In a move that has stunned hockey analysts and ignited celebration among fans, the Edmonton Oilers have confirmed that Evander Kane has signed a staggering new three-year contract extension worth $120 million—a blockbuster deal that positions Kane as one of the highest-paid forwards in NHL history.
The announcement was made early Monday morning by Oilers General Manager Ken Holland, who emphasized Kane’s critical role in the team’s recent success and future aspirations. “Evander has proven time and again that he’s a game-changer,” Holland said. “He brings toughness, skill, and a relentless drive to win.”
Kane, 32, has been a force on the ice since joining the Oilers, consistently contributing in goals, assists, and gritty two-way play that has made him a fan favorite and locker room leader. During the past two seasons, he’s averaged nearly a point per game in the playoffs, and his chemistry with Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl has made Edmonton’s top lines nearly unstoppable.
“I’m grateful for the belief this organization has shown in me,” Kane said. “There’s nowhere else I’d rather chase the Cup.”
The $120 million figure—unprecedented for a player of Kane’s age—includes performance bonuses, full trade protection, and community engagement clauses. As the Oilers continue building a dynasty, locking in Evander Kane sends a loud message: Edmonton is all-in on winning now.
