, $4.65 million for a player of Kanes caliber is absolutely disrespectful as he lead the Oilers in scoring right behind Leon Draisaitl and Connor McDavid.
