Oilers trade Evander Kane to Canadian rival in key decision after Stanley Cup controversy

  • On June 25, 2025, the Edmonton Oilers sent winger Evander Kane to Vancouver in return for a fourth-round selection in the 2025 NHL Draft.
  • The trade followed Kane missing the entire 2024-25 regular season due to injuries and his rough ending with Edmonton after two Stanley Cup final losses.
  • Kane, a 33-year-old B.C. native with 326 NHL goals over 15 seasons, expressed gratitude to Edmonton and excitement to return home and join the Canucks.
  • Canucks GM Patrik Allvin noted the team did due diligence on Kane, praising his playoff experience and off-ice contributions while expecting him to make Vancouver harder to play against.
  • The trade clears Kane’s $5.125 million cap hit from Edmonton, giving both teams roster flexibility and intensifying their on-ice rivalry going forward.
