“Winners don’t play with any teams” – Avalanche may become contender for Leafs regarding Patrick Kane’s 2022 trade
Patrick Kane
Patrick Kane has finally declared that he is not interested in playing with the Toronto Maple Leafs, but then which team is he vying for? Edmonton Oilers and Colorado Avalanche may be one of those teams, who are can become a match for the star winger.
Kane is one of the NHL’s best players, and he is in full control of his destiny. He can choose the team he’s willing to go to and vice versa. Especially after the statement he made regarding Leafs, “I’m a winner and winners don’t go play for teams that can’t get past the first round, so my decision will be based on a team that’s pointing in the right direction, not one with constant failures.”
Will Colorado Avalanche join the race to bag in Patrick Kane?
Though that was a hard blow for Toronto, it gave ample chance to its opponents the Avalanche and the Oilers. Avalanche may be considered the best team Kane can go to, noting his earlier comment regarding Leafs. This year Avalanche won the Stanley Cup Championship since its first win in 2001 against the Tampa Bay Lightning. Patrick Kane would look good with the other Avalanche players surrounding him on the ice. But who knows?
Avalanche can take up this chance to better up the roster line and aim for the playoffs once again in the following year. Being the player Patrick Kane is, he won’t have any problem adjusting to other star Avalanche players like Nathan MacKinnon, Cale Makar, Mikko Rantanen, Gabriel Landeskog, etc. Kane’s move from the Blackhawks may mostly be centered around them being not the exact playoff teams, as noted on yardbarker.com.

His name has been linked to almost every NHL team to find out a better match, but at the end of the day, it’s up to “Showtime” to decide his path. On Thursday, Elliotte Friedman on his latest “32 Thoughts” episode linked Oilers as a prospective team for Kane.
Friedman stated, “This one has been hot locally… there’s been a lot of talk about whether [the Oilers] are going to make a run at Patrick Kane”. “I think it’s legitimate that they’d like to. I don’t have any reason to believe that this talk is hot air… I think this is legitimate air, not hot air.” At the end of the day, its Kane and time that will tell us where he lands up, as the Chicago has a full no-move clause to his contract. But as of now, it’s all rumors.
