Patrick Kane and James van Riemsdyk have finally become NHL teammates, 18 years after going 1–2

Detroit Red Wings have signed James van Riemsdyk. He joins Patrick Kane, the top pick of 2007. Both were drafted in 2007. Kane was picked by Chicago Blackhawks. Van Riemsdyk was picked by Philadelphia Flyers. They played for Team USA. But they never played together in NHL. This move brings nostalgia. It also adds veteran experience to the team.
