Patrick Kane's announcement that he signed in Detroit came to little shock, as Detroit was one of the leading candidates for Kane's next home since the jump. Among other teams in the mix for Kane were the Sabres, Toronto Maple Leafs and the Florida Panthers.
However, Kane recently revealed how he had hoped that the Chicago Blackhawks would be in the mix, given their first overall pick and their interest in bringing back veterans to help with Bedard.
Obviously, this would have been a heartwarming reunion, as Patrick Kane will be the face of the Blackhawks organization for some time, leading them to multiple Stanley Cups.
Even Connor Bedard thinks it is weird seeing Kane in another jersey other than Chicago, as he noted in an interview after Kane's announcement.
Kane will make his reunion with the Blackhawks and meet Bedard on the ice for the first time on February 25th, when the Blackhawks take on the Red Wings.
