ESPN Fantasy Projection: Armed with a full no-move clause in his contract, Kane, a future first-ballot Hall of Famer, negotiated a trade to the Rangers in late February following parts of sixteen seasons with the Blackhawks. Bothered by a nagging hip issue and a poor fit on a team that already had more than enough crafty playmakers, Kane managed six goals and 18 points in 26 combined regular season and playoff games with New York. As was widely expected, Kane underwent hip surgery in late May which is expected to require four to six months of recovery. There's a very real chance we won't see Kane, a current unrestricted free agent, until after Christmas, at which point he'll presumably choose a contending team to sign with for the stretch run.
