The Edmonton Oilers have traded wing Evander Kane to the Vancouver Canucks. Kane signed a four-year contract extension with the Oilers following the 2021-2022 NHL season and is entering the final year of that deal. The Oilers will get back a fourth round pick in the trade.
Kane broke the news of the trade in a lengthy post on X where he thanked the organization, his teammates and the "incredible community" in Edmonton. Kane first joined the Oilers in January 2022.
As my time with the @EdmontonOilers has now come to a close, I want to take a moment to sincerely thank the entire organization, my teammates, and the incredible community of Edmonton.
