Patrick Kane Rejoins the Chicago Blackhawks, Agreeing to a $16 Million, 2-Year Contract
- On Thursday, Patrick Kane signed a two-year, $8 million contract with the Chicago Blackhawks, reuniting the 37-year-old winger with the franchise where he spent his first 16 seasons.
- General Manager Kyle Davidson traded Kane to the New York Rangers on Feb. 28, 2023, to give young players a 'blank slate' for growth, but reconsidered after Kane became an unrestricted free agent on July 1 without a new Detroit contract.
- The highest-scoring American-born player in NHL history recorded 163 points in 189 games over three seasons with Detroit and ranks in the top three in Blackhawks franchise history in goals, assists and points; Kane previously called Bedard 'dangerous every time he's on the ice.'
- While Bedard recovers from shoulder surgery sustained in early July, Kane will serve as Chicago's highest-scoring threat and carries a full no-movement clause protecting his tenure.
- The all-but-certain Hall of Famer who won three Stanley Cups with Chicago, including an overtime goal in Game 6 in Philadelphia in 2010, may eventually partner with Bedard to form a 'highly productive partnership' as the organization pursues another championship.
