Buzz has picked up as of late that it is just a matter of time before Kane's days in Chicago are numbered, as his agent stated Kane is waiting to see how the start of the season goes before pursuing his trade request he currently holds. Three teams have kicked tires over the phone with Hawks general manager Kyle Davidson, those three being the Edmonton Oilers, Toronto Maple Leafs and the newly added into the conversation Columbus Blue Jackets who are reportedly taking a ''large shot'' at Kane.
One of the very few takes on a Kane trade come from former NHL goon and host of the most famous hockey podcast, Paul Bissonette ''Biz Nasty''.
"If you don't think Kyle Dubas is going to work his magic and get Patrick Kane over to the Toronto Maple Leafs you're out of your f***ing mind," said Bissonette during his most recent podcast.
Bissonette also said:
"You're gonna see one of the greatest (Kane), if not right now as it stands, the greatest U.S. hockey player to ever play the game pass the torch over to Auston Matthews in his final couple seasons."
Bissonnette's co host disagreed, stating that Kane would remain in the United States and instead would join his hometown Buffalo Sabres.
"I already said he's going to Buffalo, he's going back home," said Ryan Whitney with confidence. "The Buffalo Sabres are going to celebrate a Stanley Cup Championship with Patrick Kane, after the Buffalo Bills celebrate a superbowl championship with Josh Allen."
Co-host Ryan Whitney was then asked who would win a Stanley Cup first between the Buffalo Sabres and the Toronto Maple Leafs. He was incredulous in his response.
"The Sabres!" screeched Whitney. "Are you kidding me? The Sabres! Are you kidding me? The Leafs will never win a Cup!"
