[John Dietz on X] Watch for Patrick Kane to sign with the Detroit Red Wings. Someone who knows Kane very well said Kane told him he wanted to follow Alex DeBrincat if/when he was able. Of course there has to be mutual interest, so we’ll see if Detroit extends an olive branch …

1. That would be….uhhh interesting

2. No

3. I mean it would make the team better but also rooting for Patrick Kane would feel wrong

4. oh jesus christ

5. I’m good.

6. Gross

7. Guys, it’s Patrick fucking Kane.

8. We know Kane isn’t gonna sign for a few more months. Hopefully Cat and somebody on the team get some good chemistry so we don’t feel desperate to make a move like this. Ideally Raymo and Bergers are playing so well that we don’t see room for Kane to even be in our top 6.

9. I’m down

10. I just want to see Kane in a red wings jersey just because it would break Chicago’s entire fanbase. That’s their golden boy covered in red and white

11. Detroit taxi drivers in shambles

12. I have a friend I’ve known since middle school who likes the Blackhawks and other Chicago teams except the White Sox (Cubs fan) so I can’t wait to see his reaction to this news if this does happen, even though Kane was recently with the Rangers.

13. I mean, if Wings signed a homophobe why not a rapist

14. “Nah, we good dawg.”

15. Assaulted Detroit Taxi driver confirms Patrick Kane is in Detroit.

16. Ewww

17. I wanted Kessel just to justify getting a Wings Kessel jersey, but Patty Kane? I guess either way Berggren is going to be on the Griffins? Fabbri is probably going to be out of the lineup for substantial time so maybe it works out.

18. Who is this source, John Dietz?

19. Id buy a jersey instantly

20. As a Wings fan living in Chicago…I don’t know how to feel about this

21. Like anything else, don’t get too strong of feelings one way or the other until someone with actual credibility within the Hockey Insider sphere reports something like this.

22. So.. I’ll believe it when it happens but if it does I’ll need a new pair of boxers.

23. Yes please

24. Does this guy have any credibility?

25. Man, fuck that guy. Stay in New York, douche.

26. Interesting theory is all I can say.

    Reminds me of reading about how Wings fans reacted to when Chelios became a Wing. Different situation but if Kane was here and he produces we’d all forget the past.

27. Man, I’d love this. I’ve been banging this drum for a while now.

28. Lol at everyone acting like they wouldn’t love him if he was on the team.

29. Um, wass6p with this?

30. No, thank you. On the downward career trajectory, and as shown with the Rangers, plays absolutely no defense (doesn’t backcheck). Hard pass – don’t do it, Stevie Y.

31. Idk if I’m ready for this adb doesn’t feel like a hawk to me but Kane obvs does

32. There would be nobody better for Raymond to learn from.

33. I’d read that Debrincat and Kane were pretty tight off the ice in Chicago, and both of his 40+ goal seasons were playing on a line with Kane. Might not hurt to sign Kane to at least a one year contract when he comes back in December.

34. Chris Chelios approves

35. Maybe it’s another Chelios thing, where he comes here for one last cup with the new core only to play for the wings for 10+ years.

36. Uhh…. pass? Maybe,just maybe on a 1 year deal so if he’s good he can either be a tool in the playoffs or flipped at the deadline but he’s not a long term piece in any aspect and really doesn’t make a whole ton of sense.

37. Do not want

38. Debrincat-Larkin-Kane
    Raymond-Compher-Perron
    Would be a nice top 6

39. All for it

40. Who is this?

41. They just took an angle grinder to his hips, he’s a bitch (as is Toews) because of what went on in that room, he’s elderly- no dice
