Trade grades: Canucks bail out division rival in Evander Kane trade

Date:


Evander Kane, a power forward who brings an element of chaos and spice both on-ice and off it, will depart Edmonton after four seasons in which the Oilers came staggeringly close to the grand prize twice. 

The Oilers traded the 6-foot-2-inch bruiser Wednesday to play for his favorite team in childhood — his hometown Vancouver Canucks — in return for a fourth-round selection (No. 117) on Saturday’s second day of the NHL Draft.

Kane’s addition to Edmonton — controversial at the time — added an element around the net that the Oilers had been missing further down the lineup. He scored at a rate of 31.6 goals per 82 games. 

He missed the entire regular season in 2024-25, rehabbing from surgery following two torn hip adductor muscles, two hernias and two torn lower abdominal muscles. He had a separate surgery to clean up one of his knees in January.
