Patrick Kane responds to signing Detroit Red Wings extension on social media

Three-time Stanley Cup champion Patrick Kane is remaining in Motor City after finalizing a one-year extension with the Detroit Red Wings, as announced by the club on Sunday.

Pierre LeBrun from the Athletic reported that Patrick Kane's contract consists of a $4 million base salary supplemented by an additional $2.5 million in bonuses. Kane took to social media to express his excitement about signing the Red Wings deal.

"Pumped up to be back for another one! Big year ahead! #LGRW," Kane wrote.

Kane, drafted first overall by the Chicago Blackhawks in the 2007 NHL draft, played for 16 seasons with the Hawks. In February last year, the 34-year-old veteran was dealt by the Hawks to the New York Rangers.

Following a brief stint of 19 games with the Blueshirts, Kane underwent hip surgery during the offseason. He then joined the Detroit Red Wings by signing a one-year, $2.75 million contract in November.
