Kane experiment was fun while it lasted, but by the end, he was a defensive liability and even lost his PP1 spot. Thanks for the memories, Showtime. #LGRW #Sabres #Blackhawks

@Harian_Mossa Same as "Bedard is a bust" and "we should offer sheet Bedard".

@NHLBlackhawks @frank_seravalli 38 years old. Dude is a good hockey player but this is hardly something to get excited about.

@RonVitrano @realBillWirtz It's not an overpay. We owe Kane everything.
English

@realBillWirtz Idiot? Regardless of your cap FLOOR it's an overpay. You're paying for nostalgia, jersey sales and making fans happy. It's working because you along and every other Hawks fan are stoked about having him back and that's awesome. Not 1 other team would pay him over half that $
English

Would like to remind all the morons such as this that as it stands right now, #Blackhawks will be $13M under the cap FLOOR going into next offseason with no major raises due to any returning players. Idiot.

Blackhawks fans mainlining that nostalgia right now…at $8M per annum. OOF.

@jonah_fleisher @chi2334 It was a gift for the legend. Notice how the aav = 88
English

I get why you guys want him back. I’m just shocked at the price tag it took. I find it hard to believe another team was willing to pay that much and, from a strictly on-ice standpoint, I think they would’ve been better off long-term by capitalizing on that cap space to obtain more assets.
But, again, I understand how much he means to the franchise and that it’ll be a ton of fun for the fans — my personal view is just that I’d rather allocate $ based on long-term cup chances rather than a fun series win or two over two years.
English

Patrick Kane’s still a valuable player, sure, but if the Blackhawks wanted to throw away two years worth of cap space, I don’t see why they couldn’t have just used it to take on one of Killorn, Kreider, or Vatrano from Anaheim and receive draft capital in return for doing so.
I find it very hard to believe that other teams were remotely close to giving Kane 2 x 8M. Seems like a pure nostalgia/desperation play.
English

@bearybewrite @AndrewHeaters All of Chicago wants him. No one respects Kane more than us. It's crazy the disrespect other cities give him. It's actually wild. I guarantee if he comes back to Chicago he puts up big numbers. It's just different here for 88.

Kane played top 6 the last 2 seasons in Detroit. He has 2-3 seasons left as a Power play merchant and a bottom 6’r that plays protected minutes. He is an absolute defensive liability. His AAV should be $1.5 -$2.25 for 2 years at best. I know he is an absolute legend but he is not that player anymore. Most likely why he hasn’t been signed yet. Nobody wants to pay him that much 💰
English

Fellas:
My understanding is the hang up with Patrick Kane is not playing time. If he chooses the Sabres he’ll be in their top 6 and will be your favorite player by November.
It’s term. He doesn’t want to continue with the year to year crap.
He thinks he’s got 2-3 good years left.
If I was Jarmo K I’d give it to him.
You need a Russian and we want the cup.

@PuckinHostile The best part is no one gives a shit what you think. Patrick Kane and the Blackhawks organization literally does not give a fuck what you think lmao.

Patrick Kane reportedly after long stay amid rumors of Blackhawks reunion #Echobox=1784744405" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">bolavip.com/en/nhl/patrick…

@JAYChi_Hawks What part of Davidson doesn't want him don't people understand????? He has said a number of times Kane is not in our future. You're going on what Celios said? Try asking Davidson.
English

Now that it’s officially down to Chicago and Buffalo, it’s time to talk numbers. 💰
Kaner put up 57 points in 67 games last year. If Kyle Davidson pulls the trigger, what does a realistic contract look like?
Give me your years and AAV predictions below! 👇 #Blackhawks

The #Blackhawks shouldn't re-sign Patrick Kane. Those glory years were built on a sickening coverup, from which they've worked hard to recover.
Roger Clemens was good on NBC, and Bryson DeChambeau is an even bigger asshole than we thought.

@James063119401 @OviClapBomb @NHLBlackhawks He gave us his best years. Got us the memories. Let him bag chase or cup chase. His best days are behind him
English

@312SportsChi @dan_bernstein Dude is a tool. He knows saying "no" will get him more publicity. What a clown.

@HolyHolloway81 The case that actually got confirmed the woman had zero evidence and was trying to blackmail him? Is that the one you're talking about
English

Patrick Kane also likely raped someone and assaulted a taxi driver.
Wonder if Bedard will do that too
Ben Pope@BenPopeCST
Patrick Kane recorded 203 points in his first 219 NHL games with the Blackhawks. Connor Bedard has now done the same. Patrick Kane signed a five-year contract after his ELC expired. Connor Bedard has now done the same.
English

@bhawkmemes98 Patrick Kane is NOT the greatest Blackhawk of all time.
There are SO SO many great players in our history.
English

There would be no better way to celebrate this Connor Bedard contract extension by bringing back the greatest Blackhawk of all time Patrick Kane to play on his wing. Make it happen Kyle
