from Lyle Richardson at the Bleacher Report,
A creative playmaker, the 33-year-old right wing remains among the league's elite scorers, having finished 14th last season with 92 points in 78 games.
Kane also has a well-established reputation as a clutch playoff performer with 132 points in 136 career postseason games to go with 11 game-winning goals. With three Stanley Cups and the 2012-13 Conn Smythe Trophy on his resume as well, he would draw considerable interest among contenders.
Moving Kane during the offseason would be difficult given his hefty salary-cap hit. The best chance could come near the 2023 trade deadline, when teams have accrued sufficient cap room to take on a player with his talent. Chicago would also likely be more willing by that point to retain half his cap hit.
Kane would undoubtedly become the Blackhawks' best trade chip if they shopped him. But which clubs would stand the best chances to land him?
We examined those possibilities in March leading up to the 2022 trade deadline. Here are our updated potential trades and landing spots.
