Patrick Kane is Headed Back to Detroit

After putting up 20 goals and 27 assists in 50 regular-season games after his return from a hip resurfacing procedure, Patrick Kane was headed to unrestricted free agency with a relatively clean bill of health for the first time in his life.

Well, he was.

Kaner will run it back in Detroit. Kane signed another one-year deal with the Red Wings for the 2024-25 season. The deal has a $4M cap hit with another $2.5M in bonuses possible.
