Maybe a few for Kane but both players are past their prime and likely retiring as Hawks.

Retain the salary if you're rebuilding anyways.
Both guys only have one year left - so maybe they just think they can get more at the deadline as rentals when the contracts aren't as restrictive.
But 1 year of Kane at $5.25 and 1 year of Toews at $5.25 should still get you a decent return.
Toews was only on a 42 point pace last year but had 60 the year before. I think a team looking to take a run would be okay with adding him.
Kane still put up 92 points in 78 games last year. I think you could get a ransom for him if you were to retain salary.

I'd try to talk them into doing the Keith Tkachuk move.
Let us trade you for the season and then we can re-sign you as UFAs if you really want to come back. Although maybe that's more of a deadline move.
