The Chicago Blackhawks dilemma with Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews is going to last all season long. They are going to be one of the worst teas in the league with two 10-plus million-dollar players on the roster.
Of course, saying that they have won a lot with both in the past would be an understatement but that isn’t helping them in the year 2022.
With one year left on the deal, it is time to move on if they can find a way. It will be much easier to move Kane to a contending team because he is still elite.
One of the teams connected with Kane the most since all of these rumors have started is the New York Rangers. If he were to be traded there, a return might look something like this:
Blackhawks Get
Alexis Lafreniere
2023 First-Round Pick
The Chicago Blackhawks could get some nice assets in return for Patrick Kane.
The Chicago Blackhawks and New York Rangers could make a lot of different moves surrounding Patrick Kane. The Rangers would have to give up a lot but with how close they came in 2021-22, they just might consider it.
Alexis Lafreniere was the number one overall pick in 2020 and had a lot of hype surrounding him. S far, however, he has not truly lived up to the hype. He is also in a tough spot because of how low he is on the New York Rangers depth chart.
If he came to a team like the Chicago Blackhawks, he would get top-six minutes and a legit opportunity to grow his game. Between that and a first-round pick, this would be an example of the Hawks getting what Kane is worth.
Some Rangers fans might not like a deal like this but that is what it takes for an elite scorer like Kane to join a team that was so close to reaching the Stanley Cup Final in 2022.
Lafreniere hasn’t been good enough to consider him untouchable either. If he were better, the Rangers might have won. If they had Kane instead, things would certainly be better for them.
