Rangers trade Vitali Kravtsov to Canucks as Patrick Kane maneuvering continues

The Rangers have reportedly made another move on a busy Saturday, as the team inches closer to having the ability to make a big splash for Patrick Kane.

According to multiple reports, the Blueshirts have dealt Vitali Kravtsov to the Canucks, with Emily Kaplan of ESPN reporting New York getting Will Lockwood and a 2026 seventh-round pick in return.


Kravtsov, who requested a trade earlier this month, carried an $875,000 cap hit, while Lockwood arrives in a right wing swap, though he has played just 13 games at the NHL level this season, and just 28 games in his career. He has a goal and an assist so far this season.

Kravtsov, a former top-10 pick for the Blueshirts, played 48 games in his Rangers career, logging five goals and five assists in that span.

Many expected Kravtsov to be part of a deal for Kane, but the move could mean the Rangers are looking to put together a trade for Kane without needing a third team involved.
