Patrick Kane Rumored to be Joining a New Team in the Near Future: Report

Patrick Kane report suggests he may join new team soon originally appeared on NBC Sports Chicago

We may soon discover where Patrick Kane plans to sign early this week, according to Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman.

The former Blackhawks star remains a free agent more than a month into the regular season as he recuperates from hip resurfacing surgery.

There’s been much speculation that Kane could join the Florida Panthers as they strive to return to the Stanley Cup Final. Friedman also mentioned that Kane has shown interest in the up-and-coming Red Wings. A move to Detroit would reunite Kane with his former Blackhawks linemate Alex DeBrincat.

However, Friedman expressed difficulty in discerning Kane’s intentions.

“Tougher than an escape room to figure out where he’s going,” Friedman remarked.

Nonetheless, Friedman anticipates a decision in the near future.

“I do believe he’s down to a couple of teams.”

Many believe the possibility of Kane returning to Chicago is slim since the team is in the early stages of a rebuild.

Kane is one of the most accomplished players in Blackhawks history, ranking second in points scored (1,225), second in assists (779), third in goals (446), and third in games played (1,161). He played a pivotal role in the team’s three Stanley Cup championships.
