Insider reveals Patrick Kane linked to former team in Free Agency
The big question on the minds of many New York Rangers fans is whether the team will go after Patrick Kane this offseason.
Kane, who had a post-deadline stint with the Blueshirts during the 2022-23 season after being traded from the Chicago Blackhawks, is set to become a target in NHL free agency and at age 35, and showtime can choose his next tour stop
Chris Johnston recently discussed the possibility of Kane returning to the Rangers, suggesting there's a lot of buzz around the idea of a return to Broadway.
There's been lots of smoke about a return to the Rangers...If we had to pick a frontrunner, I'd say it would be the Rangers.

During his 19 games with New York, he scored five goals, added seven assists, and totaled 12 points while averaging 17:29 of ice time. Despite being hampered by a hip injury that required resurfacing surgery, which sidelined him for much of the season, Kane showed he still has plenty to offer.
Kane's going to be looking for, I would think, something like a 3-year contract. Maybe 2-year. The devils are in the details of the negotiations. I know there's been a lot of smoke about a return to #NYR .
After his time with the Rangers, Kane found a home with the Detroit Red Wings, where he thrived. In 50 games with Detroit, he tallied 20 goals, 27 assists, and 47 points. While he may not be the superstar he once was, Kane remains a productive player who could add valuable depth to the Rangers' offense.
