The New York Rangers are trading for Seattle Kraken center Alex Wennberg, sources told ESPN.

The Rangers have been looking for multiple forwards ahead of Friday's trade deadline to replace Filip Chytil and Blake Wheeler, who are both out for the rest of the season.

Wennberg, 29, is on the final year of a three-year deal that pays him $4.5 million annually. According to sources, Seattle had conversations with Wennberg about an extension, but he wanted a longer-term deal.
