Patrick Kane's next team may now be known

Patrick Kane is the best player remaining on the free agent market. All summer Kane has been linked to multiple teams. Now it appears the most likely location for Kane might come as a surprise to everyone.

According to John Dietz of the Daily Herald, Patrick Kane could be on his way to Detroit to join the Red Wings. This report comes from a source close to Kane.

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 ...

DeBrincat and Kane were a dynamic duo when they played together In Chicago and Kane was openly upset when DeBrincat was traded. Over the years the two developed a very strong friendship, which makes this rumor make a lot of sense.

The Red Wings would have to share a similar interest, but Steve Yzerman has proven he's not afraid of making difficult decisions and shrewd moves.
