Sharpshooter Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 That ship has sailed. I wonder if he'd just go back to Detroit? Original Six, up and coming team, DeBrincat there. Although, he does want to be on a contender, and the Red Wings aren't quite there yet. It is a good fit for him, though. Maybe a team like Dallas or something.

Because you're excited to get older, slower, and stay soft-skill only? Count me out. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rangers1994 Posted June 18 Author Share Posted June 18 If the purpose of signing Kane would be to use him as another ornament, then the Rangers should just use the money to strengthen their team defense and physicality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d love to get a young, big, 20 year old who’s fast and can score 25-30 goals. Fact of the matter is if that guy existed, we likely couldn’t afford him. That line needs a puck transporter. Kane can alleviate Zibanejad from having to make zone entries. He can also produce. Is it the most ideal? Absolutely not. But if we need to be a bit frugal cap wise, not the worst option. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nor do they need more high end talent that doesn’t go to the dirty areas. What they are need are guys who can play in the playoffs. Pretty sure this fella can.

That entire line will move like a snail. It's the hardest of passes from me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last summer we needed to build a team capable of beating the Devils, who weren't even in the playoffs this season. Edited June 19 by Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The goal is to get better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 The goal is to get better. And every year, the better teams are bigger, faster, stronger, not older, slower, soft-skill only. I have no doubt Kane would do fine in the regular season, but I have very reason to doubt that the outcome won't meaningfully change in the post season if they don't meaningfully change their composition.

Sharpshooter Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 Kane was good for us in the postseason when he was healthy, but I know what you mean. lol I think it's a senseless topic, and really has no chance of happening. Although my Kane fandom still wouldn't complain if it did, despite completely understanding your points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 They lost because of how they're built. If they run into a team who takes the middle of the ice away again — a high likelihood given Florida and Boston still exist — the same thing is gonna happen again. If you change nothing, nothing will change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpshooter Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 If that Florida series wasn't a wake-up call, I don't know what will be. They've been built the same for a few years now, and it's been basically the same problem over and over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrooksBurner Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 (edited) I’ve said it before, I’m good with Kane if Panarin is traded. Soft for soft, but LW for RW is a plus, and Kane has a proven track record in the playoffs while Panarin has…not that. Kane can offset a good amount of Panarin’s lost production. You just can’t have both because it’s too much of the same style on this team. Be a cutthroat, Drury. Make it uncomfortable at the very least.

Sharpshooter Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 I think Drury has already shown he means business with the Goodrow situation. Even if it's maybe more of a no-brainer kind of thing, but still. He's definitely not done. Panarin isn't getting traded, though. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not advocating for Kane. Do I think he’s worth a look and some consideration? Sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpshooter Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 The team is a contender, and I think he would want to run it back here after last season's disappointment. But, yeah, I really don't think it's going to happen even though it checks some boxes for him. I think a team like Dallas is a more likely destination.
