The Oilers announced the team agreed to trade left wing Evander Kane to the Vancouver Canucks for a 2025 fourth-round pick. With the move, Edmonton cleared Kane's entire $5.125 million cap hit for 2025-26.

Evander Kane says he has been traded from the Edmonton Oilers to the Vancouver Canucks. Kane posted a lengthy message on social media thanking the Oilers and saying he was looking forward to the next chapter of his NHL career in his hometown in British Columbia.

Kane, who will turn 34 in August, has one year and $5.125 million remaining on his current contract. After missing the regular season due to injury, Kane scored six goals in 21 playoff games during Edmonton's run to a second straight Stanley Cup Final.
