The Chicago Blackhawks might see a familiar face on their roster as discussions about bringing back Patrick Kane heat up.

Kane, who was once loved by fans at the United Center, had left the Blackhawks for the New York Rangers before moving to the Detroit Red Wings.

Chicago Blackhawks journalist Scott Powers, affiliated with TheAthletic, suggests that the team's management is seriously considering re-signing the veteran winger.

"A few weeks ago, I was sure they wouldn't bring him back. But now, things seem to be shifting, and there's real talk about bringing Kane back home,"

Powers reported.

Kane is chasing personal milestones that could cement his legacy further with the Blackhawks. He's eyeing Stan Mikita's franchise points record and also hopes to surpass Mike Modano as the top U.S.-born player in points.

"Kane loves Chicago. If the team makes an offer, I'm confident he'd be thrilled to return,"

Powers added.

After finishing a one-year contract with the Red Wings worth $2.75 million, Kane is poised to enter free agency. His potential return could not only boost the Blackhawks' lineup but also pair him with rising star Connor Bedard for the 2024-25 NHL season, creating an exciting prospect for fans.
