Canadian NHL Media Member Overhears Patrick Kane to a Canadian Team is a Done Deal
On March 3rd, the NHL trade deadline will take place. Teams will have until 3PM to make their deals; beyond that time, transactions will no longer be allowed. Prior to the NHL trade deadline, some teams are still determining their game plans, while others, like the Chicago Blackhawks, are well aware of their strategy, which includes being sellers.
The two players most likely to be dealt before the trade deadline are Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane, but given recent reports that Toews may be dealing with the same sickness that kept him from playing the full 2020�21 season, it is unlikely that Toews would be traded. Kane, on the other hand, is still up for debate.
Patrick Kane would accept a trade to two particular teams, the New York Rangers and a surprise Toronto Maple Leafs team, according to Carlo Colaiacovo, a former NHL defenseman who is now a TSN analyst. It appears as though the Rangers are no longer involved in any Kane trade discussions because they have made a huge shock by trading for Vladimir Tarasenko.
The Maple Leafs remain in the rumours surrounding Patrick Kane, but talk of Kane moving to Toronto has increased after NHL Sirius XM Radio broadcaster Dave McCarthy overheard trade rumours when the Maple Leafs faced the Blackhawks just two nights ago in Toronto.
Overheard in the press box:
What number is Patrick Kane going to wear? Nylander probably isn't giving up 88 right?
This has added a lot of fuel to the fire, and we will have to see if these rumours are true, just 14 days away until the NHL trade deadline time will sure tell..
