New York Rangers President and General Manager Chris Drury announced today that the team has acquired defenseman Will Borgen, a third-round pick in the 2025 NHL Entry Draft, and a sixth-round pick in the 2025 NHL Entry Draft from the Seattle Kraken in exchange for Kaapo Kakko.

These days, there’s no “off” when it comes to an off day for the New York Rangers ... they were busy making headlines. The Rangers traded Kaapo Kakko to the Seattle Kraken for defenseman Will Borgen and two draft picks. It’s the second trade ...

“He’s a big defenseman that brings a physical element,” head coach Peter Laviolette said after the Rangers held practice at the Stars practice facility in Farmers Branch. “He skates really well, has a good first pass, moves the puck. He’s a nice addition, a big guy that can skate with some physicality and play with an edge. That’s a good thing.”
