Why Chicago Blackhawks should trade Patrick Kane

With the Chicago Blackhawks seemingly in a state of rebuild, I think it makes sense for the Chicago Blackhawks to trade Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews. Here are some trades that would make sense for the two franchise stars.

Patrick Kane Trade Destinations:

New York Rangers

Edmonton Oilers

Buffalo Sabres

Patrick Kane Trade 1:

NY Rangers get Patrick Kane

CHI Blackhawks get Kappo Kakko/Vitaly Kravtsov, Nils Lundkvist, cond. '23 2nd round pick, cond. '25 3rd round pick. If the Rangers make the second round of the playoffs, 2nd round pick becomes a 1st round pick. If Patrick Kane re-signs with the Rangers, Chicago gets a 2025 3rd-round pick.

This trade benefits both teams and the deal will reunite him alongside his former linemate Artermi Panarin.

Patrick Kane Trade 2:

EDM get Patrick Kane

CHI Blackhawks get Jesse Puljujarvi, Tyson Barrie, 2024 1st round pick.

Chicago retains 25% of Patrick Kane's Contract.

This trade is strictly a rental for Edmonton, while for Chicago they get some nice pieces for Kane so they don't lose him for nothing.

Patrick Kane Trade 3:

EDM get Patrick Kane

BUF get Casey Mittelstadt, JJ Peterka, Alexander Kisakov, '23 2nd round pick, cond. '23 2nd round pick. If Kane re-signs with Buffalo, Chicago gets a 2023 2nd round pick.

Chicago gets a pretty good haul in exchange for Patrick Kane, while Kane gets to play for his hometown team.

The Rangers have the best assets to offer Patrick Kane, the question is whether they would be willing to part with a play like Kappo Kakko or Vitaly Kravtsov for a rental like Patrick Kane. Since Patrick Kane has an NMC, he will ultimately control where he ends up, so I think will be between the Sabres or the Rangers, as they are both close to home.

Jonathan Toews Trade Destinations:

Winnipeg Jets

Colorado Avalanche

Ottawa Senators

Jonathan Toews Trade 1:

WPG get Jonathan Toews

CHI Blackhawks get Nate Schmidt, David Gustafsson, 1st round pick '24.

This is a good trade for Jonathan Toews as the Blackhawks are going to get, as his cap hit very unattractive to contenders, so they will have to take back a bad contract as well.

Jonathan Toews Trade 2:

COL Avalanche get Jonathan Toews

CHI Blackhawks get JT Compher, Martin Kaut, 2023 1st round pick.

This is a trade that is made at the Deadline, as Colorado doesn't have enough cap space now to make the trade, but with more cap space available at the deadline, it would be a possibility.

Jonathan Toews Trade 3:

OTT Senators get Jonathan Toews

CHI Blackhawks get Ridly Greig, Shane Pinto, Nikita Zaitsev, 2024 1st round pick.

This trade allows the Senators to do two things, add Jonathan Toews and at the same time dump Nikita Zaitsev's contract.

Unlike the Patrick Kane trade where all the Blackhawks will get a favorable return, the Blackhawks may not get that great a return if they do trade, Jonathan Toews, because he has an NMC and he would have to accept the move there, which restricts the possible trade destinations. Teams like Colorado and Winnipeg may not be able to offer as much as a team like Ottawa could, but Toews wants to win, which would definitely favor the Colorado Avalanche, and the Blackhawks may not get a great return as the Avalanche doesn't have much to offer in a trade for Toews.

Most likely results:

Patrick Kane traded to NYR

Jonathan Toews traded to COL

This is how the lineup looks like after the trades

P.Kurashev-L.Reichel-K.Kakko

T.Johnson-JT.Compher-T.Raddysh

Athanasiou-M.Domi-Co.Blackwell

B.Katchouk-S.Lafferty-M.Entwistle

A.Vlasic-S.Jones

J.McCabe-C.Murphy

R.Stillman-C.Jones

P.Mrazek

A.Stalock

Top Prospects:

F: F.Nazar, M.Kaut, C.Dach, P.Ludwinski, R.Greene, G.Hayes

D: I.Mitchell, N.Lundkvist, K.Korchinski, E.Del Mastro, S.Rinzel

G: J.Stauber, A.Soderblom

The Chicago Blackhawks look like a rebuilding team but added some picks and prospects for two of their former franchise players.

FANTASY HOCKEY WAIVER WIRE PLAYERS TO PICKUP

C Sean Couturier -After missing 2+ years, Sean Couturier is back and it seems like he hasn't missed a beat. Believe it or not, Couturier has been one of the top centers in the league so far with his all-around play, putting up 2 goals, 3 assists, 2 PPP, 63 FW, 24 SOG, and 1 SHP. Despite showing that he is still an elite center, Couturier is only owned in 20% of fantasy leagues. Pick him up now, while you still can. Ryan Johansen - Serves as the Avalanche's 2nd line center and plays on their all-world 1st pp unit. Despite not being the player he used to be, Johansen is still a valuable fantasy asset because of the players he plays with. Johansen has 4 goals and 4 PPPs along with 63 FW so far this season. He is owned in 29% of fantasy leagues. Sean Monahan - Someone must have gotten a time machine and put Sean Monahan in it because he is playing like he was back when he was in his prime. Monahan has been arguably the best player on Montreal this year, with 3 goals, 6 points, 2 PP

FANTASY HOCKEY WAIVER WIRE PLAYERS TO PICKUP

Here are some players you should pickup in Fantasy Hockey, sorted by position. Center Colton Sissons Colton Sissons is one of the best 4th line centers in the league, but in fantasy hockey, he could be even more valuable than he actually is in real life because of what he provides in the peripheral categories. So far this season Sissions has 5 goals, 1 PPP, 1 SHP, 12 PIM, 20 SOG, 89 FW, 15 hits, and 9 blocks. This is a terrific stat line and although you can't count on Sissons scoring a ton, he will fill out the FW, Hits, and blocks usually. Sissons is owned in 6% of fantasy leagues, snag him up while you can. Nick Bjugstad Nick Bjugstad is having an excellent year so far with the Arizona Coyotes, in fact he has played so well that he earned himself a promotion to play on the 2nd line along with Mattias Maccelli and Lawson Crouse. Bjugstad also gets time on Arizona's 2nd PP unit and 2nd PK unit. Bjugstad may not be a name who stands out to casuals, but his fantasy stat line is

Fantasy Hockey Forwards to Trade For

Here is a list of Players who you should consider trading for in Fantasy Hockey. Tage Thompson Tage Thompson had very high expectations of him heading into this season but has been a massive disappointment to this point in the season with only 7 goals, 8 assists, 4 PPP, 60 SOG, and 99 FW. Thompson has been better after coming back from injury and you would think that he is going to eventually start putting points in bunches. Because of how bad Thompson's statline is this season. it would be a good idea to trade for him because you may not have to give up a lot in return. Elias Lindholm Elias Lindholm is another player who has had a slow start to the season with only 7 goals, 10 assists, 3 PPP, 68 SOG, and 297 FW so far this season. Lindholm is definitely going to want to play better if he wants to increase his value for his next contract and also showcase himself for a trade at the deadline. If Lindholm gets dealt to a contending team, his fantasy value would drastically improve b
