Patrick Kane Contract<\/h2>\n

Kane isn’t the player he once was after battling back from hip issues. However, it really hasn’t impacted his bread and butter, which is his silky smooth hands. He can still dangle on the power play with the best of them. Chicago and young players like Connor Bedard and Frank Nazar will relish in the opportunity to learn from one of the greats of his generation.<\/p>\n
