Contract Talks and Salary Cap Issues Could be Roadblock for Kane's Return
Kane is definitely still a valuable asset and will garner a pretty penny this season despite his injury status and age. However, this will pose some issues for many teams as they sit tight against the salary cap.
Kane is also still just 34 years old, which means he will not be eligible for a 35+ year-old contract. Despite this, rumours of several teams with significant interest have surfaced, including the Detroit Red Wings and the Toronto Maple Leafs.
As seen on Hawks Insider - "Kane has revealed his return date to the NHL."
