The New York Rangers have acquired centre Alex Wennberg from the Seattle Kraken in exchange for a 2024 second-round draft pick and a 2025 conditional fourth-round selection (originally belonging to Dallas).

The Kraken are also retaining 50 percent of Wennberg’s contract as part of the trade.

Wennberg, 29, has tallied nine goals and 16 assists for 25 points in 60 games for the Kraken this season.

He was ranked among the players on the TFP Trade Watch List.

Wennberg was originally selected by the Blue Jackets in the first round, 14th overall, of the 2013 NHL Draft.
