Detroit on Tuesday signed Patrick Kane, according to The Athletic's Chris Johnston and SportsNet's Elliotte Friedman. The Red Wings were third in the Atlantic Division when they signed the veteran.
Boston made sense as a potential Kane candidate. The B's could add more secondary scoring, and the 2016 Hart Trophy winner could have been a veteran for young players to turn to, especially with his experience as a three-time Stanley Cup champion.
Boston's loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets on Monday also highlighted how adding top-six forward depth wasn't a pressing need for the B's. The loss marked the first time since 2012 the Bruins allowed at least five goals in three straight games, and opponents outscored the Boston 17-6 during its three-game losing streak.
