While Patrick Kane is deciding if he is OK with leaving the Chicago Blackhawks — his only NHL home — the veteran forward is keeping track of the rest of the league.
So, yeah, he definitely noticed the New York Rangers trading for fellow winger Vladimir Tarasenko on Thursday.
They could decide to finish the season with their only NHL team. Or the three-time Stanley Cup winners could provide general manager Kyle Davidson the name of a team or teams they would be willing to join."Just trying to figure things out," Kane said before Friday’s game against Arizona. "Probably make a decision in the next couple weeks here and just go with that."
Kane has nine goals and 26 assists in 46 games heading into the matchup with Arizona. His numbers are down this year, but he has been hurt by the lack of talent around him. "I feel better than I did last year, and I had a pretty good season last year," he said. "So it’s just one of those things. I think maybe the story leaks out and it piles up a little bit."
