NHL fans are abuzz with the news of Patrick Kane's return to the Chicago Blackhawks, the team he led to a Stanley Cup championship in 2015. However, the 34-year-old forward's decision to rejoin the Blackhawks brings to mind a similar story from 2011, when the Pittsburgh Penguins attempted to lure back legendary winger Jaromir Jagr with a lucrative offer. Jagr, a Penguins icon during his first stint with the team, rejected the deal and instead signed with the Philadelphia Flyers, citing a desire to stay closer to home. Now, as Kane returns to the Windy City, questions arise about the motivations behind his decision and whether it will yield the same results as Jagr's ill-fated return attempt.
