Insider links Patrick Kane to Western Conference powerhouse

This week is expected to be a big one for unrestricted free agent forward Patrick Kane, as it's anticipated that he will narrow down his list of teams he's willing to sign with.

Kane has been linked to a number of teams over the last few weeks and months including the Buffalo Sabres, Dallas Stars, Detroit Red Wings and New York Rangers, among others, but on Thursday, Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman shared another team to keep an eye on - the Colorado Avalanche.




Kane, 34, underwent hip resurfacing surgery in the off-season and has been ramping up his on-ice activities in the last couple of months with the expectation that he would be ready to return to game action in the NHL later in November.

The Buffalo native appeared in 73 games last season between the Chicago Blackhawks and New York Rangers, who acquired him ahead of the trade deadline in early-March. In those 73 games, Kane managed to put up 57 points (21 goals, 36 assists).
