Patrick Kane Gives Major Update on Future
General manager Steve Yzerman made a smart decision for the Detroit Red Wings by picking up forward Patrick Kane off waivers. Kane had just undergone hip resurfacing surgery and played through discomfort for the past two and a half years.
The decision has been rewarding for the Red Wings, with Kane resembling his former self when he posed a challenge for their bigger rivals back in the early 2010s while starring for the Chicago Blackhawks. Currently, Kane is maintaining an impressive point-per-game pace and displaying no signs of rust. He's propelled the Red Wings into contention for the postseason, but their recent 2-1 loss to the Washington Capitals didn't help their cause.Looking ahead, Kane faces the possibility of becoming an unrestricted free agent this summer, but is currently focoused on the moment..
Right now, it's more about being in the moment, being here with this team and trying to get in the playoffs. I think just with the situation I was in and coming in and being here for maybe three-quarters of the season, it's just this year and then we'll see what happens. Hopefully all that stuff figures itself out.
Kane is now confident about his decision to get surgery last off season ,even if it meant starting the season and signing in November.
I wasn't really sure going into surgery if it was the right decision. I feel like I put it off for 2-3 years, so it was probably time to do it. Really happy with everything. Feel like it's going to get better and better as time goes on, which is exciting.
As for Motown, Kane is enjoying his stay.
Obviously, it's not easy deciding where you want to play, where you think you'd fit best. Been great being a Wing and just playing at the LCA, the way the fans have embraced me. You didn't really know with the Chicago-Detroit rivalry.
Should Patrick Kane stay in Detroit or go to a team that has a legitimate chance of lifting the Stanley Cup?
