Questions emerge on Patrick Kane's future after emotional statement
Many questions emerge about Patrick Kane's future with the Detroit Red Wings after he shared an emotional statement on X.
Kane, 34, returned to the NHL at the end of 2023, after he underwent a massive hip surgery, that forced him to miss quite some time. After months of rumors and speculation, Kane signed a one-year deal with the Detroit Red Wings, joining his former Blackhawks teammate Alex DeBrincat.
He had a great year, tallying 47 points, including 20 goals, in 50 games.
In the end, the team came up short for the playoffs, and missed their shot by only a few points.
After that emotional elimination, Kane took a few days off, and he finally shared a statement on social media.
Read it here:
The last sentence in Kane's statement means that he intends to return in the NHL next season. This summer, he will look to sign a contract, but we don't know yet where that'll be.
The future is bright in Detroit, and that could be what convinces him to remain with the Wings.
That'll be an interesting situation to follow in the off-season.
