Rangers acquiring Patrick Kane from Blackhawks for a song

The New York Rangers are bringing “Showtime” to Broadway.

The Rangers acquired star forward Patrick Kane from the Chicago Blackhawks on Tuesday in exchange for a second- and fourth-round pick in the 2023 NHL Draft, per ESPN. The second-round pick could improve to a first-round selection provided the Rangers reach the Eastern Conference Finals, however the potential latter pick would be in either 2024 or 2025.

ESPN reported the Blackhawks will retain 50 percent of Kane’s $10.5 million contract, and the Arizona Coyotes signed on to take on half of that. The Coyotes’ will receive a 2025 third-round pick.
