#5 Former Detroit Red Wing Patrick Kane said he was glad to play for the Red Wings and made friends with former teammate Alex DeBrincat and said that he would like have been a part in helping the Wings get to the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Some of the reasons why Kane left Detroit might have been that Dylan Larkin requested a trade, Steve Yzerman as GM, and Chicago Blackhawks owner Danny Wirtz called Kane as soon as his free agency became available.
