Value of: Patrick Kane at the trade deadline
- Thread starter SotasicA
- Start date
I'd start with nylander+1st+sandin; if there is retention, 2 1sts; nylander, Sandin, and grundstrom.

Clutterbuck and Leddy together add up to nearly Kane. We have Toews (our Toews) ready to come up to the lineup on defense and Dobson probably on the way next year. A glaring need for us is someone besides Barzal to drive offense and Kane can do that paired with Bailey and Nelson or Eberle and Nelson. Kane also takes a lot of pressure off Barzal as you now have to choose whether Barzal's line or Kane's gets the top defense pairing and top defensive center matchup. Eberle likely comes off the books next year, freeing up another $6 million and Bellows should be ready to try to fill the Top 6 spot, along with Ho-Sang.
This trade would also allow Beauvillier to be a 3rd line center where he could thrive.
Many isles posters want to pursue Panarin as a UFA so why not fill it now? It's the same type of player, albeit younger. I don't see Kane falling off for a number of years to come since he is such a unique player and so difficult to control by a defense.

The OP not knowing Kane didn't commit or have any part in a sexual assault is humoring. The girl lied, her mom tried to plant evidence and got caught. So it doesn't really matter if a team had accepted a sexual assaulter or not. SMH
Chicago retains 1.5 to 1.8 (Kane at 8.7 is silly) and takes the 2nd offer. ... Toronto instantly becomes cup favorites.
Anyone who doesn’t know this already doesn’t want to know it. It’s not even worth defending when it comes up.
Aren’t they already?
Kane at 1m more than nylander on Matthews line is drool worthy. Easily pay a steep price for that kind of talent.
Works for me. Giving up a late 1st is not the end of the world. Kylington helps the loss of Valimaki. Lindholm is tough to let go but his replacement is Kane and I think Frolik will be moved this offseason anyhow. Gaudreau+Kane=Unstoppable.

Certainly something I would not mind seeing. Even if they will be wearing the wrong jersey.
I think the bigger problem with the Isles proposal is that there's not enough value for the Hawks. Salary you can shed, but why do the Hawks do this again?
"Know" is a loaded word. I KNOW Kane didn't do it... as much as a sane person can know something he doesn't really have first hand knowledge of. But for some, it's not enough. The only people who REALLY KNOW what happened are Pat and XXXX. In other words: you can't reason with crazy.
Good value. I love Reinhart. Nylander is the type of redemption project Stan Bowman loves. The Hawks do need a 1st, even if it's probably not a high one (it's weird, but the Sabres are actually good nowadays). Kane would not reject a trade to the Sabres: a definite plus, and I could see that as a favour Stan would do to him for all the Cups he won with Chicago.
Also good value. I like it. But we may have an extra hurdle because it's a division rival. The best scenario is that Bowman trades Kane to Nashville for a good value package like this, and then Kane comes back to haunt Chicago 8 times a year, causing Bowman to get fired. Signifying the new age of Blackhawks hockey, and it would include Fiala, Tolvanen and whoever gets picked with that draft choice.
I am in. Both seem fair. Hawks can eat up salary, so rather the second option!
