There are many other tradable commodities within the Blackhawk organization to consider.

The new acquisitions haven’t panned out as expected for the Hawks and that is why they are suffering.

The fact that Kane is having an off year only amplifies this.

It would be infuriating if they traded Kane.

Oh well if a columnist says no then it’s a no.

Score an important goal two years ago and lets forget about the problems the Hawks have had ever since.

Hawks have a miserable past so accept the flaws of Kane, forget where the team is lacking and keep covering up his flaws.

Allow him to finish out his contract and pay him the 5 million per he will be seeking and be stuck with him while not having the cap space to fix the problems that are there and he helps create.

Funny how the Wings and Bruins do not have a single player that is like Kane getting more than 15 mins per game.

Pat Kane couldn’t make the Red Wings, he would be a healthy scratch until shipped outta town under Bowman or Babcock, they wouldn’t allow a player like him on the ice much until he knew how to be responsible and effective at both ends.

But what would the Wings, Bruins, and Roenick know? a local columnist thinks differently at thats that.

Oof, Arnason. Chicago’s come a ridiculously long way.

Montreal will probably pay Price to stay…and drug laws are a lot more lax in Canada than the US.

Why doesnt Chicago trade for Montreals Price?

Exactly. It amazes me that we’ve reached the point that when a guy like Kane or Miller has his first down year or their teams are struggling everyone immediately thinks trade.

This just seems to be a reaction to having a bad stretch, there would no shortage of suitors if they were to dangle Kane but it would have to be an overwhelming offer to move him.

Love the Daze-Zhamnov reference, I also remember that Arnson-Bell-Calder were supposed to lead the Hawks back to the playoffs. Oh the dark days at the United Center are long gone now.

This is exactly what this conversation needed: rationality.
