MAJOR: Elliotte Friedman Drops a Bombshell on Patrick Kane's Future in the NHL
Elliotte Friedman shared a major update on Patrick Kane's future in the NHL during the latest episode of 32 Thoughts.
Friedman Mentions Possible Reunion Between Patrick Kane and the Chicago Blackhawks in 32 Thoughts
Kane, who has been playing well since he returned to the NHL with the Detroit Red Wings, was in Chicago for the first time since he left the team last season.
Before the game, the team retired Chris Chelios' number in an emotional ceremony.
This clearly brought up a lot of feelings for Kane, who's still admired by Hawks fans.
Friedman believes a reunion with Kane could be possible. Here's what he said:
"I'm not sure if Kane will do an extension in the season or not, but he's been a great fit there [in Detroit].
[...] I think we believed that at the end of last year, Chicago had closed the book in that era of the Blackhawks. I just wonder if there are any chances now, after seeing the way that night went, that that could change.
- Wow. Kane playing with Connor Bedard... Kane goes back to Chicago?
- I have no insights on this [...], but Kane was asked about it post-game and he kind of down-played it a bit. I understand its probably still pretty raw, but watching that whole night and the great show that the organization put on and the way the fans reacted and Kane, the way he played himself, I just cant help but wonder if it could be possible."

Patrick Kane and Connor Bedard would make an amazing duo. While nothing is confirmed, fans can't help but trying to imagine how devastating they'd be together on the ice.
