[Alex Jones]

A second and a fourth. Really? Brutal

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Where did this forced Showtime nickname come from? I hate it so much.

hm

guess davidson isnt as almighty as some people thought

good for the rangers though, theyre not messing around at all

 

[AHLdepth]

IS the 3rd team Montreal, Vancouver or Minnesota?

Widely speculated to be Vancouver

 

[Zwui21]

… that… doesn’t seem like a good return for Kane…

Kane held all the cards and made it pretty clear he only wanted to go to the Rangers (or 1 other team). So no leverage for the Hawks to get much in return

 

[IslesNorway]

Rangers always get their players on the cheap.

 

[BHD]

Keep in mind, he's no longer in his prime. Perhaps teams realized that...

 

[Stealth1616]

Man rangers have a super team

 

[Atoyot]

IS the 3rd team Montreal, Vancouver or Minnesota?

Pretty obviously Vancouver. That's why the Rangers gave them Kravtsov.

 

[PajamaBoy]

All this to get bounced in first round. Gallant is ass and will f*** this up 100.

 

[ref19]

… that… doesn’t seem like a good return for Kane…

It’s the only place he’d agree to go. Hawks were backed into a corner.

 

[Zats Muccarello]

I really hope the condition is winning the cup

 

[Guffman]

Stop complaining about the trade compensation. It's not like Kane is as good as... uh... Tanner Jeannot.

 

[hotpaws]

any other insider confirming the return ? not saying Seravelli is wrong but he's not the most trusted insider imo

 

[Sheppy]

It’s the only place he’d agree to go. Hawks were backed into a corner.

Fair enough.

But man…

 

[nightonthesun]

Remember when Kane was crying last week about the Tarasenko trade

And then he gets his way anyway. What’s not to like about this guy?

 

[Canadian Game]

Elliotte Friedman has been saying for at least the past week that the return for Patrick Kane will likely be underwhelming, considering he’s in the driver’s seat.

There’s the underwhelming return. Let’s not be surprised.

 

[CupofOil]

It must be really easy to be a GM in New York. Players just falling into their lap left and right.

 

[MMC]

 

[CapspaceKiller]

That damn eastern conference arms race. Wow

 

[Kristopher Letang]

The Rangers have one of the dopest lineup right now. I guess i’ll enjoy every play and just die inside when reality hits me that it was a Rangers goal smh

 

[theaub]

Honestly if the Hawks end up with a 1st out of this its more than I thought they would get.

 

[Beer League Sniper]

Who is the 3rd team

Likely Vancouver, from all reports. Would also explain why the Kravtsov return was such garbage.

 

[NMacrules]

And the leafs couldn't pay this why?

Nobody was expecting any magic. It was the same guy that traded DeBrincat for an underwhelming price.
