Despite these concerns, it seems they weren't enough to cause significant issues for the veteran forward. According to the Two Mutts Hockey Podcast, Kane fully intends to stay in Edmonton, even willing to exercise his no-move clause. He is expected to be healed and ready for training in September.
"Based on reports we've gotten over the last 48 hours @EdmontonOilers forward @evanderkane should be fully recovered & healthy by September when training camp opens up.
Kane has been able to do some activities, he's been golfing with his friends in Edmonton & enjoying life as he should be. He's also built a new home in Edmonton & the community has treated him very well as he's also treated the community well in return. It's been a great fit for both sides. He wants to be a part of this winning culture, he's been adding to it since he got to Edmonton.
The health is the most serious thing here, it sounds like it's been getting better for Kane. Which is a huge positive."
With Evander Kane getting back to full health and showing clear dedication to the team, the Edmonton Oilers are poised to be a force in the upcoming season. Whether or not it will be enough to win the Stanley Cup, only time will tell.
