While Patrick Kane did not get traded at the deadline like many fans were hoping for, it still does not mean he wont be an offseason deal.
Kane has one year remaining (after this season) on a contract that carries a $10,500,000 cap hit and the new General Manager Kyle Davidson made it clear when he took over officially that the Chicago Blackhawks will be entering a rebuild.
At the age of 33, Kane is no spring chicken and if the team is about to enter a rebuild that can be hard for not only Kane who is still preforming at a top level with 78 points in 62 games (103 point pace), but it is also hard for a team to rebuild when they have this kind of star talent as they want to be losing games for a higher pick, not having their star player stealing them wins.
If the Hawks do decide to trade Kane in the offseason he will bring back a very large haul in picks & prospects that could drastically speed up a rebuild. And if his heart truly does want to stay in the city of Chicago, he can always return as a free agent at the end of the season and have the ability to chase another cup elsewhere.
