Speculation: So where does Patrick Kane end up now?

[The Crypto Guy]

This is pretty much the confirmation, he's going to NYR.

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

Rangers getting Kane for free is a coup

Drury should be GM of year contender

We don't even know what the deal is...

 

[Michoulicious]

This is pretty much the confirmation, he's going to NYR.

Everybody knows it but some delusional Hawks fan that think Kane is open to go to another team even if that is clearly not the case.

Kane is already a Ranger.

Get Kane to the choppa

 

[Spring in Fialta]

Yeah, he's a Ranger.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Jones + 4th + LeShitStain is sadly my guess for what Hawks get

Hope I am very wrong and sadly could see them getting worse then that package

 

[clydesdale line]

Ugh this f***ing hurts as a Hawks fan. I hope Kane comes back next year. Best of luck to him and the Rangers. You guys are getting a playoff assassin (as a fan, I can't wait to see what he does when the bright lights are on). Still though Toews and Kane... the end of an era (yea Toews is still around but he's likely retiring at the end of the season at this point and may not play again).

I’ve been disappointed by this franchise so many times in my life. I’ll be truly excited if the trade is announced.

Am I missing something, or are you simply trying to expect the worst so you can be happy when the Hawks get a decent return?

I think Chicago gets at least a 2nd rounder + Kravtsov + prospect for Kane at 50%.

 

[5cotland]

I recon 1st rounder (Hopefully 2024), Kravtsov & Jones / Robertson (maybe Leschyshyn for contract purposes)

I know exactly how you feel, this is giving me PTSD from when MSL requested a trade to the Rangers. I could never bring myself to cheer for them, it just felt so wrong.

 

[10YearsAfter]

Kane showing his gratitude to Blackhawks or should it be Blackhawk fans response to Kane

The Rangers were my pick for the cup even before Kane. After Kane, well, they are the obvious favorites to win it all, even in front of Boston IMO.

Kravtsov + Jones + 2nd ( becomes a 1st if Rangers make the Stanley Cup Final)

 

[Sol]

The one person who still follows Eklund I see

 

[Canadian Canuck]

I could predict that too…

 

[Putt Pirate]

And the best part is that it doesn't matter as Kane wants to be on the Rangers.

Look. Chicago overplayed their hand. Rangers made an offer for Kane, Chicago turned it down.

Rangers went and spent on Tarasenko, Motte and Mikkola.

Chicago talked to Kane and realized there is only 2 options. Rangers or nothing. Rangers already showed they are fine with nothing.

Now Chicago is coming hat in hand.

It is what it is. But from all report,s this is the situation.

Hawks didn’t ‘overplay their hand’ as you said. Kane told the team he would decide in the current timeframe back in December. I am assuming they have been working towards this for quite some time regardless of the Tank trade.

 

[Leafs87]

E5?

Had no idea he was still kicking around

 

[Sota Popinski]

At least Pagnotta owns up to it when he whiffs

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

So he declares it after we all at HF have been waiting for hours for trade we have known about and real insiders have said is happening

 

[miscs75]

It’s Eklund, he probably still has the Flyers squeaking in for a wild card.

 

[LOFIN]

That would mean all 3 of Kravtsov, Lechyshyn and Harpur have to be moved today as well. Otherwise the Rangers have to wait until the deadline to accumulate cap space, right?

It’s Eklund, he probably still has the Flyers squeaking in for a wild card.

Truth to be told though, all of the insiders have been indicating something is going down. I don't think they would do that if it's just a handshake deal waiting for a week to be put into action.

 

[DFC]

Calling this an Eklund rumor is a bit of a stretch. Could call it a DFC rumor, since I'm pretty sure he and I have all the same "sources" (i.e., twitter) at this point.
