Report: Sabres trade Kane to Sharks for conditional 1st-rounder, prospect

The Buffalo Sabres have shipped winger Evander Kane to the San Jose Sharks, reports TSN's Bob McKenzie.

The return package heading Buffalo's way apparently includes a conditional 2019 first-round pick, a fourth-round pick in 2020, and forward prospect Dan O'Regan, according to Pierre LeBrun of TSN.

Here's the condition of the first-round 2019 pick in the Evander Kane deal: if the Sharks re-sign Kane, it's a first; but if Kane walks into free agency, it's a second-round pick in 2019

O'Regan, 24, played 19 games with the Sharks this season, notching four assists. In 31 AHL contests in 2017-18, he recorded 25 points. He's also familiar with superstar Jack Eichel, as the two were teammates at Boston University, notes Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News.

As a pending unrestricted free agent, Kane was one of the top targets on this year's trade board. The deal does not include a contract extension, however, McKenzie reports.

In 61 games this season, Kane has 40 points.
