The Blackhawks and Rangers can still make a Patrick Kane trade work, but it would require some serious financial gymnastics for New York.
If there's legitimate mutual interest between Kane and the Rangers, it would take some serious gymnastics to make the finances work for New York. It's not impossible, though.
If the Rangers move out Vitali Kravtsov and Jake Leschyshyn , it would get them to roughly $2.4 million. That's about $225,000 short of being able to squeeze in Kane's $2.626 million. Kane's daily cap hit is $56,757. Stretch that over an eight-day span — which leads right up to the deadline — and it's $454,056 total. That would be enough for the Rangers to fit in Kane and be cap compliant.
