Default Trading for Patrick Kane

Chicago's got 3 cups with the guy. He's an immense talent. But after numerous personal and legal issues, the Blackhawks may need to cut ties with him.

If you're BT, is it a no-brainer to make an offer?

Who do the Flames package up in a trade proposal with Chicago? Do we even have the cap space to pursue something like this?

If Johnny Gaudreau is the next great American hockey player, does it not make sense for Chicago to target him as one of the US's largest markets?

What makes sense from a Flames perspective?

no-brain to make him an offer... no thanks! Kane averages 65 points over his career, Johnny had 64 in his first year. Are you drunk?

I do not see this thread ending in anything other than a lock.

Fantastic contribution to the thread. The guy likely would have won the Art Ross had he not been injured last season and may actually be available.

JESUS REALLY???

No way is that a straight up trade. You've have to throw in at least a second + Jesus Really.

He probably could be the 15\16 Art Ross winner except he was charged with 5 counts of rape, theft, assault, drunk driving, and coke possession.

If the Blackhawks are cutting ties with him for those reasons, why on earth would the flames go after him if they are just going to do the same thing. The NHL will cut ties with him if he keeps it up. This thread hurts my brain and I thought I was the one who always made the dumb posts... (Noon)

I'm bored.. so I'll bite. No.. unless they want David Jones, Mason Raymond and Ladi Smid in return.

Also, Kane has a no movement clause. Chicago may want to cut ties with him, but they won't have much say in the matter if he doesn't want to leave. The only way he's gone is if they find a way to terminate the contract.

I believe the concept of Kane not being a Blackhawk next year deserves some merit. However I am not interested in having him on the Flames with that contract.

In all fairness to the OP CBS is reporting at least 5 teams have contacted Chicago about Kane recently...

While I agree with the sentiment of your post, the statement about the NHL cutting ties with him is simply not close to realistic. Unless he is found guilty of a "major" crime (and the one he's being currently investigated for is of course major) then there will always be a home for Kane somewhere in the NHL. Or at least there will be while he's still one of the best in the game. Just a reality of life, you get away with more, if you can deliver something somebody somewhere values.

I would just hope that the Flames' Values don't align themselves with what Kane seems to represent at this point, and I certainly hope the Flames don't feel they are desperate enough at this point in time to need to sacrifice on their values for on ice results.
