Patrick Kane May Get His Wish After All..
Earlier this month we seen the New York Rangers make a surprising blockbuster trade acquiring Vladimir Tarasenko from the St Louis Blues, after all the rumours that Kane's top destination was the Rangers, Kane showed his disappointment in interviews regarding New York acquiring Tarasenko.
Kane was very disappointed after the trade at the time but Kane may actually get some good news after all, according to New York Rangers Hockey Insider Larry Brooks the Rangers are looking to still try to acquire Kane still but there's a catch.
The Rangers General Manager Chris Drury is trying to dump Vitali to either a trade or place him on waivers to hope he's picked up to gather more cap space to try to acquire Kane.
More from Brooks:
"Making like the stand-in President Bill Mitchell at the cabinet meeting in the movie, «Dave,» you take that, add it to the original $909,000, that gives you around $2.9 million, you get the Blackhawks to retain half of Kane's $10.5 million cap hit, you get another team to take half of the resulting $5.25 million and voila, Kane's ultimate cap charge becomes $2.625 million that fits and welcome to Broadway, No. 88.
Then, of course, there are the assets the Rangers would have to sacrifice in order to get this done. There is absolutely zero appetite within the hierarchy to move the club's remaining first-rounder in this year's draft, and the same hands-off edict will apply to Brennan Othmann, Will Cuylle and the club's blue-chippers.
It would be a challenge to get it done, though if Kane audibly disappointed upon learning that the Blueshirts had acquired Tarasenko tells Chicago he would waive the no-move only for a trade to the Rangers, the cost could become manageable.
If Kravtsov clears, that would be a benefit in itself by putting him in the position to get consistent top-line work with the Wolf Pack. That would prepare him if the Rangers need the winger in the playoffs because of injuries.
But if claimed, it is not as if the Blueshirts would have lost him for nothing. In essence, they would have traded him for $2 million in cap spaceand the chance of adding Patrick K"

This would be something alright.. if Drury could get Kane along with already acquiring Tarasenko? The Rangers could definitely be the team to beat in the Eastern Conference. Kane may get his chance at a Stanley Cup.
