Most likely the latter. Apparently Kane wants to come back before the playoffs because he wants to get up to speed before they start, but the Oilers can’t fit his salary under the cap if he does come back before the season ends. So they either have to trade him or make room somewhere else. But if they don’t trade him, they also won’t have any room to add anyone at the deadline without moving salary out.
