The surgery, a hip resurfacing procedure performed by Dr. Edwin Hsu, will require a recovery time of approximately 4-6 months. This means Kane will likely miss the first two months of the upcoming season with his new team.
Despite this setback, Kane's representative, Pat Brisson, assures that the priority is Kane's long-term playing career and doctors are optimistic about his return to the ice. While disappointing for Kane and his new team, his health and full recovery are paramount, and fans eagerly await his comeback.
