Oilers’ Evander Kane reportedly set for surgery that could leave him out multiple months
A delay in finding a doctor to perform surgery on Evander Kane has caused a delay in the Oilers forward going under the knife this offseason, according to Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman.
I believe Evander Kane is going to have surgery. I think that one of the reasons it has taken until this long was because I think there was some conversations about who was going to do it, which doctor, and I think they had to work that out. And I think secondly, I also believe that sometimes in the summer, doctors schedules, they take vacations like everyone else, and I think that also kind of affected it. They had to decide who was going to do it, and when was this doctor available.I believe that decision has been made, eventually, he will have the surgery, and he’s going to be out months. I’m not talking one or two months, I’m thinking it’s going to be longer than that.
