One of the intriguing storylines this offseason is where future Hall of Fame forward Patrick Kane will sign. The latest odds suggest he is likely to stay with the Detroit Red Wings. His agent, Pat Brisson, has already met with Detroit GM Steve Yzerman about a potential extension.
Kane signed with Detroit in late November and proved he could still play at a high level, racking up 47 points in 50 games. His performance helped the Red Wings come close to making the playoffs, and his surgically repaired hip held up well, easing concerns about his health.
While several teams are interested in Kane, a return to the Chicago Blackhawks seems unlikely. Despite being a franchise icon and a key part of their three recent Stanley Cup titles, Blackhawks GM Kyle Davidson has ruled out a reunion.
Fans, do you think Kane will stay with the Red Wings next season or take his talents elsewhere? Either way, it seems a return to the Blackhawks isn't in the cards, at least until he likely signs a one-day contract with them to retire.
