Chicago's dramatic turnaround: Major information about Kane and Toews' future in Chicago
The Chicago Blackhawks began a rebuilding process last year, as the organization made important decisions regarding several players on their roster.
Kirby Dach and Alex DeBrincat were traded on draft day and the Hawks decided to cut ties with two important young forwards in Dylan Strome and Dominik Kubalik, who became compensated free agents.
If there was one certainty that seemed very obvious, it was that the fate of Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews was to end up under other skies by the next trade deadline.
However, according to Scott Powers, who covers the Hawks for The Athletic, there could be a dramatic turnaround in this matter. According to him, it appears that the Blackhawks are not convinced that the two star forwards will actually ask for a deal to leave Chicago.
Having both a no-movement clause, Chicago must absolutely ask them to lift this clause if the organization wants to conclude a transaction.
If Kane and Toews do not want to leave the team that drafted them this season, the Hawks will have to give up trading them to get assets to speed up the rebuilding process.
At the same time, if the two future Hall of Famers are no longer on the trade market, it could have a direct impact on the price of the players that will end up there, such as a certain Sean Monahan with the Habs, who would have been in the same market for a responsible center as Toews.
It will be very interesting to follow this hot issue, less than two months before the trade deadline.
