Kane Working Out Long-Term Deal

Contrary to popular beleif, including mine when I stated I didn't believe Evander Kane wanted to remain a Winnipeg Jet heading inyto the 2012-13 NHL season due to his non-commital responses when asked by the Winnipeg media if he indeed wanted to sign a long-term contract, as other future free agents on the Jets roster said they did; Kane and his agent are apparently in negotiations with Jets General Manager Kevin Cheveldayoff to work out a long-term deal reportedly for six years at a price allegedly dictated by signings such as the Islanders' John Tavares and the Maple Leafs' Phil Kessel in the range of between $27 million and $33 million.
