Evander Kane to Sign in KHL, Likely Ending His NHL Career

Free agent winger Evander Kane will play the 2026-27 season in the KHL after being unable to secure an NHL contract, according to agent Dan Milstein. Despite receiving several North American offers, Kane chose Russia, effectively signaling the end of his NHL career. Kane posted 13 goals and 31 points in 70 games for the Vancouver Canucks last season after being acquired from the Edmonton Oilers, capping a career marked by strong power-forward play and off-ice issues.
