As Patrick Kane progresses significantly in his post-hip surgery recovery, all eyes are now on which team he will join this season.

Two teams from Canada seem like plausible options for Kane as he's on the hunt for another Stanley Cup.

Option 1: The Maple Leafs

The Leafs are at the top of the list. Earlier in the summer, they appeared as a prime landing spot for Kane. Boasting a roster filled with remarkable talent, they'll probably be among the top contenders for the Stanley Cup in the upcoming season.

However, with Brad Treliving steering the ship for the Leafs, there has been a shift in strategy, with the team becoming bigger and more aggressive. Given the rise of Matthew Knies and the inclusion of Tyler Bertuzzi and Max Domi, it's unlikely Kane would break into the Leafs' top six.

Pairing Matthews with Kane would undoubtedly be a treat for hockey fans , but it seems improbable.

Option 2: The Oilers

Next up are the Edmonton Oilers. They don't have a lot of money available, so a cheap contract would be essential to welcome Patrick Kane to Edmonton. Maybe something similar to Connor Brown's contract.

For those unaware, Brown's cap hit stands at a mere $775k. However, he can earn up to $4 million from performance bonuses, which the team is obligated to fulfill only when the player achieves the set targets.

For several seasons now, the Oilers have leaned heavily on Leon Draisaitl and Connor McDavid. While the Oilers do have depth in scorers like Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Evander Kane, consistency isn't always their strong suit.
