The Winnipeg Jets have traded for Rangers forward Kevin Hayes, New York announced Monday.
The Rangers receive a first-round pick in this year's draft, forward Brendan Lemieux, and a conditional fourth-round selection in 2022.
The conditional pick will be a fourth-rounder if the Jets win the Stanley Cup, but won't be included in the deal otherwise, according to TSN's Pierre LeBrun.
No salary is being retained by the Rangers in the deal, adds LeBrun. Hayes is a pending unrestricted free agent carrying a cap hit of $5.175 million, according to CapFriendly.
The 26-year-old center produced 14 goals and 42 points in 51 games with the Rangers this season. He'd spent his entire career with New York.
