REPORT: Five teams have interest in Patrick Kane

Ron Burgundy · Sep 1, 2015

While a police investigation continues to find out what happened at Patrick Kane's Hamburg, N.Y. home on Aug. 2, a few teams have called the Chicago Blackhawks inquiring about the star winger. Kane hasn't been charged with anything and might not be but if he is and the Blackhawks decide to part ways with him, there are teams interested. The Chicago Sun Times beat reporter Mark Lazerus touched on the subject in his story today:

At least five teams contacted the Hawks once the Buffalo News first reported the investigation — which involves Kane and a woman at his Hamburg home — and said they’d be willing trade partners should the Hawks decide to cut ties with their superstar winger, according to a league source. The 26-year-old is entering the first year of a record-setting eight-year, $84-million contract.

Yes, you read that correctly at least FIVE teams have interest in Kane since the news broke. That doesn't mean the Blackhawks will trade him and it won't be easy to find a good suitor for Kane. The team would likely want top prospects back or at least another serviceable star. It's going to be an interesting couple of weeks leading into the 2015-16 season.

Because TCD was the founding member of IHN which is now the hearthrob of CCS.

You need to embrace change, man.

Just do it as a favor to me then. I sent him a friend request but he pm'd me and said he wouldn't accept unless you sent him one. Is this some sort of a troll?

Shit I was pretty close in my predictions. Who knew Boston was such a racist town and I am shocked by Buffalo being on the list as I didn't think were interested in Kane since Miller was traded. But I guess you gotta keep your non rapists close and your rapists even closer.

Ok so I am wondering.... why do you want to buy Kane right now?

I have to imagine, if the Hawks considered selling, the asking price would be huge, but maybe they at least sell him.

So you buy Kane and lose a bunch of picks/players to get him and now you have bought someone accused of rape, who could be charged with rape.... in which case you then have to release him.

I mean I get the appeal of Kaner as a hockey player obviously, but isn't this the kind of situation you dont want.... to buy up a guy who you might have to cut and still lose a bunch of stuff in the trade?

No team is going to trade for Kane without a clear picture of what is going to happen to him, with him, etc.

Why would a team have to "release" Kane if he does get charged with something (not knowing how severe it would be necessarily)? Sure, it might not look great but for a lot of teams adding a player of Kane's caliber is going to outweight the baggage that he brings.

Also, can we stop using terms like "release" and "cut" when it comes to Kane or NHL players. Really not how their contracts work at all.

I suppose if we did trade Kane, at least we'd get a ridiculously good return.

If a guy is charged with rape.... you face a PR nightmare and a potential loss in revenue if you hang on to him.... and if he is convicted... then you are even more screwed for supporting a guy convicted of rape.

Give me a word or phrase you feel more comfortable with your holiness.....

When it comes down to it, you are not going to hang on to a player charged or convicted of rape.... I cannot imagine the backlash on a team if they did that.... they are basically saying "Listen we know he may have raped someone, but hockey is more important to us"... to the entire world. If Kane is charged with rape, whomever owns the rights to him is going to get rid of him, terminate his contract, do whatever they have to in order to shed him.

Not gonna lie, there's a small part of me that would be excited with the cap space that would be created by trading Kane.
