1 – Patrick Kane
At age 34, Patrick Kane’s skill is still undeniable. He is also highly decorated.
Kane is a three-time Stanley Cup champion, winning it with the Chicago Blackhawks in 2010, 2013 and 2015. During the 2013 run, Kane was unbelievable, which is what led him to win the Conn Smythe Trophy that year.
The American has even won the Hart Memorial Trophy the same year he was the Art Ross Trophy recipient.
Last season, Kane spent time with both Chicago and the New York Rangers. Between the two clubs, the right-winger played 73 games.
In those contests, he recorded 21 goals and 36 assists for a total of 57 points. For his career, Kane has played 1180 games where he collected 451 goals and 786, which gives him an astonishing 1237 points.
Kane remains one of the most skilled players in the NHL. He has a lot left to give and will be in high demand. It would be a great upgrade to the Toronto Maple Leafs for them to sign the future Hockey Hall of Fame player.
There is still a great deal of work to do for the Leafs. It’s still unclear what the makeup of this coming season’s lineup will be or if there are any trades on the horizon.
Toronto Maple Leafs fans just need to remain patient and keep an eye on the free agent market to see whom Treliving plucks next for a deal with the Leafs.
