The Rangers continue to knock off RFAs, with Justin Falk agreeing to a one year, $975,000 contract with his new club. Falk has yet to establish himself as a full-time NHLer, but provides extra depth to the Rangers, who were sorely stretched last season when injuries impacted Marc Staal in particular.
It remains to be seen if Falk will stick around with the club after camp, but it seems likely that he’ll at least get to share the booth with Aaron Johnson pending any injuries, given that the Rangers did send Benn Ferriero and a 6th Round Pick to the Wild for his rights.
With Falk now signed, the Rangers have around $3.3M to account for their three remaining RFAs: Derek Stepan, Mats Zuccarello and Brandon Mashinter.
