And as he’s 35, per MLive’s Ansar Khan…
No confirmation from the team yet or any word on the value of the deal, but it is likely to include performance incentives.
Kane, 35, was an ideal fit with the team, tallying 20 goals and 47 points in 50 games after signing in late November for the remainder of the season for a prorated $2.75 million. He stepped up in key moments and scored three overtime goals.
Update: The Associated Press confirms, as does the New York Post’s Larry Brooks…
Confirmed Kane remaining in Detroit.
