'Pierre LeBrun reports Kane, IF he decides to be traded, will give the Blackhawks just ONE team to talk to. If that doesn't work out, he might then give another team, but it will supposedly be one at a time.''
'That creates a negotiating conundrum...''
'The Hawks will have absolutely zero leverage in that case. The chosen team will know Davidson will feel obligated to fulfill Kane's wishes and also know no other teams can bid the price up. There will be nothing stopping them from doing some major lowballing.''
'This situation has been compared to Claude Giroux, who told PHI last year he wanted to go to FLA only. They eventually got a 1st+3rd+prospect back.''
'I'd be shocked if the Hawks end up getting anything close to that much for Kane. They'll be in a very tough spot.''
