Summary
The Rangers just locked up Dylan Garand with a two-year extension worth $1.75M average annual value, positioning him as the likely backup to Shesterkin. While his AHL stats were solid, his brief NHL stint was stellar — a 1.62 GAA and .948 save percentage. The deal’s structure — a two-way first year, then a guaranteed one-way second — is a bit surprising, but financially smart for a cost-effective tandem. With Shesterkin earning $11.5M, Garand’s development is the priority, and he’s clearly outgrown the AHL. Training camp could be his breakout moment.
