Kane has always left a lot wanting in terms of being a good human being. Outstanding hockey player, poopty person, ever since his life was on the radar. Some people grow up, Kane, according to multiple reports of misbehaviour, never did. Some hockey players that are phenoms early in life are outstanding human beings despite the odd upbringing and early accolades, others never are… I’m pretty sure Kane’s an absolute piece of garage as a person and, as unfounded in this knowledge that I am, it is likely his A hole confidence is why he is as great as he is (just like many successful business people, politicians and lawyers AND doctors, etc) - he cares nothing of others (most - not all - doctors don’t either, they have high IQs and steady hands, and are there for the money) but… if I’m looking to win a cup… or looking for some expert heart surgery / welcome aboard you self aggrandizing Phux

Not everyone can be a drunk driver like ROR

Good for Kane and NYR.

But why is he still happy to go there is he was publicly fuming just a few days ago after the Tarasenko trade. Is he ok with being Rangers 2nd choice?

Also what’s up with the sudden offensive burst (10 pts in 4 games)? He’s virtually doubled his goal output for the year. Did he need to get his feelings hurt before he remembered how to play? I get that he has a hip injury and I was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt but I don’t appreciate what this says about his personality.
And yes I do think he is first ballot HOF legend material that any team would love to have …. Something about this just doesn’t taste right to me

The good news is I don't think Kane gives a rats ass what you appreciate and what you don't.

Omg--- are you serious? SMH

What a dumb comment.

Agreed

I wonder if Kane for Tarasenko has any legs? Was also thinking the Bruins will flip Orlov to someone else before the deadline to make room for Gavrikov?

Yeah Rangers always get the players that want to play for them but some of them don't want to really PLAY for the Rangers, they just want to play in NYC. Make the "big time." Live in the Big Apple. As soon as they show up, their careers take a nosedive. I would pass on Kane if I were Drury. He will be your 3RW and he won't be happy there. He'll pout. Be a distraction. More is not always better.

So, you figure they'll just leave Jimmy Vesey on the top line over Kane, eh?
Vesey has been outstanding this time around, but I doubt even he would think that is right.
I have not even been in favour of this trade, actually. But, it seems that Drury might actually pull it off without giving away the store given the situation, which was my fear.
This would actually really solidify our 4 lines. Hopefully, allowing them to shift focus to defense, because we've been rather disjointed on that front lately. Not the defensive line up, but team defense.
And God forbid someone should get hurt!!!
