The 2022 NHL season proved to be a testing time for Chicago Blackhawks' star player, Patrick Kane. With the team in the midst of a rebuilding process, speculation grew around Kane's future, as numerous teams sought to acquire his skills.
In a surprising move, Kane opted to join the New York Rangers, partnering with Vladimir Tarasenko in pursuit of the coveted Stanley Cup. Regrettably, their dreams were dashed in the first round by the New Jersey Devils, who defeated them in a nail-biting game seven.
It was later disclosed by Dan Rosen from The Athletic that Kane had been playing with an injury throughout his tenure with the Rangers. As the season came to a close and Kane's status as an unrestricted free agent loomed, questions arose about a potential return to Chicago. However, Kane remained tight-lipped when confronted with the topic.
Returning to Chicago? It's never crossed my mind."
Kane boasts a Hall of Fame career, including three Stanley Cup victories in Chicago, and is widely regarded as the greatest American-born player in history.
