Evander Kane signs with HC Sibir in KHL

NHL veteran Evander Kane has signed a one-year contract with HC Sibir Novosibirsk of the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL). The 35-year-old forward will play in Russia for the remainder of the current season.

Kane's agent, Dan Milstein, previously indicated that while there were inquiries from NHL teams during free agency, no substantial offers were made, leading the player to pursue opportunities in Russia. This move follows a season with the Vancouver Canucks, where Kane recorded 13 goals and 31 points in 71 games.

Over a 16-season NHL career, Kane played for several organizations, including the Atlanta Thrashers, Winnipeg Jets, Buffalo Sabres, San Jose Sharks, Edmonton Oilers, and Vancouver Canucks. He recorded 339 goals and 648 points across 1,001 regular-season games.
