Eklund: Rangers Working Hard to Acquire Patrick Kane (e4)

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

Since Tarasenko and Panarin are friends and Kane and Panarin are friends, are Tarasenko and Kane Friends? Inquiring minds want to know. Ha ha

Bruins traded for Hathaway & Orlov.

hard to say they will be friends, the Blues Hawks rivalry to now a rivalry to play with Panarin sounds like a love triangle

Puck the Rangers! That’s what I say

Thought for sure the Bruins/Caps deal would show up as an E5

looks like Gavrikov isn't going to the Bruins after all.

Either he's been mailing it in all season, or he started taking a lot of Toradol or some other high potency pain killer.

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

I just looked that up and found 2 references. I’m not sure wether to laugh at this or not, oh well. Ha ha ha ha

They’ll all sit together and play patty cake. Kane is the patty and the other two are jer………

Kane’s agent said nothings been decided

And how exactly do you know Kane is a crap person? Because of the taxi incident when he was very young? Actually, you can’t be further from the truth. Kane has done an outstanding job maturing over the years and all his teammates love him now, as well as in his younger years. Can’t stand ignorant people that don’t actually know facts and just hate on people. Don’t be a tool!

Very well said!

What a dumb comment.

Also very well said, just much shorter and to the point!

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.

Get back to me when you have facts!

I'd be willing to bet Kane ends up in Vegas or Tampa.

Rangers need a 200 foot player who can score a greasy goal. Not Kane. It doesn't make sense. I think Drury is messing with people when he says "Never say never." Re; Kane.

Very well said!

I give you guys a shot at standing up for hard working medical doctors and you can’t see through your Blackhawks’ glasses. Test failed.

That might be relevant if the players they recently acquired/looking to acquire weren't rentals. The lone exception might be Mikkola, but he's not the type of player you're referring to.
