Evander Kane is almost guaranteed to miss a few months with his upcoming surgery, but now a doctor has revealed the extent of the recovery time.

The Edmonton Oilers were preparing for training camp without Evander Kane, and now the veteran forward has confirmed the gruesome injury that he will have fixed with a surgery this week.

According to Kane, his procedure will look to fix both abductors, two hernias and two abdominal tears, and while that all sounds brutal, the veteran remains confident he will return at some point this season. However, a renowned doctor from the University of British Columbia isn't so sure, as he replied to the above post with his prediction for Kane's recovery time from injury.

Dr. Harjas Grewal looked into the procedure and has revealed that Kane is no chance of returning in the year 2024, and also stated that there's a possibility he misses the entire season. This is dreadful news for Kane, who was looking to find his role in Edmonton on a Stanley Cup hopeful, but he remains optimistic that he will be back on the ice sometime this season.

However, the injury will allow the Oilers to utilize all of Kane's cap space to potentially bolster this roster, so if he can go through with this surgery and get back in 2024/25, this is a team that could be considered the favourite for the Stanley Cup.
