The Oilers re-signed Evander Kane to a four-year deal worth $20.5 million ($5.125M AAV).

After some off-the-ice issues ended his tenure in San Jose, Kane landed with the Oilers in the middle of the 2022 season and he flourished. The 30-year-old power forward scored 22 goals with 17 assists (39 points) in 43 games and was over a point-per-game during their postseason run, scoring 13 goals with four assists (17 points) in 15 games. Kane played 62.8 percent of his regular-season 5v5 ice-time with Connor McDavid, foreshadowing what his usage may be like next season. He was on pace for 42 goals and 32 assists this season, suggesting he could be one of the best fantasy hockey wingers available in 2022-23.

The Canucks have signed Brock Boeser to a three-year, $19.95 million contract extension.

Boeser was set to become an RFA after his three-year, $17.625M deal expired. His new-deal carries a $6.65M AAV cap-hit and carries him through the 2025 season. Boeser is coming off of his fourth 20-plus goal season and has at least 45 points in five straight seasons. His biggest issue has been health, missing 15 percent of the games since 2018.

Chytil (upper-body) is not expected to play Saturday in Boston.

Chytil suffered an upper-body injury against the Islanders on Thursday and is not expected to play Saturday in Boston. With both Chytil and Andrew Copp (lower-body) not likely to be available, look for two of Jonny Brodzinski, Greg McKegg and/or Julien Gauthier to draw into the lineup.
