Detroit Red Wings Patrick Kane on the trade block according to reporter
While we're only a few weeks into the NHL regular season, trade talks never seem to die down.
Joe Yerdon of the Bleacher Report has speculated that three veteran NHL wingers could end up on the trade block soon.
One of them is former Blackhawk, and Stanley Cup champion, Patrick Kane who was thought to be part of the Yzerplan.
Kane recently signed a 1-year deal with the Detroit Red Wings, with a $4.0 Million AAV cap hit.
And Kane is scoring depth that any contending team needs if they want to make a deep push into the postseason.
Is this how Patrick Kane returns to New York?
Now that Kane's health isn't in question, and after an impressive season in 2023-2024, which saw him post 47 points in 51 games, he could be a sought-after rental come the trade deadline.
It looks as if the Red Wings will once again be nixed from playoff competition, are 3-3-0, and haven't looked like a team that could defeat someone like the New York Rangers, Dallas Stars, or even the Utah Hockey Club.
Much like we thought, Yerdon believes that a contender will want to hire him for his multi-position capabilities, and scoring touch.
Remember Kane opted to play in Detroit after living there during his childhood.
Could tradition be thrown out in favor of winning a Stanley Cup? I could see it happening, especially if it's somewhere like New York or Toronto.
