“If the value’s not met, then you value the player more than anyone else,” Davidson said. “So we’re happy with the players that are here. We value them more than other teams around the league, clearly. We’re happy they’re still with the Blackhawks.” ~Kyle Davidson</div></div>

Patrick Kanes value in 2023 is not a 1st round pick, just because you say you want a 1st round pick. Kane is having a down year and his value has been diminished, not to mention the reported hip issue, which sound like the reason NYR backed out. It would be a complete mismanagement of assets not to cash in on Kane. Toronto learned the hard way by letting JVR walk for nothing

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Garak</b></div><div>Even if a team like TOR has most of the leverage, the bottom line is still absolutely a 1st and a prospect. If they can't do a 1st, the prospect better be pretty damn good and even then it would probably take a little more. And that is just as a bare minimum. Davidson will not move anyone if the minimum ask isn't met. The speculated price of a prospect and a 1st IS THE MINIMUM. Would you go to the grocery store and demand that the cashier let you use the same coupon twice on a single purchase? Because that is essentially what you are doing. All of these variables are already factored into the minimum price for Kane. His price isn't getting lower.</div></div>

Hes a pending UFA and Toronto has already stated they wont be paying a 1st for a pure rental. If youre in Davidsons shoes, you can either take this 3rd round pick and Nick Robertson or risk ending up losing him for nothing
