Justin Lowe: Fast 5: How to Play Defence, Goaltending and Trade Chatter
I am working on a Patrick Kane article for this week, but it’s been taking me a bit longer than anticipated because there is just so much “Kane content”.

This guy has just incredible this year and I think we tend to take him for granted. I will have something for you all by Friday focusing on #88.

For today’s read/chat, I have my “Fast 5” Blackhawks thoughts I wanted to discuss.

First ... well, almost.

Great piece, TC.

Looking forward to the Kane blog. He's been more than incredible this year, without Artemi.

Losing Gus would definitely be a double edged sword.

I don't think Stan will do the take on a bad contract for "fleecing". It's not like him, imo. I want him to, but don't expect it to happen.

I expect a win against NYR.

Gust: "At this point, he has to be a lower pairing defenceman / PP1 specialist… until his effort picks up at least."

exactly what i suggested: on playoff caliber team that is solid defensively that is where he belongs...on a better team they would have more cover for his gaffes and get the upside of his offensive skills,,

with the hawks he is just liability all the way around

It will be interesting to see if Gustafsson plays against the NYR after being benched for the 3rd period the other night.

Speaking of TOI, I predict Kane with 25 minutes.

Kane will play the whole game, pp and pk for their entirety, the 1st intermission interview, and the 2nd intermission coach's interview.

And then make sure that grandpas 2 and 7, and little tykes 12 and 28 don't stay up past their bed times when the game is over. Kane's on diaper detail. The man will never rest again.

Most valuable play-by-play(er).

He doesn't get paid enough for all he suddenly started doing.

I'm sure if he telestrated what he was going to do, no one would be able to stop him still.

Pretty wild how amazing Kane has been.

Liked the idea for number 4. Taking some salary for futures. Good stuff.

I like the salary for futures angles too. If they trade Anisimov and his 4.5 million for a pick and/or prospect, they could then take on a second salary with additional picks and prospects. Hawks will be awash in decent prospects and draft picks.

Wonder what some of the other McDonagh type salaries are out there that contending teams want to offload.
