"The Vancouver Canucks are in sell mode after moving on from their franchise cornerstone Quinn Hughes and forward Kiefer Sherwood. One player the Canucks are looking to move on from is Evander Kane. The 34-year-old is in the final year of his contract at $5.125M, and according to Chris Johnston, general manager Patrik Allvin is willing to retain some of Kane's contract."
"While the Toronto Maple Leafs do not have much draft capital, the Canucks could be willing to take on a roster player, as both teams are moving towards a culture shift. Evander Kane fits within Craig Berube's mould of being a physical grinder-type forward. If the Canucks are willing to eat 50% of Kane's contract, the Maple Leafs can afford his rights with Chris Tanev likely out for the season, and if the Leafs move on from other players."
Vancouver has shifted into sell mode after moving on from key players and is targeting Evander Kane for trade. Kane is 34 and in the final year of a $5.125M contract. Vancouver is willing to retain salary, potentially 50%, and would accept a third-round pick or a roster player in return. Toronto has limited draft capital but could absorb Kane, especially with Chris Tanev likely out for the season. Kane offers power-forward play, physicality, and veteran leadership at low cost, presenting a low-risk, high-reward option if he regains form down the stretch.
