Kane Hoped to Get a Call From the Blackhawks This Summer
The Blackhawks drafted Connor Bedard this summer, getting a new superstar to replace Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane.
When the historic draft happened, Kane wondered if his old team would give him a call, but they never did.
"I know when I was a young guy, it really helped having some older guys around like Robert Lang, (Martin) Havlat, Yanick Perrault and Patrick Lalime, guys like that. Obviously, we had some young guys coming up that were pretty special players, and that made it pretty easy on me, too. It seemed like they wanted to go in a direction where they were going to bring in some different type of veterans. Yeah, it's what it is. Good for them. You don't think about it too much."
At the end, Kane had great words for the Blackhawks, but everyone sees the aforementioned chip on his shoulder.
