It wasn't supposed to be this way for Patrick Kane.
He expected to wear only one uniform in his NHL career, having been drafted by the Chicago Blackhawks in 2007 and becoming a Stanley Cup-winning franchise icon over the next 16 seasons. But a rebuild, and a desire to break from the past, meant "Showtime" ended in Chi-Town last season with a trade deadline move to the New York Rangers.
"Him and Johnny [Toews] wanted to retire as Hawks. But unfortunately, things worked out differently," Kane's agent, Pat Brisson, told ESPN last week.
