Confirmed with Link: Rangers acquire Patrick Kane, Cooper Zech for 2023 2nd (Becomes 1st in 2024 or 2025 if NYR Make ECF), 2025 4th, A. Welinski; Condt'l 2025 3rd to AZ

[Circus86]

I hope Kane can teach laf and Kaapo a thing or two about scoring goals.

It's quite telling that Chicago didn't want Kravtsov in a package for Kane

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

You gave me a real response to the question to Vince on Twitter, appreciate you taking my question in good faith!

Twitter can be a terrible place sometimes. Just ask questions here next time LOL

 

[pld459666]

He lost some money out of the paper moves, right? How is he going to be compensated?

Ice time.

Plus, you don't give away Andy Welinski for someone you don't need.

Why?

Who the fug is Andy Welinski?

I was sarcasming about Welinski.

He’s gonna be better than Kravtsov and Gretzky combined. So … a fourth liner.

You're right about that, because if you really did combine Kravtsov and Gretzky, all of Kravtsov's lack of anything would negate all of Gretzky's good at everything.

I assumed he meant Brent Gretzky.

Bingo.

Why are people saying Kane is a bad guy? What happened?

Sometimes?

 

[mike14]

Why are people saying Kane is a bad guy? What happened?

Most likely some combo of:
Punched a cabbie
Was involved in a sexual assault allegation; that was thrown out/never went to trial
was wearing an A (I think), and part of the Blackhawks team that all turned a blind eye to the Kyle Beach assault

 

[mas0764]

I asked Vince that on Twitter, and I was accused of crying for a millionaire by a very pleasant fellow. Twitter is one of the worst places on Earth, probably right behind the NYPOST comment section.

That’s the internet in general.

His shitty acting ruined Star Wars.

Jar Jar Binks is awesome, shut up!

 

[Cmox]

Rangers fans even super pumped in philthy

 

[Chytilmania]

I was too, but when I saw the quote it struck me as a kid who sees the bigger picture. Which was nice, he doesn't seem slighted by it at all.

Which is why he deserves a little bonus!

 

[redwhiteandblue]

Haha fair enough. I have a feeling the boys probably even helped him out, put some on the board for Braden.

Which is why he deserves a little bonus!

MSL won the Art Ross the season before we traded for him...

I’m not saying he was a bad player by any means. I just don’t think MSL was as good then as Kane is now. I’m also a huge MSL fan if that accounts for anything.

I know, it just seemed like you were basing the fact that Kane is better based on his prior year statistics, and I am just pointing out it was the same situation for MSL. For the record, I also think Kane is better now than MSL when we acquired him.

I don't even think its about "who" is better. It's more about what the team "needed" back then with MSL, opposed to quite maybe that we didn't "need" Kane now.
No doubt adding those types of players, certainly instills a little more confidence throughout the team. I am now, truly excited to see him regularly and what he will bring to our team. He doesn't have to be a superstar, just do the Kane things he does.

This is a fair assessment. The 2013-14 team was certainly starved for offense compared to the current team.

If Panarin and Trocheck keep playing the way they have recently, then adding Kane to that line is simply going to be electric. There were 2-3 times yesterday that Goodrow should have scored from beautiful plays those 2 were creating.

Devils vs Piles
NYR vs CAR

 

[Leonardo87]

Looked like his first game on a new team for the first time in his career. Can’t really judge after one Game. Man, he had that once chance late In the game, Garden would have erupted if he scored there.

The islanders are not passing the pens.
Also Ottawa is legit. If they can get even half way decent goaltending they are better than the NYI
