BREAKING: Rangers, Zibanejad agree on extension, Post has learned, eight years in the range of $8.5M per...A year or two more than NYR would have preferred, but allows the AAV to be workable...Should put a damper on Eichel talk.
Two years longer than I'd like and a bit more money, but all in all a fair deal for both sides
Now Rangers have to find a 2C who's better both ways than #16
Trouba has a NTC until 2024 I believe, and CK has a 15 team NTC. It’ll be difficult to unload either I feel until then. I guess a buyout is an option but, I’m not sure how that’s really beneficial. Trouba is overpaid but he has a solid role on the team. I wouldn’t say he was as useless as some of our past D overpays (Redden, Yandle).
This lets them get down to business of the season.
It is the Ranger way though.... Dead money is the best money in the eyes of NYR management.
