from Larry Brooks of the New York Post,
his was a case of divine intervention and a trade by immaculate conception. This was the way it was meant to be. Artemi Panarin and Patrick Kane back together again. Patrick Kane on Broadway.
These are the Rangers and they make no apologies for it. They are the Broadway Blueshirts and they are going for it in their own inimitable fashion.
There has never been a trade deadline quite like this one in which one Eastern power after another has loaded up, mostly at the expense of weak Western clubs. The Maple Leafs have added toughness cubed. The Lightning added another dollop of bottom-six sandpaper at an exorbitant price in an effort to win it again. The Devils acquired perhaps the best player on the market. The Bruins bolstered an otherwise powerhouse lineup. In other news, even the Islanders took a swing for the fences.
And the Rangers … the Rangers simply got the biggest name with the biggest résumé even if we all know that the winger is not 21 or 25 or 29 anymore. They got a triple Stanley Cup winner who has spent a career thriving under the spotlight and scoring important postseason goals.
Toronto got a 1st round pick back....traded Rasmus Sandin to the Caps. Doesn't clear much space but could give them enough to get a rental like Jensen.
NEW YORK, February 28, 2023 New York Rangers President and General Manager Chris Drury announced today that the team has acquired forward Patrick Kane in a three-team deal involving the Chicago Blackhawks and Arizona Coyotes. Details of the trade are below:
Kane, 34, has skated in 54 games with the Blackhawks this season, tallying 16 goals and 29 assists for 45 points, including 10 points (7G-3A) over his last four contests. On Chicago, Kane ranks second in assists, goals, and points. He ranks tied for first on the club in power play points (18).
A three-time Stanley Cup champion, Kane has totaled 446 goals and 779 assists for 1,225 points in 1,161 games across 16 seasons with Chicago. He is one of 31 players in NHL history who have tallied 1,200+ points and have averaged 1.00+ points per game. Of the 31, 24 are in the Hockey Hall of Fame, and among the seven who are not, he, Sidney Crosby, Alex Ovechkin, and Evgeni Malkin are not yet eligible for induction as active players. Among American-born skaters in NHL history, Kane ranks fourth in assists, third in points, and seventh in goals. He has accumulated more assists and points than any other American-born player did through their first 16 NHL seasons in league history. Among all NHL skaters since his debut in 2007-08, he has posted the second most assists, third most points and fourth most goals.
Over his career, the Buffalo, New York native has accumulated major regular season NHL awards, including the Hart Memorial Trophy (2015-16 the first American to win), Art Ross Trophy (2015-16 also the first American to win), Ted Lindsay Award (2015-16), and Calder Memorial Trophy (2007-08). Kane is one of 10 players to win the Hart Trophy, Art Ross Trophy and Conn Smythe Trophy (along with Wayne Gretzky, Mario Lemieux, Bobby Orr, Sidney Crosby, Alex Ovechkin, Jean Beliveau, Guy Lafleur, Bryan Trottier, Evgeni Malkin). In addition, he is one of six players in NHL history who have won the Hart, Art Ross, Conn Smythe, and Calder Trophy in their careers (along with Mario Lemieux, Bobby Orr, Bryan Trottier, Alex Ovechkin, and Evgeni Malkin). Of those six players, Kane, Trottier, and Malkin are the only ones who have also won 3+ Stanley Cups. He has also been named to the NHL First All-Star Team three times (2010, 2016, 2017) and selected to nine NHL All-Star Games (2009, 2011, 2012, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020). In 2017, Kane was named to the 100 Greatest NHL Players list in celebration of the leagues 100th season, a list in which only five active NHL players were named to.
In 2015-16, Kane set career-highs in goals (46) while recording his second most points (110), and third most assists (60) along the way to his Hart Trophy. During that campaign, he posted a 26-game point streak, the 11th-longest in NHL history and the longest by an active NHL player. The only players with longer point streaks in NHL history are Wayne Gretzky (4x), Mario Lemieux (2x), Mats Sundin, Steve Yzerman, Guy Lafleur, and Paul Coffey.
The 5-10, 177 pound forward has played in 136 playoff games, notching 52 goals and 80 assists for 132 points. Since the 2009 Stanley Cup Playoffs, he ranks tied for fourth in points, tied for fifth in goals, fifth in assists and tied for second in game-winning goals (11). In 2010, he guided the Blackhawks to their first Stanley Cup in 49 years with a postseason career-high 18 assists and 28 points. Kane has scored five career playoff overtime goals, which are tied for the third most in NHL history (Joe Sakic 8; Maurice Richard 6; tied with Corey Perry and Glenn Anderson). Of the five he has scored, three have ended playoff series, which included his Cup-winning goal in Game 6 against Philadelphia in 2010 (also Game 5 of Western Conference Final against Los Angeles in 2013 and Game 6 of Second Round against Minnesota in 2014). In addition, his eight career playoff overtime points are tied for fourth-most in NHL history and has the most playoff overtime points among active players. With Chicago, the team held an 80-56 record in Kanes 136 postseason games.
Internationally, Kane has represented the United States at several tournaments, including two Olympics (2010, 2014), two World Championships (2018, 2019) and the 2016 World Cup of Hockey.
Kane was originally selected by the Blackhawks in the first round, first overall, in the 2007 NHL Entry Draft.
