Trade Talks are Ramping Up Around Patrick Kane
Per David Pagnotta, trade talks around Patrick Kane are picking up recently. Not long ago, Patrick Kane indicated that he would take more of a wait & see approach, but it seems that's changed.
As Pagnotta notes, the Dallas Stars are suspected to be involved. Kane, 33, still plays at an elite level & would absolutely help a Stanley Cup contender. So why Dallas would be in play is beyond me. No state tax, I guess.
Whoever lands Kane will likely get a solid deal for him. Chicago has run their team into the ground, and Kane & Jonathan Toews both seem unhappy. The two disgruntled stars make a combined $21 million/season, and it is unlikely that two teams competing for a Stanley Cup would have an extra $10 million lying around.
With Dallas rumored to be interested, some other teams to watch out for are the New York Rangers, the Detroit Red Wings, the Colorado Avalanche, & possibly even the New Jersey Devils. This doesn't mean he definitely moves soon, but if he is it would fit right into an already crazy offseason. Stay tuned.
