After winning three Stanley Cup rings with the Chicago Blackhawks, Patrick Kane is reportedly on his last few miles with the Chicago team, according to several informed sources. He will become an UFA at the end of the current campaign, which begins in one month. Former defenceman and now NHL insider Ryan Whitney has revealed the next destination for the Chicago Blackhawks' number 88. It may seem surprising at first, but after extensive research, it makes sense. <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/spittinchiclets/status/1564250483090669568'> </a></blockquote></div> Ryan Whitney believes Patrick Kane will sign with the Buffalo Sabres. It's hard to believe, but the team that has been rebuilding for several years could use a quality veteran who won the Stanley Cup to help the talented young players progress. At 33, Patrick Kane will play the final year of his contract in 2022-2023. At $10.5 million on the payroll, Patrick Kane cannot be traded easily. The Blackhawks have been cleaning house this summer. First, Alex Debrincat went to Ottawa, then Kirby Dach was traded to the Montreal Canadiens. At the trade deadline, the price for getting Patrick Kane's services won't be at its best unless the team signs him to a contract extension by then. The assistant captain grew up in the Buffalo area and has maintained a second home in the area. An analyst with the <i>Spittin' Chiclets</I> Podcast, Ryan Whitney reportedly has inside information from the Kane clan. The former defenseman, who has rolled around the NHL primarily with the Pittsburgh Penguins and Edmonton Oilers, is still well connected in the NHL. With the Jack Eichel trade, the Buffalo Sabres have been lucky. Several talented young players have joined their team and the future looks bright in Buffalo. Ryan Whitney even added a layer by saying that the Sabres will win a Stanley Cup before the Toronto Maple Leafs.
