Rangers' Anton Blidh: Re-ups with Blueshirts
Blidh signed a two-year, two-way contract with the Rangers on Wednesday, per PuckPedia.
Blidh posted 23 points in 53 AHL games split between Hartford and Coloradothis year. The winger is a veteran of 84 NHL contests over the last seven years, but he's managed just 12 points over that span. He'll likely be organizational depth for the Rangers in 2023-24, and he'll be limited to a bottom-six role at the NHL level at best.

Rangers' Patrick Kane: Has hip resurfacing
Kane underwent hip resurfacing Thursday, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.
Kane is expected to need four-to-six months to recover from the procedure, so his availability for the start of the 2023-24 campaign is very questionable. He recorded 21 goals and 57 points in 73 contests between Chicago and the Rangers in 2022-23 and contributed another goal and six points in seven playoff outings this year. Kane has completed his eight-year, $84 million contract and is eligible to become an unrestricted free agent this summer.
