Patrick Kane Opens Up About Being Betrayed by the Blackhawks
Patrick Kane's time in Chicago ended unceremoniously and now he has opened up about not being brought back last offseason.
Kane Opens Up About Not Returning To Chicago
Last year Patrick Kane was traded from the Chicago Blackhawks to the New York Rangers. After a first-round exit, Kane saw that the Blackhawks had won the draft lottery and the right to select Connor Bedard first overall. Due to this, Kane thought that there was a shot that GM Kyle Davidson could decide to bring him and/or Jonathan Toews back as a mentor to Connor Bedard.
Unfortunately for Kane, the Blackhawks elected to bring in some different veterans to mentor Bedard. Amongst these are Corey Perry, Taylor Hall, and Nick Foligno. However, two of these players, Hall and Perry, will not play another game for the Blackhawks this year.
Kane Enters A New Chapter In Detroit
After getting zero consideration from the Blackhawks, Kane wound up signing with the Detroit Red Wings and will play alongside former Blackhawks teammate Alex DeBrincat.
He will likely make up a third of an all-American first line in Detroit with DeBrincat and captain Dylan Larkin. Since this contract is only a one year deal, there is a chance that Kane winds up playing with the Blackhawks again if they chose to give Bedard another mentor for his sophomore year.
