Rangers focused on Patrick Kane reunion as NHL free agency looms
NY Post
LAS VEGAS — Stop me if you’ve heard this before, but the Rangers are interested in bringing Patrick Kane (back) to Broadway.
Very interested.
The Blueshirts have been publicly attached to a number of high-profile impending free agents, such as Jake Guentzel and Tyler Toffoli, as the July 1 market takes shape pretty much because the Blueshirts are always publicly attached to high-profile pending free agents at this time of year.
But it is our best information that the Blueshirts have their eyes trained on a reunion with Kane, whose 19-game cameo following the 2023 deadline, when he was compromised because of hip issues, left everyone wanting more.
Kane, who will turn 36 this November, underwent a hip-surfacing procedure within a month after the Rangers were eliminated by the Devils in the first round of the playoffs, rehabbed through the summer, and signed a one-year free agent deal worth $2.75 million with Detroit at the end of November.
The winger made his season debut Dec. 7 and recorded 20 goals and 27 assists for 47 points in 50 games as the Red Wings were eliminated from playoff contention on the final night of their season. He was healthy.
Just to get the formalities out of the way, Juan Soto officially declined the qualifying offer by Tuesday’s deadline.
