It's going to happen sometime this week. Patrick Kane will sign with the Buffalo Sabres; two year deal in the $3.5-$4M per season range.

Kane is from Buffalo and has been training in Toronto since recovering from hip surgery this offseason. Buffalo was already a suspected landing spot for Kane, and it isn't a stretch to believe he has signed there.

Could a Two-Year Deal Hinder Buffalo's Future Prospects

If Kane did sign a two-year deal worth $4 million per year, there could be implications for some of Buffalo's younger prospects. A two-year deal could hinder the development of one of Benson, Savoie, Kulich, or Rosen.

Another reminder that a multi year deal for Patrick Kane will 100% block out a path for one of Buffalo's 1st round prospects who aren't that far from being NHL ready
