We Now Know When Patrick Kane Will Sign His Next Deal

Patrick Kane's agent has revealed when he will sign his next contract.

When Kane Will Sign Revealed

Nobody expected Patrick Kane to sign a contract immediately into free agency but his agent has provided some major insight on what Kane will do.

Kane's agent, Pat Brisson, is notorious for being one of the best in the game. He said the following regarding Kane's contract.

What This Means

This means two things. First off, it means that Kane will get full control over his rehabilitation. This is something many players wish they had and was epitomized by Jack Eichel refusing to play until he got the surgery he wanted to get.

Secondly, it means that Kane will wait till he is healthy to choose a contending team that he thinks he could help win the cup with. An interesting portion of Brisson's quote is how teams using LTIR could be on Kane's radar.

Three of the past four cup champions (Tampa's back-to-back and Vegas) had star players on the LTIR who were able to return for the playoffs. This could be Kane's way of saying he wants to continue to exploit this loophole and ensure he is part of a super team who could win the cup.
