Apparently Roenick thinks Kane is expendable

by Joe Bagazinski on Feb 16, 2012 8:42 PM CST

According to this ESPN article, Jeremy Roenick thinks Chicago will get rid of Kane for a top goalie prospect. Would you rather Kane go to another West coast team, or an Eastern conference power? I wouldn't want to see him in the Eastern conference, especially on a team like Pittsburg, Boston, or Philly. I don't think the Wings would entertain a trade for Kane unless Chicago would be willing to take Conklin and a prospect maybe?

I don’t think any team wants Conklin. Probably take a big deal to move Kane. imo I’d say a Rick Nash size deal. The wings will never send away the prospects but another team may be willing too.

I'm not better at finding things than anyone else who has Google.

What's the scouting report for McCollum look like?

I know he is having a really rough year, but I thought going into the preseason he was considered to have some potential down the road as a lower/backup goalie.

I’d definitely give up McCollum plus picks for Kane, despite how much I hate him.

Goalies are enforcers too.

Last I heard, his NHL prospects are next to zero, especially with Mrazek continually improving.

Could we get Kane?

Is he a free agent after this year? Is he our big move?

No

Kane is locked up for the next 3 years after this season, and he’s not going anywhere. Stan Bowman would be an even bigger idiot than I thought if he traded Kane unless he could get Rinne or someone like that (and I think Bowman is not a good GM).

Patrick Kane is not going to get traded, at least not this year. Besides, he’s had an off-year, so his value is too low to get the kind of return that the Hawks would need to make it an even deal.

Never under any circumstances would I want Patrick Kane on the Detroit Red Wings.

He is my least favorite player in the entire NHL. Classless. Does not play defense. Small. Beats up cab drivers. Gets addicted to alcohol and/or drugs. Just no.

Living in Chicago is great... apart from the Blackhawks fans.

Seriously guys?

Kane for McCollum / Conklin and picks? Listen to yourselves. The guy is an annoying little shit, but he’s a hell of a hockey player, his cold-streak notwithstanding.

Would you trade Filppula for John Scott and picks? Zetterberg for Ray Emery and Sami Lepisto?
