Despite signing a one-year deal followed by a long-term extension with the Oilers, there are indications that his tenure with the team might end prematurely, given his history.
Mark Spector, an insider and reporter for the Oilers, voiced concerns about Kane's disruptive behavior, which he later deleted. Spector emphasized that Kane's penchant for drama could be detrimental to the team, especially as they approach the playoffs.
Currently, Kane is dealing with a year-long sports hernia, which has caused tensions within the locker room. While he hopes to play, he has had to take time off the ice to allow for healing.
Many believe that for the Oilers to succeed, they need to distance themselves from Kane's presence, as his drama could negatively impact star player Connor McDavid and the team as a whole.
