Report: Patrick Kane's Destination Likely Known

According to Darren Dreger, the Buffalo Sabres are demonstrating a "tremendous" interest for Patrick Kane. The free agent, who comes from Buffalo, is in the process of recovering from a hip surgery he underwent earlier in the off-season.

With the Sabres having a cap space of $8.77 million, they are in a good position to make a deal with Kane and make sure all his needs are met. There are indications that the Sabres might be considering a 2-year contract with him, which could seriously help their chances of finally appearing in the playoffs.

Such a move would resonate with the pattern seen in the NHL, where players like John Tavares and Max Domi of the Toronto Maple Leafs have made their way back to their home teams.
