An insider reveals one of the teams attempting to get Patrick Kane

The most talked-about name this week was Chicago Blackhawks forward Patrick Kane, who many consider one of the best American-born players ever. After huge changes in the Blackhawks front office and a dismal product on the ice this season, there are some hints that the team may be looking for a drastic change in direction. Removing Kane's $10.5 million cap cost would be one method to do so, and it appears that teams throughout the league are intrigued in the idea of doing so.

David Pagnotta of the Fourth Period recently raised the prospect of Kane being traded before of the trade deadline, naming the Colorado Avalanche as a potential suitor for Kane's skills.

"Colorado is digging about, they've talked to Vancouver about J.T. Miller, and they've reached out to Chicago to say 'hey if you're in position and Patty Kane is looking to move give us a call,'" Pagnotta said on the NHL Network.
