One team in particular stands out the most and that is the New York Rangers, but why do they stand out? The Rangers have a strong group of forwards, and the Rangers organization prioritizes their happiness and makes sure they all stay together. On the other hand, Patrick Kane's best friend Artemi Panarin who was traded away by the Blackhawks management years ago, is on the Rangers himself.
Things quickly went down the drain just the other day whenever the New York Rangers acquired Vladimir Tarasenko from the St.Louis Blues in a blockbuster trade, meaning the Rangers no longer have cap space to acquire Kane, who was clearly hoping to head there.
This is a big road block in Kane leaving Chicago, which is unfortunate for him, but good for Blackhawks fans.
