According to the search results, Patrick Kane underwent hip resurfacing surgery on June 1, 2023, and was expected to miss four to six months. He had been dealing with a nagging hip injury that hampered him over the past year with the Chicago Blackhawks and then down the stretch and in the playoffs with the New York Rangers. Kane is an unrestricted free agent and was advised by many before the trade deadline to get the surgery that he needed to mend that hip. However, he decided to continue to push through it in order to join the Rangers, a presumed Stanley Cup contender and his preferred trade destination. Kane will not face charges after being investigated for sexual assault.
