Kane reportedly loved his time with the Rangers last season, and would be very open to a reunion in The Big Apple, but according to The Athletic's Arthur Staple, there's a very good chance of that happening.
From that report, it appears as though Kane may start the season as a free agent, and if the Rangers get off to a slow start, he could be added, but with a few teams looming, this situation becomes very interesting.
One more interesting piece of information in that report is that Edmonton, Colorado or Buffalo could all be looking to add the three-time Stanley Cup Champion, who could have mutual interest with any contender.
Ultimately, this is a veteran star with Championship experience, and if he decides to end up anywhere other than New York, he could be a difference maker for many teams.
