The Vancouver Canucks have acquired forward Evander Kane from the Edmonton Oilers in exchange for a 2025 fourth-round pick.

The fourth-round pick initially belonged to the Ottawa Senators, who transferred it to Edmonton on July 15, 2024, before Vancouver acquired it from the Oilers on August 18, 2024.

“Evander is a physical power forward who will add some much-needed size and toughness to our group,” said Canucks GM Patrik Allvin. “We like the way he wins puck battles along the boards and handles himself in the dirty areas in front of the net. Evander moves well around the ice and has proven to be a productive goal scorer in the National Hockey League. We are excited to bring him back home to Vancouver and our staff looks forward to working with him this coming season.”

Kane, 33, appeared in 21 playoff games for the Oilers this past season, registering six goals and six assists for 12 points and 44 penalty minutes after missing the regular-season recovering from an injury.

A Vancouver native, Kane has played in 930 career regular-season games, split between the Atlanta Thrashers, Winnipeg Jets, Buffalo Sabres, San Jose Sharks, and Oilers, collecting 326 goals and 291 assists for 617 points and 1,186 penalty minutes.

Kane was originally selected fourth-overall by the Thrashers in the 2009 NHL Entry Draft.
