It would be hard to keep both him and Tarasenko. Rangers are smart to load up this year before the extensions to Miller and Laf kick in. They'd have to move Goodrow without retained salary unless Kane or Tarasenko will play for pocket change.

I don't think tarasenko will take pennies given his age. I think the rangers traded for him with pure intentions of him being a rental only. I also think they would have preferred kane from day 1 but didn't want to miss out completely if kane decided to stay in Chicago or his hip was more of an issue

I don’t see the Kravtsov trade as a throw away trade anymore. In the end it was more like a 4 team trade so they could afford and get Kane
- TPC

I've always been a big fan of Kravtsov and was agitated he didn't get more of a chance. However, I'm happy they moved on and don't care about the return (and as you said, no kane without moving him). Hope he finds his way in vancouver

Sure you could get a knock off one from China delivered by tomorrow lol

Nah lol

Don’t see the rangers making anymore deals. You never know with druey. Despite the critics he has done a good job putting this team in a position to win the cup. Still concern that they may not be able to add any grit unless they used coolie when playoffs begin, but who do you sit.

Whoa, I wonder what else is in that trade package.

On another note, FINALLY a team in the west makes a splash.

Sick and tired of all these East teams stacking up.

yeah going to be the royal rumble to get out of the east.

Unless someone goes on IR they can’t make any moves I am pretty sure. It’s a big reason they can only carry 21 players now the rest of the season lol

Yea he was a big driving force in this trade. From everything I have been reading he always intended to retire and play his whole career in Chicago. It’s been tough on him to make this decision to leave. The fact that he only wanted the rangers just makes me believe they will find a way to resign him year end.

I know he is having a down year and may have lost a step but maybe it’s just me but you are a 14 year veteran used to playing in important games year in and year out and now you were stuck on a team clearly tanking in a rebuild with little talent around you. Yea he is human, might not be as easy to get up for each game and give it 110%. Really think the playoff push will motivate him again
- TPC

Have to think Drury had conversations with his agent about staying in NY for at least another year. Hopefully Kane looks at his time in Chicago as his payday and signs here on the super cheap for a year or two. Other players in his position have signed for a million to help the team he signed with, why not Kane?

Just use masking tape and a sharpie on the nameplate.

That's such a good trade for the Kings.

Some guys use DH Gate and are happy.

True, but the rangers are very secretive about Lind. Teams will be targeting that shoulder if he doesn’t come back 100%

YMMV with DH Gate but it can't hurt to look. I have seen some decent examples from there.

Might want to check out Hockey Authentic in Canada. Not sure if they ship to the UK but they are of the highest quality.

You guys completely fleeced Chicago.

Last year, Claude Giroux made it know that he ONLY wanted to play for the Panthers. And they Panthers still gave up a 1st round pick and a former first rounder (Owen Tippett) for him as a rental. I would have expected AT LEAST the same for Kane, especially since Philadelphia has the league's worst GM.
- jmatchett383

I think the Rangers would have walked away from a higher price. We are pretty good without Kane too. How can anyone not be happy with Kane at this price!

Deal will be announced later this morning by #CBJ and #LAKings, but told the deal is this:

To #LAKings:
D Vladislav Gavrikov
G Joonas Korpisalo

To #CBJ:
G Jonathan Quick
First-round pick
Third-round pick

Kings going from some of the worst goaltending in the league, to average is such a bump for them.

Why playing for a bottom dweller in Columbus sounds awesome after living in LA
