Hawks/Sabres

First post here, hoping to not get boo'do out of the building.

Simple:

To BUF - Patty Kane

To CHI - #2 pick

Based on who the Sabres have chased for coaches, and with some of the young talent in place, they look like a team ready to make a splash. Since they lost out on McDavid, why not bring in a proven star that puts the team in a better position to win now, and is young enough to be there for years to come. It also doesn't hurt that he's a hometown kid.

Hawks cap situation is ugly this offseason, and to keep both Toews and Kane on the roster they will have to move/let go multiple players. By moving Kane for Eichel effectively, it allows the Hawks to keep a Patty Sharpe or a Brent Seabrook, while adding a player who will be a star in the league.

this would be the 1st stumbling block; kane has a NMC and I really doubt he wants to leave CHI and go to BUF. just being from a place doesn't mean you want to play there, toronto is the greatest example of that.

Sorry if I confused the Buffalo comment. I did not mean that Kane would be more likely to go to Buffalo because he's from there, I meant that the Sabres would be more inclined to bring him in and sell him to the fans as Buffalo's own.
