The Real Reason Patrick Kane Left the Rangers Emerges

As Patrick Kane gets closer to signing a contract, more details have emerged on the real reason he decided not to sign with the New York Rangers.

Patrick Kane is gearing up to sign a contract soon and is reportedly hoping to do so in the immediate future. Among the top rumoured teams are Buffalo and Detroit, however, it has recently been reported that Toronto and Colorado have expressed interest as well.

Unfortunately for Rangers fans, they are likely losing out on Kane. According to Frank Seravalli, this is due to their significant cap constraints.

While Kane is getting older, its unlikely he will sign somewhere for under a million and change, so this makes it nearly impossible for the Rangers to get something done quickly.

With his hopes of signing a deal in the next few weeks, the Buffalo Sabres appear to be leading the way in terms of where Kane is most likely to sign. Their GM Kevyn Adams has confirmed that they have been in contact with Kane since he became a free agent.

It appears that we might see the Kane sweepstakes wrap up soon as he is getting close to signing a deal.
