Dreger: Evander Kane trade talks are 'heating up'

The Buffalo Sabres are expected to move Evander Kane before the Feb. 26 NHL trade deadline.

The 26-year-old left wing is due to become an unrestricted free agent in July and could seek a significant raise over his current $5.25 million annual average salary.

Last week, TSN's Pierre LeBrun reported Sabres general manager Jason Botterill was seeking a first-round draft pick, a prospect and a conditional pick. On Tuesday, TSN's Darren Dreger said there are teams claiming Botterill also wants an NHL roster player included. Then, on Friday, Dreger reported the trade talks over Kane were "heating up."

In 45 appearances in 2017-18, the Vancouver, BC native has recorded 16 goals and 20 assists (36 points) with a plus-minus of minus-10 and 34 penalty minutes.
