The NHL announced on Thursday it had concluded an investigation into free agent forward Evander Kane and the circumstances around which he traveled across the U.S.-Canada border during the holiday period, clearing the way for Kane to sign with an NHL team.
The San Jose Sharks terminated Kane's contract after he cleared waivers earlier this month, saying it was for a breach of his contract and for violating COVID-19 protocols.
ESPN's Kevin Weekes confirmed Kane had reached a verbal agreement with the Edmonton Oilers on a one-year deal, worth approximately $1 million and a pro-rated cap hit of approximately $2 million.
