There is no indication on whether Patrick Kane's camp agreed to or not when the Edmonton Oilers asked the Chicago Blackhawks to waive the no-movement clause, according to Chris Johnston of TSN.� Given that they only have�$500,000 in salary cap�remaining, the Chicago Blackhawks would need to keep up to 75% of Kane's salary cost to make a trade with Edmonton work. Nevertheless, even then, it is unlikely they could pull it off without taking on any of Edmonton's contracts.
Kane also has hip issues, and after noting a substantial decline in his play this season�only 37 points in 51 games�many have questioned if he needs surgery.
Would Kane still choose to leave now that it is known that Toews will remain in Chicago due to his health issues?
