08:23 AM ET 10.17 | Add versatility to Patrick Kane's already impressive skill set. [So] far Kane is excelling in general manager Stan Bowman's experiment to move the 22-year-old from right wing to the middle. Through the first four games of the season, Kane has been arguably the Hawks' best center. The sample size isn't all that large, but Kane is leading his team in scoring with two goals and four assists for six points and is tied for tops on the Hawks with a plus-3, a good indicator that he's holding up his end defensively. It doesn't end there as Kane has won 56.7 percent of his faceoffs, better than teammate Jonathan Toews (54.4 percent), who took the second-most draws in the league last season.

The Kane experiment. Sounds like the title of a '50s sci-fi movie.

"Kane is excelling in general manager Stan Bowman's experiment to move the 22-year-old from right wing to the middle."
That experiment will come to an abrupt end the very first time he tries to come down the middle over the blue line with his head down.
KAH-BOOOOMMM!!!! No more Kane!

It's the one where they take the 98 lb weakling that looks like a girl and turn him into a pencil-necked geek with a Napolean complex. Bombed at the box office.
Canuck eh?

Who was it that beat the Hawks in the playoffs last season?

Kane is very flexible. He has now taken to roughing up limo drivers in addition to cabbies.

Hey. I resemble that remark! Why do you think I chose Napolean as my avatar (for now)?

I don't want to say Kane's small and a pansy but here he's pictured with Gary Coleman.

Patrick Kane's such a big dude, they could only fit his fist (holding some kind of flag?) into the picture!

Or Collateral Damage, the one where he takes a cab driver hostage.

Or a 70's rock band like the Alan Parsons Project, which I believe was some sort of hovercraft.

Hey, hey, he may have been a minus for the year, and he may not have been the best defenseman last year but...I forget how I was defending this.

Well he's really old, and he's still pretty good... And he used to be REALLY good... And we don't know if he's coming back next year... And hell, he's won it so many times the engraver's gotten just awesome at stampin' his name onto that trophy...
