Scott Powers of The Athletic noted that a reunion between Kane, a three-time Stanley Cup champion, and the Blackhawks could be possible.
I was confident they weren't going to re-sign him last summer. Up until a few weeks ago. I've heard enough in the past few weeks to believe that the Blackhawks are going to at least internally discuss whether to re-sign Kane.
During this season, Kane played 50 games, scoring 20 goals and 27 assists for a total of 47 points, with a -5 rating.
He signed a one-year, $2.75 million contract with the Red Wings, but it seems his time in Detroit is ending.
I'm sure he'd like to make a run at Stan Mikita's franchise points record (Kane needs 242 points to match Mikita) or be in a Blackhawks jersey as he goes after Mike Modano's career numbers as the top U.S.-born player.
Blackhawks fans will soon learn whether Kane will return to Chicago or join another team, as several organizations are expected to vie for his services after July 1st.
