The Oilers did not retain any of Kane's $5.125 cap hit, giving them some much-needed cap space to work with this offseason. Kane missed all of the 2024-25 regular season but was solid in the Oilers' postseason run to the Stanley Cup Final, posting 12 points (6G / 6A), 47 SOG and 95 Hits in 21 games. He'll now get a chance to suit up for his hometown team, his fifth NHL franchise of his career.
