NEW YORK — Three weeks ago, when the Rangers made the trade to acquirer Vladimir Tarasenko from the St. Louis Blues, Patrick Kane was none too happy, and he let his disappointment be known in his comments to the media.
Thursday afternoon, as he sat behind a table in the news conference room at Madison Square Garden, giving his first remarks since he joined Tarasenko on the Rangers’ roster late Tuesday night, he felt a little differently.
“When they made the move for Tarasenko ... it didn't seem like it was in the cards [that a trade to the Rangers would] still be an option for me,’’ Kane said, a wide grin starting to spread across his face. “So now obviously, I'm very happy they made that move [to get Tarasenko], and both of us are here."
