To say drafting Patrick Kane worked out well for the Chicago Blackhawks would be a gross understatement. Let’s take a look at what he’s done for this club, after joining it 13 years ago today, to help them overcome decades of failure.
Kane got right into the action within the first season after being drafted, playing all 82 contests throughout the 2007-08 schedule.
He racked up 21 goals and 51 assists, for a 72 point season, and was awarded the Calder Memorial Trophy as the NHL’s rookie of the year.
