New York Rangers Address Center Depth with Trade for Alex Wennberg

The New York Rangers address their need for a third-line center by acquiring Alex Wennberg from the Seattle Kraken in exchange for a late-second-round pick and a fourth-round pick. Wennberg's playmaking ability and defensive prowess are expected to stabilize the Rangers' bottom six, providing support for their top centers and helping drive possession. Meanwhile, the Kraken, who are unlikely to make the playoffs this season, acquire additional draft picks and may look to make moves for immediate impact players in the offseason.
