Evander Kane Signs KHL Deal After Missing Out on NHL Contract
Evander Kane signed a one-year contract with KHL club Sibir Novosibirsk, continuing his career in Russia after spending last season with the Vancouver Canucks and not securing an NHL deal. The 35-year-old winger had 13 goals and 31 points in 71 games for Vancouver and finished his NHL career with 339 goals and 648 points in 1,001 regular-season games. Sibir’s general manager acknowledged the risks of signing Kane but said the team hopes his power-play ability and energy can help address its scoring needs; Kane previously played in Russia during the 2012-13 NHL lockout.
