The Chicago Blackhawks are going to be rebuilding for the foreseeable future. They have already started with some of the moves that they have made so far this season.
It isn’t going to be easy as it seems like they are tearing it down to almost nothing just to try and build it back from the ground up.
This is a strategy that has worked before but it takes a lot of hard work, tough decisions, and a bit of luck. So far, they seem to have a plan.
Right now, it seems like trading Patrick Kane is the best way to get a good haul of picks and prospects. There are a few teams that might consider it.
One of those teams could be the Winnipeg Jets. They failed to make the playoffs in 2021-22 when they were expected to be good.
Instead of tearing it down, they might try one more time with this current core that they have. If they want help, Patrick Kane could be great for that. These are three trades that would make sense between Winnipeg and Chicago involving Patrick Kane:
Blackhawks Get
2023 First-Round Pick
2023 Third-Round Pick
Cole Perfetti
The Blackhawks could get a great prospect in addition to picks for Patrick Kane.
The Chicago Blackhawks are looking to add picks and prospects to their organization. If they do make the decision to trade Patrick Kane, you can expect the haul to be just like that. Getting a first, a third, and Cole Perfetti would be amazing for this team going forward.
Perfetti was a first-round pick (10th overall) in the 2020 NHL Draft. He is going to be a very good NHL player but he has a bit more developing to do. In 18 career NHL games, he has two goals and five assists.
If he came to Chicago, his ice time and opportunity would certainly increase. It is a trade for Winnipeg to consider if they want to go for the Cup one more time with this group.
