However, it&#8217;s more of a &#8220;not right now.&#8221; The Blackhawks appear to be hesitant on trading the 33-year-old forward who has spent his entire career in Chicago.<\/p>\n<p>Kane has had a Hall of Fame career with Chicago. Three Stanley Cups, and 1,180 points in 1,170 games. This, a recent resurgence in performance, has shot him back into the NHL&#8217;s spotlight.<\/p>\n<p>Although with his teammate <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/t\/toewsjo01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jonathan Toews<\/a> was sidelined with health issues, a lot of questions have been swirling around about their future in Chicago.<\/p>\n<h3>Analysis<\/h3>\n<p>This is a smart play by the Blackhawks to hold out on trading Kane. For now, nobody knows how the Blackhawks&#8217; season will play out. Hence, holding out on trading him in the offseason. For now, it looks like they are holding onto him until the trade deadline.<\/p>\n<p>For Kane, this could be his chance at getting a fourth championship ring. Although it&#8217;s totally reasonable for him to stick with the Blackhawks throughout the rebuild, he is almost too valuable for the organization to hold on to without at least considering a trade.<\/p>\n<p>It may put a dent in his legacy if he doesn&#8217;t his career out with the Blackhawks. However, it is a logical step for him to take. He could go to a contender, or at least a team guaranteed in the playoffs and carry them as far as possible.<\/p>\n<p>For now, however, it all seems to be up in the air whether he&#8217;ll be moved or not, as more information is coming out daily.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Over the last ten seasons, only Alex Ovechkin has more even strength goals than Patrick Kane: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/IqnSNr0ezl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/t.co\/IqnSNr0ezl<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NHLBlackhawks?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@NHLBlackhawks<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Blackhawks?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#Blackhawks<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/UicScvj2hp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/UicScvj2hp<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Hockey Reference (@hockey_ref) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hockey_ref\/status\/1550226609839521798?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">July 21, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Patrick Kane has been in the headlines recently, as trade talks have emerged.
