So you thought the speculation and rumors about the New York Rangers trading for Patrick Kane would be over.
Yes, the acquisition of Tyler Motte on Sunday actually added over $500,000 to the Blueshirts’ cap situation leaving them with a little over $900,000 in accrued space come the trade deadline on March 3. Just enough to add Arizona Coyotes center Nick Bjugstadt, which I believe is the move they’ll make.
That being said, with a little bit of cap gymnastics and using a third team to drive Kane’s AAV down, it’s still actually possible to trade for the three-time Stanley Cup champion.
