These are my trade proposals, assuming Kane & Toews are available since Chicago is in Rebuild-Mode.
( ALL TEAMS INVOLVED CAN EASILY MAKE THE CAP FIT WITH “MINOR†TRADES )
#1 ( CHI - BUF )
To CHI - Victor Olofsson, Dylan Cozens, 2021 1st-Round Draft Pick & 2022 2nd-Round Draft Pick
To BUF - Patrick Kane
#2 ( CHI - WPG )
To CHI - Logan Stanley, Jack Roslovic, Bryan Little (LTIR) & 2021 1st-Round Draft Pick
To WPG - Jonathan Toews
#3 ( CHI - EDM )
To CHI - Kailer Yamamoto & 2021 Conditional 2nd-Round Pick
To EDM - Duncan Keith
( if Oilers advance to the 2nd Round, the pick turns into a 1st )
Alex Debrincat - Dylan Strome - Dominik Kubalik
Victor Olofsson - Kirby Dach - Jack Roslovic
Alex Nylander - Dylan Cozens - Kailer Yamamoto
Mattias Janmark - Andrew Shaw - Brandon Pirri / David Kampf
Brent Seabrook - Adam Boqvist
Calvin De Haan - Connor Murphy
Logan Stanley - Slater Koekkoek
3 REASONS WHY (From Each Team) :

* Stanley Cup Leadership/Experience
* Prime 1st Line RW
* Hometown Player
EDM -

Toews would be way too expensive for the Jets to trade for, money and cap hit. They couldn't afford to lose Little's LTIR savings. I believe that Chicago will have to take a lot less and even add a sweetener to trade Toews and Keith due to their crazy contracts. Kane is still worth a decent return, but not as much as posted here.

The Jets have Stastny this year and Perfetti coming up after that, so a 2C isn't needed anymore. No chance the Jets give up two good, young players and a first just to get stuck with Toews contract. There is also no need to trade Little.
Same for Edmonton. Why would they give up one of their few good, young top 6 guys to take on a declining 37 year old with a bad cap hit.

Too much from Buffalo as well. 2 good young players and a first for 3 years of Kane? I know it's Buffalo, but that would be a Chiarelli level move.

Not a chance from Edmonton. Also Yamamoto would be playing on the first line. Yamo >> Roslovic.

Forgot to retain on all three Chicago sides. Without retaining, those players are hard to move.
I understand the pedigree of winning they bring, but that's why they got paid. I think the teams are wrong though, Kane would be better in edm. Toews in Buffalo, with Staal on his wing. Keith in wpg (need d much more than wing or centre. ) At least he could help bring up the young d they have.
