Kane’s Rehab, Trade Buzz, Free Agent Targets and Other Blackhawks Bulletts

Just get me to W𝓡ednesday night. Three more days until Co💙nnor Bedard is a Blackhawk

  • Earlier this month, Patrick Kane underwent hip surgery to fix what’s been a nagging issue for him. While he could have kept playing through it, he’d clearly been held back by it a bit. Kane’s timetable for a return is 4-6 months, but just three weeks after his surgery rehab appears to be going very well. Kane’s already taking shots and skating. Showtime has always been a hard worker, so the fact that he’s going all out in the rehab process doesn’t come as much of a surprise. Kane will become an unrestricted free agent on July 1st, and while he won’t be ready on opening night in all likelihood, with how weak of a free agent class this is Kane should have a ton of interest. Sadly, it just doesn’t seem like that interest will come from the Blackhawks.

  • The Blues were on the verge of acquiring center Kevin Hayes from Philadelphia yesterday along with defenseman Travis Sanheim. The deal was all but done until Blues defenseman Torey Krug reportedly refused to waive his no-movement clause. Krug was signed as a replacement for former captain Alex Pietrangelo. Pietrangelo left in free agency after the 2020 season, partially because the Blues wouldn’t include a no-movement in his contract. So then they gave one to Krug, and now they might not be able to move Krug because of it. The deal isn’t quite dead yet, but it seems like Krug will need some convincing. The move to the Flyers could possibly be temporary. Philly is beginning a rebuild and moving out a lot of their bigger pieces, so acquiring Krug and flipping him or just taking on the contract in exchange for picks is likely the case here.

  • There was a report yesterday that the Blackhawks and former Avalanche forward JT Compher have a mutual interest in each other. Compher is from the Chicagoland area. He won a Stanley Cup with the Avalanche in 2022 and played a pretty big role on that roster. Selling Compher on coming home and playing with Connor Bedard shouldn’t be that difficult. The Hawks won’t be overly active in free agency this offseason, but a versatile forward like Compher who can play up and down the lineup and has Stanley Cup experience would be a valued addition to the Hawks’ young, rebuilding roster.

  • Is Ian Happ the most prolific home run hitter in all of London?

  • Speaking of football, The Athletic put out a re-draft of the 2021 NFL Draft. In it, the Bears unsurprisingly don’t end up with Justin Fields. Fields not being a Bear isn’t a world I want to believe exists.
