Patrick Kane is aiming to win his fourth Stanley Cup, and he’s hoping to help the New York Rangers win their first since 1994.
NEW YORK — Patrick Kane went"back and forth" in his head for a long time about whether or not to stay with the Blackhawks or explore a potential trade ahead of the March 3 deadline. He ultimately chose the latter, for a few reasons.
Perhaps the biggest? An opportunity to win a fourth Stanley Cup, which was probably pretty appealing to him since Chicago hasn't won a playoff round since the 2015 Stanley Cup Final.Sign up for NBC Chicago newsletters. From a team standpoint, the New York Rangers are aiming to win their first title since 1994. Kane was brought in to help them do that.
"It would be amazing," Kane said."Obviously I'm here for the experience and to play with good players and for this organization, but really when it comes down to it, you're here to win." The Rangers are loaded with firepower, whether it's up front, on the back end or in net. The biggest challenge will be getting out of the Eastern Conference, which could be an absolute bloodbath.
