Patrick Kane has undoubtedly become the wild card within this whole conversation, as this veteran is sitting directly at the intersection of legacy and opportunity.

At this time, it is uncertain whether this forward will sign an extension with Detroit or make his way to an alternative organization.
«For me, it's just the love of the game. I love being on the ice,» Kane told The Hockey News. «I love practicing. I love playing. I love being in a moment where the team needs to count on you and you need to step up, right? That's the kind of thrill that drives me now. It's not necessarily the numbers.»
