Report: Top NHL free agent Patrick Kane to sign with the Rangers

Dailyfaceoff.com CEO Frank Seravalli explained on the Morning Cuppa Hockey with Rangers Reporter Jonny Lazarus that after he was traded to the New York Rangers from the Blackhawks, Kane felt there was unfinished business with the team as he was dealing with a major injury to his hip. Kane felt that he left work on the table and let down the New York and New York fans organization with his poor performance.

He has now been reinvigorated after coming off his hip resurfacing surgery that he had done last summer. After extensive rehabilitation, Kane signed with the Detroit Red Wings and played a phenomenal second-half of the year with 50 games under his belt and 47 points.

The Red Wings were fighting for a playoff spot right to the last day of the season and lost by a technicality. Kane was monumental an instrumental in this push.

Many pundits across the league felt that Kane would leave the Detroit Red Wings and head to another team that would be a contender as other teams have been leaked as potential suitors including the Toronto Maple Leafs, Boston Bruins and Buffalo Sabres.

But it appears the Rangers may be the winners of these sweepstakes and only time will tell if Rangers general manager Chris Drury sealed the deal with Kane.
