Next year
Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews will both be free agents, Blackhawks general manger has stated he will be doing a full retooling rebuild properly and isn't willing to take on any big contracts which seems like Kane is out the door- it is surely Kane's choice as well as he's a unrestricted free agent and is able to choose his next destination himself, why would he want to stay in Chicago? Both Kane and Toews are near there last ride of their NHL careers and would love to see some playoff hockey, which will not come in a rebuilding team.
