Chytil Signs Up For Two More
Filip Chytil signed a two-year extension today to remain with Rangers through the end of the 2022-23 season. With an AAV of $2.3M, he comes in around at what you would expect for a player at this stage of his career, where he spent most of his playing time as a third line center. Where he […]
Report: Rangers Don’t Qualify Four
The Rangers reportedly did not qualify four players ahead of the league deadline at 5:00pm Eastern today. Forwards Gabriel Fontaine and Patrick Newell, along with defensemen Brandon Crawley and Yegor Rykov were not given qualifying offers, meaning they will become UFAs at 12:00pm Eastern on Wednesday.

Buchnevich Heading Out?
I believe at this point that Pavel Buchnevich will be traded before July 28th, I’m not sure to whom, or for what, but after yesterday’s media conference with General Manager Chris Drury, I think it’ll happen. I’ll be disappointed, I like what he’s evolved into as a player, but I don’t run the Rangers. The primary reason of […]
Clues On What’s To Come
Pretty much everyone has said the Rangers need more grind and grit, and that of course came to a head late in the season following a sweep by the Islanders and of course that game against the Capitals. How that would be addressed appears to be becoming a littler clearer. The move Saturday were the […]
Gauthier Signed to 1 Year Deal
With around 30 hours remaining until protected lists are due to the NHL, the Rangers have come to terms with forward Julien Gauthier on a one year deal worth $775,000.

Lindgren Extended For Three Years
In his first move since becoming the Rangers General Manager, Chris Drury got his first contract out of the way by signing Ryan Lindgren to a three year contract extension. The 23 year old defender has emerged as a top-pair defenseman for the Rangers, having formed a bond with his former US juniior team mate, Adam Fox. Acquired at the […]
DeAngelo And Georgiev Sign Two-Year Deals
And just like that, the Rangers sign two of their four main RFAs – apologies to Darren Raddysh – and both for reasonable two year contracts. Sure they’re both a little on the high side, but with the shorter term and speed at which they got done, you can expect a little inflation. Discuss in the forums: Georgiev […]
Arbitration Set For Rangers RFAs
It’s been over 11 years since the Rangers last went to arbitration, ultimately walking away from an award to Nikolai Zherdev, who became an unrestricted free agent after the decision. This year the team faces the daunting prospect of reaching deals with four players, with first up Tony DeAngelo on October 20th, perhaps being the most […]
Free Agency Opens Up Tomorrow
Friday October 12th at 12pm Eastern marks the opening up of the Free Agency period, and the Rangers are still looking to make some changes to their roster.
