A new report has indicated that Patrick Kane is close to signing with the Dallas Stars or the Toronto Maple Leafs. While this is a bit of a departure from previous rumours, it makes sense that these two teams could be the top of the list, as both have Stanley Cup aspirations this season.
Kane was previously linked to the Detroit Redwings, the Buffalo Sabres, and the New York Rangers, however, if he is looking to win another cup, he might have more luck in Toronto or Dallas.
Kane has been spending a lot of time in Toronto the past few months, as he has been rehabilitating from his hip surgery in the City. This could be an advantage for the Leafs if they are pursuing him, having him right in their backyard.
