Patrick Kane: our analysis
2025-26 season: 67 GP, 16 G, 41 A, 57 PTS, -1 +/-, 17:42 TOI. WAR -0.1 (450th of 615) · PAL 41, around average.
In 2025-26, Patrick Kane, 37, posts a PAL Rating of 41 out of 100 (around average), and his WAR of -0.1 ranks 450th among 615 regulars, in the bottom half.
His strengths: power play (92, among the best in the league), offense (83, well above average) and possession (63, above average). On the other hand, defense (2, among the weakest in the league) and penalty kill (21, well below average) hold him back.
Breaking down his WAR (goals above average), his biggest contribution: power play (+1.8); his biggest cost: EV defense (-3.8).
A clear step forward: his PAL went from 16 in 2024-25 to 41; his WAR, though, went from 0.7 to -0.1.
Contract-wise, his Value score of 35 (poor return) weighs his output against what he costs: 50 is what that salary should buy.
Patrick Kane's story
Growing up in Buffalo, Patrick Kane practised stick-handling from a young age and widened his hockey education at a camp run by Darryl Belfry, who Kane credits with sharpening his playmaking instincts. As a teenager he left home to play for Honeybaked in Detroit, living with a former NHLer and posting prodigious numbers that caught the eye of junior clubs and scouts.
Kane spent two seasons in the U.S. National Team Development Program, leading the squad with 102 points in 2005–06, before joining the London Knights in 2006–07. In his lone OHL season he totalled 145 points in 58 games, earned rookie honours and topped CHL scoring charts — performances that helped secure his selection as the first overall pick at the 2007 NHL Entry Draft.
He made his NHL debut on October 4, 2007, and won the Calder Trophy as rookie of the year in 2008. Kane became a central figure in Chicago’s rise: he scored the overtime winner in Game 6 of the 2010 Stanley Cup Final, played a starring role in the Blackhawks’ championships of 2013 and 2015 — including a Conn Smythe Trophy in 2013 — and produced elite individual seasons, notably 2015–16 when he captured both the Hart Memorial Trophy and the Art Ross Trophy. Over the 2010s he led the league in scoring and set records for American-born point and assist totals.
Internationally, Kane represented the United States at the 2010 and 2014 Winter Olympics. His career also includes a brief spell in Switzerland during the 2012–13 NHL lockout and later stints away from Chicago, including time with the New York Rangers and with Detroit.
Kane’s game is defined by creative vision and offensive versatility: a natural passer who can finish and who has repeatedly produced in decisive moments. That blend of playmaking and scoring earned him the nickname "Showtime" and established him among the era’s most productive forwards.
