Patrick Kane Reveals Mutual Interest in Red Wings Contract Extension Ahead of NHL FA

Patrick Kane said that there is mutual interest between him and the Detroit Red Wings ahead of NHL free agency, per Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press.

The 36-year-old Kane posted 21 goals and 38 assists for 59 points in 2024-25, his second season with Detroit.

Last offseason, Kane signed a one-year, $4 million contract extension to remain in Detroit. He had previously inked a one-year, $2.75 million deal with Detroit in November 2023 after recovering from hip resurfacing surgery in June of that year.

The three-time Stanley Cup winner and nine-time All-Star has played 18 NHL seasons, mostly with the Chicago Blackhawks. He spent 15-plus years in the Windy City before being traded to the New York Rangers during the 2022-23 campaign. He's now spent two years with Detroit, with the possibility of more time on the Red Wings.

For his career, Kane has posted 1,343 points (492 goals, 851 assists) while adding 53 goals and 85 assists for 138 playoff points.

Given his production since coming back from injury, it wouldn't be a surprise to see Kane and Detroit reach a deal here, although it's also possible another team makes a good offer, given his 2024-25 success.
