As reported by Darren Dreger, the Buffalo Sabres have been showing tremendous interest in signing Patrick Kane. Recent reports have confirmed that Kane is looking to sign with a team near the end of the month.
The Sabres are almost a perfect fit for Kane, as he has a personal connection to the club, but also the Sabres are one of few teams in the NHL with cap space. The Sabres currently have $8.77 million in free space, which is more than enough to secure Kane for 1-2 years.
Kane is also rehabbing his hip in Toronto, which is just a few hour's drive from his hometown. With a recent surge of players returning home in their veteran years, Kane could be next on that list.
