The Detroit Red Wings have been rejected by one of their few reliable scorers, taking a hit to their 2026-27 roster.
Patrick Kane rejected the Wings' attempts to re-sign him for a third consecutive summer and instead entered free agency, where the 37-year-old found an appealing offer from the Chicago Blackhawks. Kane is going back to where his career began with a two-year deal.
Kane sounded like there was a chance he would stay when the season ended, but that was before news emerged that Dylan Larkin - who shares an agent, Pat Brisson, with Kane, had requested a trade.
A chaotic Red Wings summer continued July 15 with the news general manager Steve Yzerman would be moving to an advisor role.
Kane had 16 goals and 41 ******* ists in 67 games in 2025-26. Even in the twilight of his career, Kane proved he's still got it. Post-Olympics, as many skaters on the Wings faltered, Kane was their second-leading scorer with 25 points in 24 games (trailing only Alex DeBrincat's 28 points).
