I voted no, but wouldnt be to upset if they signed him for a cheap one year contract. The dude had 12 pts in 19 reg season games and 6 pts in 7 playoff games for NYR, with a crap hip. But what is a cheap contract when we`re talking abut Patrick Kane? 5 mill? 3 mill? 1,5 mill?

I noted in OP about using LTIR, I think it would be a unanimous no on a big contract for him so its definitely with the asterisk of him coming cheap and utilizing LTIR while he gets back up to speed after recovering from surgery

Then, yes, I'm all in unless Lafreniere is enthusiastic, and willing, to play RW and is training hard this summer to become a changed man.

A cheap flier on Kane might still be worth it even with the above scenario playing on the 3rd line and PP.

Patrick Kane is the perfect example as of why nominal stats are absolutely not enough to assess any value.

The way you make it look, it sounds Iike he played solid hockey. Dude was absolutely streaky, most of the points were on the PP where we didn't even need much help.
Not much two way game, slow most of the time.
And the playoff stat line is the most ridiculous. He was a no-show in at least 4 games.

And don't gimme the hip injury shit. He was injured? Then why in God's name did we even trade for him to begin with. Yes I know he only wanted to come to NyR Drury and dolan jumped at the PR opportunity.

I agree about the stats. I keep pushing people to look more at impact and less at stats.
He was obviously injured. Hips are a big deal.

This is such a hard answer to give because we don't know what else is going to happen this offseason. I like Kane as a player. I think Kane could provide some serious juice to the depth scoring and the overall level of danger an opposing team feels in any given game. I would lean towards yes.
 
I would rather have Tarashenko. I said the day Drury traded for Kane that the plan was to sign him and LTIR him. A lot can happen between now and next spring. It would only cost money and not cap space.
 
So you'll take a player like 16 tiers worse? That's certainly a take.

Not one for one. It’s not simple remove and replace.

I’m assuming that they would use Panarin’s money to fill other needs. Point is you still need some level of perimeter skill on any team even if you’re going to more of a “heavy” approach. I’d rather have that in the form of a guy who actually shoots for rebounds and will cost half (if not less than half) of what Panarin is making now.

You're galaxy braining.

Choosing between Panarin and Kane is like saying "well I have this day old donut, and it's not that good for me or the freshest, so maybe I'll eat my own hand instead."

I wouldn't sign Motte. After successive deadline deals for him, time to try something else. AFAIR, we've been satisfied mostly with Drury's trade deadline moves the last 2 years. The main idea was to supplement the core. The core didn't deliver and it's not on the deadline guys. Also, you have a new staff, so time to stop with the retreads and give the staff some flexibility with personnel choices depending on how they want the team to play.

Not at all. Because it wouldn't be Kane Vs Panarin, it would be Kane+what you can add with 11.6 (or at least what ever is left over with Kane)vs Panain. one to one, yeah Panarin is the better player (at least until the playoffs) but it wouldn't be 1 to 1.

FWIW, I wouldn't be against moving Panarin and staying away from Kane all together either. There will be other "playmakers" who can be had this summer for cheaper who don't come with health concerns.

The poll is literally asking if we should sign Kane. The answer is no. Stop it.

The only good reason to sign Kane is so we have somebody under 6'0" for you to hate if we get rid of Panarin.

Btw I answered no to the poll. I offered a scenario where I would be okay with it, if all things stay as they are I don't want him back.

And I don't have the size boner you think I do. Hell the guy I want the Rangers to draft tomorrow is 5'9" (Brindley.)

I don't like Panarin because he is massively overpaid, un coachable and can't produce when it matters. That would be the case if he were 6'5" too.

Panarin being gone but Germany brings back Hitler is a scenario you'd be okay with.

I would have stopped rooting for this team if they had hired Q.

Totalllly tracks that I would be all about the resurgence of the third reich if it meant being rid of Panarin.

You need to chill man.
Can we discuss one thing without bringing Panarin into it? That's all I'm saying.

Now that the coach is gone, he's the latest panacea and we have awhile before it becomes Laviolette.
 
The only way this makes sense is you put him on LTIR the entire season and bring him back for the playoffs. But even then you’re bringing back a guy who’s 35 and has a years worth of rust.

Unless he signs a contract so cheap it doesn’t matter, but I don’t imagine he’ll do that

Him signing a 3 million dollar deal and then not being on LTIR the whole season just requires a bunch of cap mechanisms that will be a pain in the ass similar to what they had to do last year

So no, I would pass completely

Just to keep the narative going:

You know we are going to trade for him again next trade deadline.

The Martin Rucinsky Rule.

Rucinsky played for the team in three separate stints. In his last tour with the Rangers, he was a PPG player.

Motte a 3rd time will happen. And we haven't seen the best of Motte. There's more juice to be squeezed yet.
