Five days ago, the New York Rangers secured restricted free agent defenseman Braden Schneider with a two-year contract, boasting an average annual value of $2.2 million. This transaction leaves the Rangers with approximately $5 million in remaining cap space. With only one free agent left to sign, Ryan Lindgren, they appear to be wrapping up

The New York Rangers season came to a disappointing end with their 2-1 loss to the Florida Panthers in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Final. They did not generate enough scoring chances and were outplayed both at even strength and on special teams. Jacob Trouba, who broke his ankle in March, struggled and briefly
After not having a pick until late in the second round of the 2022 NHL Draft, the New York Rangers have the 23rd overall pick this year. Though they have made a few disappointing early first-round choices, including Lias Andersson (seventh overall in 2017) and Vitali Kravtsov (ninth overall in 2018), they have had success
The “Sophomore Slump” or “Sophomore Curse” is a well-known narrative amongst fans of the NHL. It’s also been a topic that reporters usually never let slide either. What makes it more interesting is that the trend seems to occur commonly within the defensemen community. With the young blueline that the New York Rangers have, one
Rangers likely can’t re-sign their top UFA. Getting calls on Chytil and Kakko Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet: It doesn’t look like they can get the money to work with Andrew Copp, and the same could be said for Ryan Strome. They are getting calls on Filip Chytil and Kaapo Kakko. Don’t think they want to
Rangers should make their move now Arthur Staple of The Athletic: The New York Rangers have the assets and should be making the move to get the player(s) they want. If Vancouver Canucks forward J.T. Miller is not available, or if the Canucks want defenseman Braden Schneider, maybe turn their attention to Anaheim Ducks forward
Trade rumors have surrounded Jack Eichel all offseason, but so far the Buffalo Sabres have held on to their star center. Given that center is a weakness for the Rangers, and they have a lot of talented young players, they could make a trade for him. However, Kaapo Kakko, Alexis Lafreniere, Nils Lundkvist, and Braden
The New York Rangers were well represented on the podium of the IIHF World Championships as Braden Schneider took home the gold medal with Team Canada. In contrast, Colin Blackwell, Zac Jones, and Kevin Rooney all took home bronze with Team USA. It may seem like an oxymoron to say that Canada had a miracle
The New York Rangers are the youngest team in the NHL. With an average age of just over 25 years old, inexperience is certainly an excuse to continue the rebuild for another year or two. With Vitali Kravtsov set to make his long-awaited debut, he is just one of many young wingers in the Rangers
For 11 seasons, Dan Girardi handled the New York Rangers’ blue line, creating a formidable pairing with then captain Ryan McDonagh. As an undrafted player, Girardi’s path to the NHL was unconventional, and once he arrived, his goal was simple; do whatever the team needs to win. That method of madness worked for Girardi, who
The wait is finally over, Rangers’ fans! The New York Rangers selected Alexis Lafreniere first overall, landing the best player in the 2020 NHL draft. After an improbable lottery win landed the Rangers the first selection, fans and staff alike have been awaiting the day where the French-Canadian would virtually put on a Blueshirts’ jersey.
In the months leading up to the 2019 NHL Entry Draft, the Ottawa Senators were in bad shape. They’d finished at the bottom of the league, and were forced into a complete rebuild without their first-round pick, which had been sent to the Colorado Avalanche in 2017 for Matt Duchene, and seemed destined to be
