Patrick Kane Might Not Be Traded Until This Evening Due to Salary Cap Restrictions

As the trade deadline gets closer more details about Patrick Kane's imminent trade to the New York Rangers keep surfacing. Recently Elliotte Friedman reported that the Rangers could acquire Kane after 5pm today so he would not count against their salary cap for today. That's how tight New York is to the cap at this moment. Kane's name has been mentioned in trade rumors all season long. Over the last several days trade talks have intensified between Chicago and New York, and it seems like a deal could be announced at any moment.
