He will join current player Vladimir Tarasenko and former teammate Artemi Panarin once it is official, as it has been said that it is nearing its end to be official by the NY Post.

We do, however, know that Vitali Kravtsov and Jake Leschyshyn's have to be moved before the Rangers can make a trade, and they were scratched for trade related reasons last night.
Kane was also not at the Blackhawks morning skate, and his replacement was the Blackhawks' recent call up that was newly announced, aligning the departure of a trade.
Gust is in Kane's spot:
