Patrick Kane signs one-year deal with Red Wings, closing in on all-time NHL record

After signing a one-year extension with the Red Wings, the 35-year-old winger is poised to become the highest-scoring U.S. -born player in NHL history. Patrick Kane eyes major NHL records in historic 2025 season with Red Wings Kane enters the 2025-26 NHL season with 1,343 career points, just 32 shy of Mike Modano's record of 1,374. Surpassing Modano would solidify Kane's place as the most productive American player in NHL history—a milestone with deep Detroit connections, as Modano himself ended his career with the Red Wings in 2010-11. Ironically, Modano's final season was marred by injury, while Kane's second year in Detroit could end with his name etched in the record books. Not only is the all-time points mark in reach, but Kane is also just eight goals away from the coveted 500-goal milestone. If he hits both achievements, he'll join an elite group of NHL legends and further cement his legacy. Kane, DeBrincat, and McLellan form Red Wings' new core ahead of crucial 2025-26 season Kane's decision to return to Detroit was influenced by multiple factors, including a strong personal and professional bond with teammate Alex DeBrincat. The two former Chicago Blackhawks reunited in Detroit last season, bringing instant chemistry and leadership to a young Red Wings core. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Luxury Awaits at Paras Floret | Paras Sector 59 Gurgaon Paras The Florett Book Now Undo Kane has praised the organization, expressing gratitude to GM Steve Yzerman for taking a chance on him post-surgery and for helping him feel truly at home in Hockeytown. Last season began with uncertainty for Kane, but that changed with the arrival of head coach Todd McLellan in late December. Kane's performance surged, and his line with DeBrincat and rookie center Marco Kasper showed promising flashes of brilliance. That trio is expected to play a key role in the Red Wings' 2025-26 campaign.

Patrick Kane and James van Riemsdyk have finally become NHL teammates, 18 years after going 1–2

It only took 18 years, but the 's class of 2007 just got a reunion nobody saw coming and it's happening in Detroit. The Red Wings just signed James van Riemsdyk to a one-year deal, bringing him alongside Patrick Kane, the No. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now 1 overall pick from that same draft year. For the first time in their careers, the top two picks of 2007 are wearing the same jersey. And honestly? It feels like a full-circle moment for hockey fans everywhere. Patrick Kane and JVR were always linked but never teammates, until now Back in 2007, Patrick Kane was drafted first overall by the Chicago Blackhawks, followed by James van Riemsdyk at No. 2 to the Philadelphia Flyers. Both went on to have long, successful NHL careers. Kane became a three-time Stanley Cup champ and one of the most electric American players of his generation, while JVR earned a reputation as a consistent top-six power forward and net-front scorer. Despite crossing paths on Team USA at the World Juniors, Olympics, and World Cup, they never suited up for the same NHL squad, until now. Detroit pulls a smart nostalgia move (and doesn't overpay for it) Patrick Kane, 36, re-signed with the Red Wings on July 1 for a one-year, $3 million deal. Aday later, JVR joined the roster with his own one-year contract, reportedly worth just over $1 million. It's low-risk, veteran firepower, exactly the kind of savvy, budget-friendly move a rebuilding team needs to stay competitive and teach the next generation. What this means for the Red Wings Detroit's youth movement has been impressive, but it's clear GM Steve Yzerman isn't done building bridges between past experience and future promise. With veterans like Kane and now van Riemsdyk in the locker room, younger talents like Lucas Raymond, Simon Edvinsson, and Marco Kasper have serious mentorship potential right in front of them. And let's be honest, this duo brings serious nostalgia to the table, especially for fans who remember their 2007 breakout seasons. Also read -
