Patrick Kane goes to Los Angeles Kings in these 3 trade packages
The Chicago Blackhawks are going to be one of the worst teams in the National Hockey League this season. With Patrick Kane in the last year of his contract, his status is going to be one of the key topics this season.
There is a chance that the Blackhawks trade him this season if they don’t agree to an extension. He could want to stay but the Blackhawks could get a lot for him.
He is still an incredibly productive player and has a lot of experience with winning over the course of his NHL career. A contender might value that a lot and overpay to get him.
One team that might take a look is the Los Angeles Kings. They took a big step forward in 2021-22 and could make a splash. If they did, the trade could look like one of these three:
Patrick Kane would be a perfect fit for the Los Angeles Kings this season.
The Los Angeles Kings surprised a lot of people in 2021-22. They had 99 points in the Pacific Division and qualified for the Stanley Cup Playoffs. They played a very good series in the first round against the Edmonton Oilers but fell in seven games.
A player like Patrick Kane might be what can help them get out of the first round again for the first time since winning the Stanley Cup in 2014. He is still one of the most dynamic offensive players in the league which could really help them.
There would probably need to be salary retained here but that is why the Blackhawks would be getting a return this amazing A 2023 first-round pick is incredibly valuable as this upcoming draft is going to be amazing. Even a 2023 third-round pick is something that will help any team.
Landing a player like Alex Turcotte (who was a top-five draft pick) is also something that fits what the Chicago Blackhawks are trying to do. If Los Angeles is willing to give him up in a deal, this is one that could work out well.
