In a segment of Saturday Headlines on Hockey Night in Canada, Friedman stated,
"We might get an early-week hint about Kane's inclinations and his final decision. Although there's a strong speculation about Florida, Detroit has emerged as a significant contender in his considerations."
Friedman, however, urged caution in making definitive statements, acknowledging Kane's preference for privacy and noting that a few teams remain in contention.
Previously, Friedman touched on discussions between the Toronto Maple Leafs and Kane, but cast doubt on the likelihood of this pairing.
"The prospect of Kane joining the Maple Leafs seems slim, despite their interest in holding discussions with him. We should see Kane's decision unfold in the next few days."
At 34, Kane, who was initially drafted first overall by the Chicago Blackhawks in 2007, was traded last season to the New York Rangers. During his tenure with both teams, he scored 21 goals and totaled 57 points.
Potential Surprise Destination for Patrick Kane
The New York Islanders are emerging as a surprise contender for Kane, with General Manager Lou Lamoriello reportedly pursuing him actively. Kane's addition could fill a crucial gap for the Islanders.
