Kane (hip), as expected, is set to have surgery as confirmed by general manager Stan Bowman, per Bob Stauffer of the Oilers Radio Network on Wednesday.
Kane was previously reported to be heading under the knife before the end of September, and it seems that timeline remains intact. Until the procedure happens, it's hard to know how long Kane will be on the shelf, but fantasy managers can almost certainly anticipate he'll be out of action until at least November at a minimum. As a result, Kane should land on LTIR once the season kicks off.
