Two players who have been with the Blackhawks during the glory days and now the gloomy days are veterans Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane.

Kane is thought to be the highest sought after prize right now, as the former 100 point scorer still has a lot left in the tank and with him on an expiring contact, he could make a very good rental for a team that is looking to contend for a cup this season.
