As of 1:30 PM Eastern Time there seems to be growing belief that Patrick Kane to the Rangers doesn't have anymore holdups. After sitting out now 2 games for Chicago, the news that he is going to New York is not new. The when however definitely is.

According to John Dietz of the Daily Herald (www.dailyherald.com) a deal with Chris Drury and the Rangers is done and that an announcement could happen tonight or tomorrow at the latest. Now word is coming in from multiple sources that it is indeed tonight after or around 5pm EST.

This will mark a significant day for all Blackhawk fans as we've now seen most (except captain Jonathan Toews) of our championship core leave. This story will be updated as news breaks.
