Elliotte Friedman has hinted at Kane's interest in the Oilers, as well as other teams.
Despite budget constraints, the Oilers could still present a compelling proposal to Kane.
Although Kane is not expected to demand a hefty salary, a carefully negotiated trade might bring him to Edmonton.
The Oilers already possess a robust offensive line-up, and while adding a defenseman might seem like the logical step, the opportunity to sign Kane could be too good to pass up.
Friedman has shared his thoughts on Kane's decision-making process, suggesting that Kane is close to choosing his preferred team.
On "Hockey Night in Canada," Friedman commented, "I think it's possible he's going to start narrowing down some of the teams that he's interested in and are interested in him," and added, "I still think he's a few weeks away from playing, but I think we're getting at least a few days closer to him narrowing down the list."
The anticipation of Kane's final decision is mounting.
