At this point, Buffalo had three voting rights for the first round of drafts , with the Jets receiving the lowest voting rights. Following the move, Kane underwent shoulder surgery and was out the rest of the season. In the 2015/16 season , his first complete in the Sabers jersey, the attacker scored 35 points in 65 games. Still, the winger never really felt at home in Buffalo.

When his contract expired at the end of the 2017/18 season, Kane was handed over to the San Jose Sharks by the trade deadline in February 2018 . In return, the Sabers received Daniel O'Regan , a conditional right to vote in the first round of the NHL Entry Draft 2019 and a conditional right to vote in the fourth round of the NHL Entry Draft 2020 . The first round should be converted into a second round suffrage, unless Kane signs a new contract in San Jose by July 2018. However, this subsequently did not occur, as both parties agreed on a new seven-year contract in May 2018, which should bring Kane an average annual salary of seven million US dollars.
