And this is official in what way again?
The Hawks don’t need Kane.
What they do need is better goaltending, a more diversified blend of forwards and an upgrade on defensive defenseman.
You cannot get something without giving up something.
Kane is progressively worsening in offensive output (because I know how much you guys love stats).
Look it up.
The clock is ticking on his worth.
But by all means, keep him.
And miss the playoffs next season.
