Patrick Kane nearing NHL return; 5 potential landing spots

2. Detroit Red Wings

Choosing Detroit would stir up quite the emotions for fans of Kane’s former team, enacting a similar, but somewhat different move than Chris Chelios’ deal with the team back in 1999. Kane landing with the Red Wings makes plenty of sense on the ice as he would get a chance to team up with a young, up-and-coming team that also features his former line-mate in Alex DeBrincat. Another dynamic playmaker like Kane could put the Red Wings over the top.
