The Blackhawks tweeted that Patrick Kane would not play in the game against the San Jose Sharks Saturday night – citing “roster management” as the reason.
Trading for Vladimir Tarasenko looked to be the New York Rangers' big move in their attempt to take a big stride in becoming a Stanley Cup contender.
The Blackhawks tweeted that Kane would not play in the game against the San Jose Sharks Saturday night – citing "roster management" as the reason. The Rangers shifted into win-soon mode in the spring of 2021. They signed gritty winger Barclay Goodrow and made other moves to inch closer to contention. They acquired a handful of players at the deadline last year and are in that same sort of spot now, giving general manager Chris Drury more reason to trade picks and prospects for immediate help.
As Hart Levine of PuckPedia, a site that tracks NHL contracts and the cap, points out: New York would need to clear forwards Vitali Kravtsov and Jake Leschyshyn off the roster to fit Kane in, as long as a third team is willing to get involved to make the money work, as the Minnesota Wild have done twice this month.
Kane, who has seven goals and three assists in his last four games, also was held out of practice. The Blackhawks said it was for "maintenance," and coach Luke Richardson called the forward "a little sore."
