New York does well simply by being the only option, but with all of the context, I actually think the Blackhawks did as well as you could hope here. If the Rangers end up making that a 1st, that will be a nice return for a player that is just flat out nowhere near as good as his perceived value at this point, and one that basically gave his GM one team to deal with.
Davidson manages to do right by his franchise icon, get value for a player that no longer had value to their team, and could end up getting a 1st in a deal where he had no leverage, and an asset whose value is almost entirely based on prior accomplishments. Kane won't have to be "the guy" offensively in New York, so maybe he has much more to offer than he looked so far this year, but honestly, I think the Blackhawks did well here when considering it in full context.
