Figured as much. Shouldn’t have traded for him.
Boomer called it
It’s a catch-22. It’s Patrick frickin’ Kane, how do you not trade for him when you’re giving up close to nothing? And yet it’s an injured Kane who can’t perform like Patrick Kane should, why would you waste moves and salary on that and shake the team up? And I fully believe the team was shaken up by him coming in.
I wish we hadn’t gone for him. I don’t think he was a net positive for the team, but at the same time if we didn’t, the *sole* reason people would say we didn’t go farther would be because we didn’t get Kane when we had the chance.
Maybe he owes us a team friendly deal for at least a year. We could of kept Harpur on the ice
Kane didn’t win us the series, but he also wasn’t the reason we lost
Our guys worked 2x as hard to meet cap for him. That meant tired Fox in game 7. Then they let him go on PP and top lines. He messed up our lethal weapon the PP. Remember Kreider saying this ain’t a video game. Hey Larry Brooks, you pushed this you little weasel and then you have the nerve to say « fire gallant ». Done reading his bs
Kane was a supporting player. He wasn’t supposed to be our carry, we have plenty of player for that.
Trying to bump price
Then drury shouldnt have traded for him without a full physical and Gallant shouldnt have been giving him top mins and PP time

Sadly, everyone already knew this, and he still had more points in the playoffs than most other Rangers. They acted like he and Panarin would be good together, but they both fill the same role of guy who wants to pass first and avoid forechecking/backchecking all together.
And still had more points than nearly our entire forward core in the first round lmao. Really says something
Yeah no shit. Washed.
He is 100 percent going to get surgery join a rival in our division and torture us in a playoff series book it .
From carrying satchels of cash?
Kane was far from being our main issue. In fact, at times I’d even say he was the only one able to control the puck and get the puck out of our zone. He shouldn’t have been expected at his age and condition to have been one of our top guys. He was a high end middle fwd for us, not to mention he cost basically nothing.
Still don’t know why people act like we gave up the entire future and current for Kane.
It was a 2nd round pick for Patrick fucking Kane – any GM would make that deal. He performed just fine, and is not the reason for losing.
People in here ripping Kane meanwhile Panarin was an abomination and we will be paying him 11.5m through our entire window. If it still exists.
I’m not saying I want this to happen but doesn’t a looming hip surgery and long recovery actually make some kind of Kane/NYR LTIR cap shenanigans possible? If so that might be part of the reason both sides wanted this to happen so badly
If this was an issue, why did The Rangers trade for him?
Kane and Tarasenko were brought in to be the sprinkles, Mika, Fox (outside of the first two games) and Panarin weren’t the ice cream.
Kane contributed. The problem was that the rangers all deferred to Kane. They all thought he was the answer. And on a team without shooters, giving them all one more reason to think about passing turned out to not be a great move. Hard to not make the trade when Kane was available, but it totally blew up whatever chemistry they had.
I could tell every single shift.
This was obvious the whole time. He needs surgery.
Didnt he have more points than all our other forwards in that series too?
Well Kaner, come back and prove it
A 34 year old Kane wirh a bad hip was still better than most Rangers players.
The trade was a mistake. We needed more of a grinder type than another flashy player. That 0-13 streak for the PP in the middle of the series might have been our downfall
Ok fine but did the rest of the team also have hip injuries?
NO FUCKIN’ SHIT PADDY!!!
Crazy, a player who everyone KNEW was hurt but still traded FOR him and are surprised he didn’t look good ever lol
Really don’t give a shit. If you were hurt, sit.
I have to think that Gallant was not crazy about this move at the deadline. He kinda alludes to this in his post-game press conference where he says talent is great but there also needs to be a work ethic, forecheck, backcheck etc. I know Patrick Kane is a star, but Drury knowingly traded for an INJURED player. Is an injured player gonna forecheck and backcheck? Hell no–they cannot because they cannot play at 100%, they have to choose when to turn it on and when to coast because they’re physically hindered by their injury.
I’m not saying Kane had anything to do with the Rangers losing. But I think Kane’s inability to really fit in with this team is indicative of bigger issues between Gallant and management. This whole season the Rangers’ biggest weakness was sloppy turnovers. Then Drury trades for an offensive-minded forward with no defensive upside (oh and he’s injured). I don’t know how to put it into words but at the trade deadline, I imagine Gallant wasn’t looking for more talent/skill (we already have that in Panarin) but rather hard workers who can win battles.
I heard his ego was acting up too, seems to still be
Imagine dunking an injured individual forward when nobody except Igor showed up
Explains why he didn’t want to take or give a hit, but ultimately that hurt us in the end. Needed a better grinding forward who could retrieve pucks.
No guff chet
Then sit. You sucked
Kane imo played well and was one the few forwards to show up gm7 . I would take him and tarasenko over panarin any day
Could it be a chemistry thing like with deangelo? Like maybe putting players like Patrick Kane in a locker room full of good ol boys might be dick kick to team chemistry?
Kane wasn’t by any means the worst player out there. Which says something considering he played through the known hip issues .
If he really wants to stay here on a team freindly deal I wouldn’t be mad, especially if he gets the surgery he needs. But if that means losing someone like Miller and Laf than I’d be a little upset.
We knew that before we got him I thought.
Multiple rangers didnt show up, at least he had somewhat of a pulse during the playoffs.
Absolutely disgusting performance by this team.
it was glaringly obvious
no shit
That’s my thought
Kane was brought over to be helpful playoff experience. Wanted out of Chicago. Hell Chicago just said they are not singing their captain.
With that said I go to work every day , Ive had my right hip replacement . eventually my left as well.
Everyone one bitching about hip HAVE NO DAMN IDEA!!!
