The Vancouver Canucks and Evander Kane are headed for a breakup, but will it happen before the trade deadline?<\/p>\n
The East Vancouver native hasn\u2019t been a good fit with his hometown team, scoring just 24 points (9-15-24) in 51 games. With the Canucks now sitting dead-last in the NHL standings and on pace for one of the worst seasons in franchise history<\/a>, management would clearly like to offload the 34-year-old power forward.<\/p>\n Easier said than done, given Kane is in the last year of a contract paying him $5.125 million, which helps explain a Monday evening report from CHEK\u2019s Rick Dhaliwal.<\/p>\n Evander Kane’s agent Dan Milstein has been given permission to help facilitate a trade for his client.#Canucks<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Rick Dhaliwal (@DhaliwalSports) January 27, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n Kane\u2019s agent, Dan Milstein, has permission to help \u201cfacilitate\u201d a trade, Dhaliwal reports.<\/p>\n Will Milstein be speaking to the Colorado Avalanche or Dallas Stars, who Kevin Weekes ESPN\u2019s said had interest in Kane<\/a>?<\/p>\n Kane is not far removed from productive seasons with the Edmonton Oilers, scoring 24 goals just two years ago.

If not, he might be spending the rest of the season in Vancouver.<\/p>\n You might also like:What Canucks’ draft lottery odds will be if they finish dead-last<\/a>Sounds like Canucks winger Boeser may have a concussion<\/a>
