News Flash: Patrick Kane Has Zero Trade Value

Patrick Kane is firmly on the trade block but there appears to be some confusion when analysts talk about potential landing spots. Yes, Kane was a great player but when will one of them acknowledge that Kane simply has no trade value right now? I’m convinced it’s because they don’t actually watch the games.

I found someone on Twitter that summed this up perfectly. Someone that you can tell who is watching the games right now. There is no other way to slice it; Patrick Kane looks god awful right now.

^ Great thread. Feel free to read the whole thing. It’s 100 percent true.

The Rangers passed on Kane for that very reason. He was already a cancer defensively and now he’s hurt. The hip injury is a big deal and there is no guarantee he’s even going to be able to finish out the season.

You shouldn’t even have to watch the games at this point to understand that Kane has no trade value. He’s been awful the entire season. The Blackhawks might be terrible but Kane is a -28 for a reason. Jake McCabe is a +2 because he can actually move and is responsible defensively. +/- isn’t everything but it’s plainly obvious Kane is a detriment right now on the ice. His hip is a problem and you’re simply not watching to suggest otherwise.

I’m done with these reporters that have no idea what they’re talking about. If or when Kane gets moved, it shouldn’t be a high acquisition cost. He’s hurt, holds a $10.5 AAV, and a no move clause. If you’re a contender, there’s no reason to give up an arm and a leg for a rental that may not even survive the season. If a team like Vegas or anyone else trades for Kane, it’s going to be for pennies on the dollar.

Make it make sense! Try looking beyond the actual name and watch the games. Please for the sanity of every smart hockey fan out there.
