Seravalli no longer needs to prove himself as an insider in the NHL, and according to his report, the Canadiens will make an offer to Patrick Kane if he is not signed by the Red Wings.
While Steven Stamkos' name is on everyone's lips and barring a huge surprise, he will likely play elsewhere than Tampa Bay next season, it could indeed be Patrick Kane who ends up with the Habs.
Jeff Gorton had mentioned that the team aims to make the playoffs this year and they won't hesitate to make big acquisitions.
Kane played with Kirby Dach in Chicago, and he openly criticized the organization's decision to trade him. He himself left a few months later.
Last year, Kane accumulated 47 points in 50 games with the Red Wings, after missing the first half of the season due to surgery. That's very solid given the circumstances.
In any case, he belongs to the category of players who will consistently score a point per game well into their late thirties.
