Since we've known this for over a year, Kane is the one who decides if and where he wants to be traded as he has a no-movement clause that can only be waived by himself. In response to information regarding Patrick Kane's discussions with his agent Pat Brisson, who are reportedly now considering contending teams as a match for #88, Mark Lazerus, the main Chicago Blackhawks reporter for the Athletic, has spoken out.
Kane's current deal is worth $10.5 million, but it expires after this year's NHL playoffs. The Blackhawks will undoubtedly need to take off�at least 50% of their cap space in order to accommodate Kane's desire to join a Stanley Cup contender.
