Patrick Kane does not become a New York Ranger for a few draft picks and a prospect in a three-team trade for financial purposes if things didn’t fall into place the way that they did.
From the Feb. 8, 2018 rebuilding notice signed by Rangers management, the club’s conference final run last season and the shackling no-move clause Chicago’s former general manager Stan Bowman agreed to on Kane’s eight-year, $84 million deal on July 9, 2014, all played an integral part in what will transpire at Madison Square Garden on Thursday night.

Looking around the Eastern Conference, which has become a land mine in recent weeks, the Rangers are just as terrifying as the rest.

A chance to rekindle the type of on-ice chemistry that can only be compared to hockey’s Harlem Globetrotters is just another example of a higher power that was in the works.
The two dynamic forwards will flank Vincent Trocheck, while Vladimir Tarasenko laces up next to the Rangers’ longest tenured skaters, Chris Kreider and Mika Zibanejad.Patrick Kane with Conn Smythe Trophy in 2013There’s a good chance Kane could step right onto the first power-play unit. He’ll be on one of the two at the very least. But there was Tarasenko on Wednesday night reminding us all that he was the first big-name arrival of the season.
After teeing up Zibanejad for the Rangers’ first-period power-play goal, Tarasenko sent the long shot that Kreider tipped in for the game-tying goal in the third period. He later scored the overtime winner
