Evander Kane is continuing his career in Russia.
The 35-year-old forward signed a one-year deal with the KHL’s Novosibirsk Sibir on Tuesday, heading overseas after 16 NHL seasons.
Kane went unsigned on the open market as an unrestricted free agent this summer after posting 13 goals and 31 points in 71 games with the Vancouver Canucks last season. He racked up 92 penalty minutes in Vancouver, his highest total since 2019-20, when he was with the San Jose Sharks.
Kane was acquired by the Canucks in June of 2025 from the Edmonton Oilers in exchange for a draft pick. He missed the entire 2024-25 regular season, but returned to post six goals and 12 points in 21 playoff games.
The 6-foot-2 winger is coming off a four-year, $20.5 million contract that carried a cap hit of $5.125 million.
Drafted fourth overall by the Atlanta Thrashers in 2009, Kane has 339 goals and 648 points in 1,001 career games split between the Thrashers, Winnipeg Jets, Bufalo Sabres, Sharks, Oilers, and Canucks.
