Evander Kane began his NHL journey as the fourth pick in the 2009 draft, chosen by the Atlanta Thrashers. During his tenure with them, he played 139 games, tallying up 69 points. This lasted until the team relocated to Winnipeg, becoming the Jets.
For Kane, returning to Atlanta to wrap up his career would be poetic, completing a full circle. He envisions himself on the ice for another seven to eight years, hinting at a possible return. Presently, only Blake Wheeler and Zach Bogosian, former Thrashers, are active in the NHL. With their impending retirements, Kane may soon be the last link to the Atlanta Thrashers legacy.
