According to the latest report from Elliotte Friedman, there's a very good chance that Kane will end up with the Colorado Avalanche, just over a season removed from another Stanley Cup victory.
"I think Colorado has been kind of around there, thinking about the possibility and they could use another forward there is no question about that I know people have wondered about DET, I know people have wondered about BUF, the Rangers" Friedman said.
He added, "I know Toronto has been mentioned, the way Toronto is playing right now, if Kane is basing this one where he thinks he could win, and he is, I'm just not sure that makes any sense"

Plenty of teams chasing the three-time Cup Champion
This doesn't mean everyone else is out on him however, as he remained a productive player last season with all of his big game experience, but it's a great sign for Colorado.
Friedman's comments also seemed to imply that the start of the year will have a major influence on his decision, and if that's the case, Edmonton and Toronto may not be looking so appealing, but with their 8-3-0 start to the year, the Avalanche make more and more sense.
