Just no.

The Blues would want NOTHING to do with Kane, and the Blackhawks would sooner spoon out their own eyes than hand him to the Blues anyway.

I think we can add Kane to the list of people who say no this this because there is no way he waives or Chicago let’s him waive to their biggest rivals

1. Don’t understand the Schenn trade
2. For me a Kane trade would look like this…
1-2 first rounders a second round pick. A prospect and a solid roster player. Expect 50% RS and who knows, maybe they can get an additional 3rd round pick.

Also no need to add Blackwell

Umn no, Minnesota declines

Minnesota says no thanks. Your idea to make the cap works fixes things for this year, but then makes our cap situation worse for the 2 hardest years of the buyouts when we have more important players to re-sign (like Boldy). This is why we traded Fiala instead of re-signing him. We would have had to sell off several pieces just to try to make the cap work. Schenn on the wrong side of 30 doesn't move the needle enough to make that worth it for us.

We also don't want to be burdened with Schenn until he's 36. We've done enough buyouts for a while. We'll let you deal with that one if/when his contract turns bad.
