'At least five teams' have inquired on Patrick Kane's availability, per report

If the Chicago Blackhawks decide to trade Patrick Kane, they'll have options. "At least five teams contacted the Hawks" to inquire on Kane's availability after reports emerged that police are investigating allegations that the superstar forward raped a woman at his offseason home last month, according to Mark Lazerus of the Chicago Sun-Times.

It's unclear which teams reached out to the Hawks, who are still figuring out what to do with Kane and his $84 million contract while the district attorney's office determines whether to charge him with a crime. This shows that Kane's trade value around the league remains strong, however, even with the massive cap hit and legal questions surrounding him.
