Of course, the 34-year-old is not the same caliber player that he was 10 years ago, but his recent play has been inspiring and he probably has a lot more left in the tank than he was letting on. Kane scored nine goals and 35 points in his first 50 games, but he registered seven goals and three assists in four games before the Blackhawks sat him down ahead of the trade. The Rangers rank 11th on offense but with Kane now in the mix, one would expect the team to improve in that area.
