Confirmed Trade: [NYR/CHI/ARI] Kane (@25%) and Zech to NYR; Welinski, Saarijarvi, ‘23 2nd (top 10 prot ‘24 1st if NYR make ECF), ‘25 4th to CHI; c. ‘25 3rd to ARI

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Some value, similar to the Hall trade. If only one team is involved it is what it is.

 

[JTToilinginToronto]

What a joke.

 

[herashak]

Worse return than Iginla, damnmnnn

 

[Gardner McKay]

Who is the 3rd team

Vancouver.

 

[JKG33]

Oh I sure hope the Devils beat the Rangers in the 1st rd

 

[BayStBullies]

Teams need to stop pretending they gave away worse returns. There is no such thing as a conditional 2nd that can become a 1st. That is a conditional 1st. Setting two standards is confusing for everyone.

 

[stl76]

Silly hawks fans thinking they’d get a kings ransom after Kane had a couple hot games

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Let's f***ing go

 

[mouser]

When you have a NMC you get to pick your location.

 

[Brodeur]

That's it?

Not much you can do if the player uses his NTC and limits the field. Ie, Taylor Hall only netting a 2nd (and a bad contract) for Buffalo a few years back since he only wanted to go to Boston.

Oh I sure hope the Devils beat the Rangers in the 1st rd

Saves us a 1st round pick

 

[BayStBullies]

Not even a 1st? Shame

It's a conditional 1st. Teams need to stop with this crap.

 

[CupofOil]

Seravelli just texted this while he was doing an interview on an Edmonton radio station. What a beast

 

[Love]

Remember when Kane was crying last week about the Tarasenko trade

 

[SelltheTeamFrancesco]

Condition is probably making the conference final similar to Meier deal

 

[Hierso]

What did some of you expect? Kane pretty much only had rangers left as to where he wanted to go and the rangers knew it. So it was either a small return or nothing for Chicago.

 

[le_sean]

What a coup by the Rangers. Advanced analytics be damned, he’s clearly been playing disinterested hockey because of how ass Chicago is. I think he turns it on big time in NY

 

[Mickey Marner]

Rangers played their hand well, used the leverage of Kane's NMC to make the Hawks chase after them.

 

[MasterMatt25]

IS the 3rd team Montreal, Vancouver or Minnesota?

 

[GeeoffBrown]

Teams need to stop pretending they gave away worse returns. There is no such thing as a conditional 2nd that can become a 1st. That is a conditional 1st. Setting two standards is confusing for everyone.

I would call it a conditional 2nd if it is more likely to be a 2nd than a 1st

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

Tough spot for Davidson. At least he got something.

 

[TheReelChuckFletcher]

Come on, folks. We all knew the Kane return would be dogshit when it was determined that he would only play for the Rangers. It's as if people just forgot about the Taylor Hall to Boston saga. If a player has a NMC and only wants to play for one team, expect a limited return. Nothing that Chicago could do here.

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

This is just going to tear the team apart. Panarin's going to have to decide who he's better friends with, Tarasenko or Kane.

 

[LemmyUlanov55]

Loaded offense for the Rangers, will be fun to watch..

 

[pld459666]

Hope the condition is a 2nd this year or a 1st next (2024)
