News broke before the March 3rd trade deadline that the New York Rangers have acquired Vladimir Tarasenko from the St.Louis Blues, limiting the chances of the Rangers still getting Patrick Kane, who was not too thrilled about them going with Tarasenko over him.
The Rangers did make it work, they acquired Patrick Kane for next to nothing and fleeced the Chicago Blackhawks, but there's one developing issue. Patrick Kane is getting very minimal ice time and isn't given an opportunity to contribute as he should.
Kane has been demoted to the 3rd line
Panarin - Zib - Tarasenko Kreider - Trocheck - Kakko Laf - Chytil - Kane Vesey - Goodrow - Motte

We hope the Rangers continue to succeed so Patrick Kane has a shot at another Stanley Cup, but we do hope he gets more ice time.
