Toews, in interviews, is, clearly, disaffected with the Blackhawk's current state. I would expect him to waive his NMC for a Canadian team. I would also expect that Canadian team to overpay for his "intangibles", simply because he is also a good Canadian guy.
For Kane, I haven't heard anything from him since his linemate, DeBrincat, got moved. I would expect that Kane wouldn't be moved until next trade deadline, as his apparent value to a contender would be accelerated. I think Blackhawk fans would be extremely upset if Kane is just dumped until some kind of return could be recaptured.
I don't think that maintaining the NMC would be a big deal by either guy, at this point in their contract/career.
