He's no Tanner Jeanot (sp?) I guess lol.

 

[GirardSpinorama]

As expected. Thankfully Kane goes out east. Love this arms race!

 

[Reverend Mayhem]

If it keeps up this way, there are going to be 7 really disappointed teams out East in June.

 

[NMacrules]

Rangers now officially a cup favourite.

 

[Phion Keneuf]

And the leafs couldn't pay this why?

Because Kane wanted to go to the Rangers?

Teams in the west don't even need to make a big trade, just call up a guy from the minors and you're the new favourites in the west.

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.

Can we please sticky this as part of the headline?

Over/under on number of “hahaha Jeannot got more I can’t believe it!” threads that have zero relevance to the Kane trade?

Edit: six pages in and at least a half-dozen posts thinking they are the first to make this awesome joke. Keep going guys!

Pretty sure Kane only wanted to go to NYR

The third party retention is going to cost an extra pick on this - a 3rd, perhaps?

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Hawks brutalized in deal

Pathetic end to Kane career in Chicago

 

[OmniSens]

That's it? Lol The 3rd team will have to pay up.

 

[MadeUpName]

NYR makes these moves to beat NJ and Carolina. So ECF is probably a 50/50 bet. Not bad for Chicago given the circumstances.

 

[5cotland]

I f***en love it!!!!!

No 1st this year.

 

[Ace Card Bedard]

Now I gotta cheer for the Rangers to make the ECF?

Ugh.

 

[NMacrules]

Because Kane wanted to go to the Rangers?

The rangers and the Leafs were his 2 teams he was willing to go to.

 

[Kevin Musto]

Me to Kane:

They could he didn't want to go there.

 

[AIexisLafreniereNYR]

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

You and every hockey fan I’m sure LOL

 

[wedge]

I guess he only wanted to go there.
Better for the Hawks to get that than nothing but still, the return is underwhelming

 

[Taluss]

Lets gooo!!!!

 

[shuchukfan]

Taxi drivers, watch out!

 

[Connor McConnor]

What a joke. Rangers making this look like the NBA

 

[SingnBluesOnBroadway]

And the leafs couldn't pay this why?

Uh....because (checks notes)....they're not the Rangers.
