When the superstar was first rumored to be on the Blackhawks chop block back in August, several teams were identified as possible destinations.� The Rangers, Oilers, Maple Leafs, and Sabres were part of those groups of teams.
However, Patrick Kane has supposedly stated clearly that he would refuse to play for one team, according to a recent report by ESPN's Kevin Weekes.
And it is now confirmed that team is the Toronto Maple Leafs. Kane notified Kyle Davidson, the general manager of the Chicago Blackhawks, he would never play for the Toronto Maple Leafs.
