Doesn't sound like he'll be back in Edmonton.  He's looking for a 40-50M contract per Seravalli.

With 48 hours until the opening of free agency on Wednesday, the Edmonton Oilers and forward Evander Kane remain far apart on a contract extension to keep him in Oil Country. Sources tell Daily Faceoff that the Kane camp, led by agent Dan Milstein of Gold Star Hockey, and the Oilers met on Sunday and made little progress in talks, which have been ongoing since Edmonton bowed out of the Western Conference final in May.

 

Kane’s camp is steadfast in their belief he can earn in the range of $40 to $50 million on the market this week in a new pact elsewhere on the market. The Oilers, meanwhile, do not appear willing to sign Kane to a long-term contract. It’s believed the Oilers have presented a series of a creative shorter-term options, recognizing he may be the best stylistic match available to skate on a line with Connor McDavid as a true finisher with size and an edge to his game. But there is a limit to their interest.

 

Well, who can blame him... he needs to replenish his gambling funds :ph34r:

Yeah if he's been having money trouble this is the perfect opportunity to get out of it. So I don't think we'll see a hometown sweetheart deal.

Holland with the biggest lowball of all time! :lol:

That's an overpayment for that piece of trash.  Just because Edmonton is so full of scumbags that he fits in with their classless group doesn't negate him being a cancer in the room.  The pattern is that he manages to behave himself a year or so on each team before his BS starts.  I know the Oilers don't care about character, as shown by giving McDiver the C, but they need to turn their franchise around and bring in some players who aren't a complete disgrace to the sport.
