The New York Rangers have placed Jake Leschyshyn on waivers today in order to begin clearing cap space for an eventual Patrick Kane trade.
TSN’s Darren Dreger was the first to indicate this was happening.
Leschyshyn, 23, was claimed by the Rangers from the Vegas Golden Knights earlier in the season. In 13 games with the Blueshirts, he has not registered a point.
