For those that may not know, Patrick Kane is a future hall of fame professional hockey player who as of this week, plays for the Detroit Red Wings. Patrick Kane, who spent most of his career as a Chicago Blackhawk and just one season last year as a New York Ranger, is touted as one of, if not, the best American-born hockey player of all time. As you can imagine, this is a pretty big deal for the Detroit Red Wings, who have started their season with 11 wins out of their first 20 games.
What does signing Patrick Kane mean for the Detroit Red Wings
Signing Patrick Kane is an exciting move for the Detroit Red Wings who haven’t garnered a significant amount of national press in recent years with any notable signings, but the real exciting impact is that Patrick Kane is truly a veteran of professional hockey who can add a lot of insight to the team’s locker room. Kane’s resume speaks for itself, with three Stanley Cup championships to his name as well as being a past winner of the Hart Trophy, his agreeing with the Detroit Red Wings on a one-year deal has sparked a bit of excitement in hockey fans throughout Detroit.
What should Red Wings fans expect from Patrick Kane?
Patrick Kane has admittedly slowed his pace over the last few years and is not the same electric player that he once used to be, however, that does not mean he isn’t a positive impact to our Red Wings. He will be returning with his old linemate and friend, Alex DeBrincat in Detroit to no doubt shake things up and hopefully help lead the Red Wings back to playoffs, which they haven’t been to since 2016.
