The Rangers addressed some of their most pressing needs on the first day of NHL free agency Wednesday, inking a long-term contract with a second-line center and padding their goaltending depth while also creating some much-needed salary-cap space with a trade.Vincent Trocheck, signed a seven-year, $39.375 million deal
“It was a hole that we wanted to address,” Rangers president and general manager Chris Drury said on a Zoom call with reporters. “Just excited to have Vincent on board. He’s a real good player, does a lot of different things.”and inked Canadian goalie Louis Domingue to a two-year, two-way deal with an average annual value of $775,000.With 17 seasons and 556 games of NHL experience, Halak will presumably back up star goaltender Igor Shesterkin.
Drury said he preferred to trade Nemeth rather than buy him out because it created more cap space. He didn’t rule out the possibility of signing a depth defenseman, saying he’s always looking to upgrade where he can. Without Nemeth now, the path to the opening-night roster for top prospects like Zac Jones and Matthew Robertson becomes a lot clearer.The Rangers may also be on the lookout for what Drury described as a “low-salary, depth center of the [Kevin] Rooney mold” in the coming days.
