Edmonton – winning gives the luxury of time.
Evander Kane Hat Trick during the playoffs two years ago.
While time has not always been on the Edmonton Oilers“On the side, it’s now. THE Oilers are not in disastrous straight lines by any section.
The need for offensive reinforcements is minimal. When you look at the situation as a whole, each piece is important and the decision -makers should have all the information they need before making a decision.
This is why this is excellent news that Evander Kane recoveries his injury.
Evander Kane began to skate. He has patinated in the last two days and around 60%, because he will need time to get back at speed. He hasn’t played since June and hasn’t really patinated. #Oilers

The Hockey News – The former defender of the Oilers leaves the NHL Edmonton – Bottom but not out.
Starting skating is a very good thing – but that does not mean that it will be ready to play anytime soon. I imagine that he will probably need a solid month of skating before any consideration is made to put it in a game.
Would Kane accept a loan conditioned in Bakersfield? Given his competitive nature, I imagine that he prefers to be thrown into the NHL gameplay fires rather than supporting the perceived hoopla of an AHL packaging.
In one way or another, the oilers need to see Kane play. If he can play 90% of what the team knows he is capable, he will be a welcome addition. Otherwise, the Oilers will have to make decisions about what will be their future with the team.
Fortunately for the Oilers, they still have time to sort it all.
