The Rangers were a mediocre 5v5 team last year, so to improve their team, they add.....a point producer that doesn't drive play at 5v5?

Kane's a good player, without a doubt, but the Rangers don't seem to be lacking what he provides at all.

they need someone who isn't dumb and can play with and/or better than Kreider & Zibanejad whilst also providing the rest of the group with multi-cup winning experience and attitude.
It cannot be stated enough, just how important having guys like Kane and Quick are on a young cup contending team still going through the ups and downs within the window.
