VANCOUVER, British Columbia – The Blackhawks decided back in mid-September that Patrick Kane, who was part of a rape investigation at the time, was going to be a part of this team from the start this season.
He’ll also be a part of their future for a long time to come.
Kane is “absolutely” part of the Blackhawks’ long-term plans, general manager Stan Bowman said prior to the Blackhawks’ game against the Vancouver Canucks. Bowman spoke to the media on several topics, including Kane for the first time since training camp, on Saturday night.
“You can’t find talent like that,” Bowman said.
