What are the point of trading P Kane for peanuts today?

Last time i checked a first round pick was not a "peanut"

I'll pass on Evander, give me Patrick all day

Starting pieces for PKane would be Mercer and the 2022 1st. Then we can start to negotiate other pieces afterward

there's a defenseman named Kane Lafranchise, but he retired in 2018. you could have had Kane Cubed (Kane Kubed?)

Thats laughable... Mercer? He is untouchable, and age is a proven factor in trades since we just saw the last Vezna trophy winner traded for a 6th round pick. Patrick is pretty old, never would get Mercer for him.

For P Kane with a retainer ? That's peanut

This post is laughable. 3x Cup Winner, Hart Winner, Conn Smythe Winner and you think (1) 1st and two pieces of nothing work???

You are WAY undervaluing Kane, the Hawks would never accept this. Doesn't matter, Kane would likely never waive for NJ anyway

Pass on Evander Kane

Patrick Kane is going to cost a lot more. But that would be awesome.

If NJ was in a playoff spot at deadline, he would prob waive to play with Hughes

While the Devils don't pay that price (Mercer+), other teams would in a heartbeat.
One of the few guys team can easily command any team's best prospect + best pick.

Betting he probably wouldn't actually and coming from someone who's followed his entire career since the juniors and all the interviews. Highly unlikely he picks up his family and moves anywhere with the exception of maybe Buffalo or the Rangers. Do you really think Hughes matters to Kane?

I have never seen a player decline a trade to NJ and have never seen NJ on anyone's "no trade" list.
Its a pretty player-friendly place to play (other than us stinking the last few years).

This is a typical homer ACGM team. Half a season of a worse player in Taylor Hall got Bahl and Mercer. Now NJ wants an even better player for (2) years, but won't off something that's even close to what Hall got. Makes no sense at all.

Yea, Hughes does actually matter to Kane. Kane has countless times talked about Hughes and how he sees him as the younger version of himself. Also, hes on a hockey team that is 7-12-2 that has no cap space. Im sure hes having a lot of fun with that and would do anything to stay!

Those two do have a relationship...so that is not out of left field.
But don't think they are that tight where one moves to the other.

Probably a bigger question for Kane would be, does he stick around if Chicago goes into rebuild.

To be fair, the Hall trade happened 10 months before we drafted Mercer and 20 months before he arrived in NHL.

So, half-season of Hall got Bahl, Schnarr, Merkley and 1st. (Merkley is now gone and Schnarr is tearing up AHL).

I think Mercer + 1st would be right price to ask. Just devils won't pay that based on their timeline. Right postage, wrong zip code.

Man after reading all this thread… Patrick Kane does not uproot his family for a mediocre shot a cup run. Why? Because he’s a proven GOAT level player. He grew up a rags fan so maybe rags get Kane.Plus Panarin is more of draw for Kane than Hughes. Kane is not going anywhere unless some franchise sacrifices some amazing futures to get him. AKA Kane will not waive, and even if he did no team in their right mind would dump their future for just 1.5 years of Kane.

I never said that he would move here. I said, generally, NJ isn't disliked as a destination for players.

NJ isn't paying "all-in-win-now" prices on any player. Other teams will. We have the youngest team in NHL, one of the best prospect pipelines, a great future. But that future will probably come after Kane signs his next contract (not in next 1.5 years).

And yes, he is the GOAT

very fair

You probably don't follow Kane much off the ice, but Kane has spoken many times how Chicago is where he and his family want to remain for many years. He's also talked about wanting to work with the Blackhawks after his playing career. He also is very involved with the legacy players and events which is weird for a current player. He stays year-round in Chicago, trains here, has mentioned all his friends are here now. He's accomplished everything a player can accomplish and that's all tied to Chicago. I don't see him leaving as such unless it's to play in a big city such as the New York Rangers where one of his good friends plays Panarin or the remote possibility to return to Buffalo to fullfill a childhood dream. For all intents and purposes though, he is very committed to the Chicago.

This is also coming from someone who's not a diehard Chicago (the city) fan who moved away 10 years ago for greener pastures.

I follow Kane a lot, or at least as much as a non-Blackhawks could. It’s hard not to …as a US hockey fan, he is like our Gretzky. And I don’t doubt anything you are saying.

He probably ends his career with Chicago. I used to say the same about both Brodeur and Zajac. Both finished their careers elsewhere. Both now work for Devils.
