welcome back everyone my name is Patrick you're watching the Oilers rundown in today's video I want to talk about Evander Kane Brett kulak Cody CeCe the latest rumors surrounding them of Vander Kane's future is he being traded is he going in ltir what's happening with Kane in today's video we're going to go over all the latest so basically I didn't get to go over much of what happened last week with him but the reports from Jeff Jackson Bob staer Jason Gregor basically all revolved around the fact that Evander Kee was dealing with the sports hernia as we know and may or may not require hip surgery later this summer the surgery if it did happen would potentially happen in late August putting Keane on ltir to start the year but apparently the surgery isn't a must and the two mons podcast had this report late yesterday that gives us the latest on a Vander Kee based on reports we've gotten over the last 48 hours Edmonton Oilers forward a Vander Kee should be fully recovered and healthy by September when training camp opens up Kee has been able to do some activities he's been golfing with his friends living life as he should be he's also built a new home in Edmonton and the community has treated him very well as he's also treated the community well in return it's been a great fit for both sides he wants to be a part of this winning culture he's been adding to to it since he got to Edmonton Kane's health is the most serious thing here it sounds like it's been getting better for Kane which is a huge positive with Kane and the Oilers lineup they look like they can't be matched by any other team in the NHL this is all great news for Evander Kane healthwise but it does create problems for the Evanson Oilers if Evander Keane will not be on ltir or not traded going back to the draft there is lots of rumors surrounding Evander Kane and that he was potentially going to be asked to move as no trade clause but apparently no official request was ever made Insider Dave pegoda of the fourth period reported on hello hockey yesterday on Emon Sports Talk that the Oilers would like to move of Vander Kee but given Kane's Health uncertainty he doesn't see anyone willing to take him on as two Ms noted in their report a Vander Kane is building a new home in Edmonton the Oilers are winning he doesn't want to go anywhere and why would he if Kane can get back to 100% healthwise the Oilers are a better team with him on the roster there's no doubt of that so how can they do that and still be Capt compliant David pagota also reported yesterday that the ERS are looking for a number four or number five D Man and that Cody Cece and Brett kulak's names are both in play to try and figure this all out I threw this roster together on cap friendly with this roster the Oilers are only 954 th000 away from being cap compliant and that's with all of Kane CC and kulac on the roster I estimated Dylan Holloway and Philip brober both signing one-year deals at 1.25 million each it should be somewhere close to that for both of them so it's doable if one of kolac or CC are moved and replaced with someone roughly $1 million cheaper the oiler should be able to run at least a 21-man roster so you can certainly see why the avander Kee rumors are out there the Oilers are very tight cap wise with the new additions Jeff Skinner and Victor arvitson there doesn't seem to be a clear roster spot for a Vander Kee but as I said if you can have a Vander Kean in your lineup the Oilers are definitely better if they can find a way to keep him I'd certainly be happy with that but they do have to make other moves to get cap compliant if a Vander Kane is sticking around one of Brett kulak or Cody CCE will definitely have to go possibly even both it would be my preference to keep Brett kulak but we'll see what happens here if Jeff Jackson is looking for another number four or number five dman definitely one of those guys has to go to make room for him obviously it wouldn't be someone with a very high cap hit the Oilers struggling to make this all work as it is but we'll see what happens here Jeff Jackson has been on an absolute tear this summer I'm excited to see what he has in store next for the Evon Oilers he clearly isn't done so I think the general manager position being filled will be the next move here for the Edmonton Oilers but who knows Jeff Jackson may have one more trick up his sleeve before he hands off the Reigns but a Vander Kee Brett kulak Cody C will remain in the rumor mill here for the next little while until it's all figured out let me know your thoughts on Kane kolak and CC who stays who goes what do you guys think let me know your thoughts in the comments section below if this is your first visit to the channel and you like what you see please consider liking and subscribing for all the latest Oilers content you've been watching the Oilers fanatic thanks for being a fan [Music]
