Zuccarello Re-signs For 1 Year
Restricted Free Agent Mats Zuccarello has agreed to a one year contract worth $1.15M, just one day ahead of his scheduled arbitration hearing. The 25 year old Norwegian born winger has played 67 regular season games for the Rangers over the past three seasons, and a further 13 in the playoffs, but still is yet to cement […]
Blueshirts Sign RFA Justin Falk
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 […]
Hagelin Resigns
Rangers forward Carl Hagelin has come to terms with the Rangers, preventing what might have been a contentious debate over his worth to the organization. There had been some thought that Hagelin’s agreement might be the most contentious of the Rangers RFAs, but his signing comes just five days into the free agency period. Hagelin will reportedly […]
McDonagh Grabs A Six-Pack
It used to be that Restricted Free Agents had little leverage, but over the years and various Collective Bargaining Agreements, they’ve gradually added some negotiating power. It doesn’t hurt either that the Salary Cap is now a potential weapon for rival GMs to poach players, or at the very least cause Cap pain. With that […]
Callahan Resigns
With less than 24 hours remaining before his scheduled arbitration hearing, Ryan Callahan has accepted an offer for a three year contract with the Rangers. The deal will pay the Rochester native an average of $4.275M over each of the next three seasons, in exchange for giving up two years of potential free agency. The deal means […]
Return of Eminger
The Rangers appear to have looked at the free agent market, and decided re-signing the known commodity was the better option. As predicted by Larry Brooks last week, the Rangers have signed Eminger for another year, albeit at the slightly lower rate of $800,000. The move means the Rangers now have five proven defensemen on […]
Dubinsky and Rangers settle on 4 year deal
With just hours remaining before their arbitration hearing, Brandon Dubinsky and the New York Rangers agreed to a four year, $16.8M deal that would see the former second round draft pick continue for through two years of unrestricted free agency. The $4.2M annual average is a substantial increase on the $1.85M that he took home over the […]
Boyle – Rangers agree to three year deal
Brian Boyle has cashed in on his 21 goal performance from last year, tripling his salary from a shade over $500k to $1.7M for three years. Having scored just four goals in each of his first three professional seasons, there was some question that Boyle would even make the team coming out of camp. Some off-season […]
Anisimov Signs Also
Multiple reports – Bergen Record and New York Daily News – indicate that Artem Anisimov and the Rangers have agreed to a two year, $3.75M contract. It is Anisimov’s second NHL contract, following the entry-level deal that he signed back in 2007, and increases his salary from $805,000 to $1.875M per year. Drafted in the second round of the 2006 NHL […]
Sauer Signs Up For Two More Years
Per Larry Brooks on Twitter, the Rangers have resigned Mike Sauer to a two year, $2.5M deal. The deal means Sauer and the Rangers will avoid arbitration later in the Summer. After signing an entry-level contract in 2006, Sauer didn’t begin playing in the AHL until the following season after completing his junior eligibility. In the 2008-09 season, […]
