Top 5 players the Blackhawks should target in free agency

5. The return of a franchise icon?

"The door is closed." "It's unlikely." "It's not happening." Blackhawks fans have heard it all about a reunion for Patrick Kane and the Blackhawks.

Forget about the name for a second. A proven winner, former first overall pick who is coming off a 59 point regular season—his best in 4 years—is set to hit free agency.

This former first overall pick is a dynamic scorer who can do it all on the wing. He has helped made a creative offense lethal, and he has a history of playing with undersized forwards like Alex DeBrincat.

Chicago wants to boost their top six, and Patrick Kane would be a great fit for that. When putting together a list of free agents it would almost be wrong not to include him.

Davidson and the organization has stated the door is closed on a reunion with Kane in Chicago, but the Blackhawks would be a better team if they changed their mind.
