It’s time for another edition of NHL rumours for your Thursday. We’re closing in on the start of the NHL regular season and the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Some teams are amping themselves up for a post-season run. However, others have smashed the button on the rebuild. The Chicago Blackhawks are likely to get a top-three pick in the NHL Draft. However, some asked about a Patrick Kane<\/a> return next season. This edition of NHL rumours talks about that.<\/p>\n

NHL Rumours<\/h2>\n

Patrick Kane Return Not Likely<\/h3>\n

Rumour: The Athletic’s Mark Lazerus conducted a Blackhawks mailbag in his latest column.<\/a> One of the questions discussed a Patrick Kane return. However, Lazerus quickly poured cold water on the idea of the Buffalo native returning to the Windy City. Kane was sent to the New York Rangers<\/a> at the deadline and is an unrestricted free agent at the end of the season.<\/p>\n

\n

Is the Blackhawks' tank worthless if they don't land a top-three pick?<\/p>\n

Which current players are part of Chicago's long-term plans?<\/p>\n

And who's part of @MarkLazerus<\/a>'s all-quote team?<\/p>\n
