Summary
The Rangers just locked up defenseman Braden Schneider to a surprise $5.5M one-year deal, gutting their cap space and leaving them with just $2.5M to work with—forcing tough roster decisions. While the move was expected to clear room for a top-nine forward, Schneider’s contract now makes him a trade target, but his underwhelming performance last season could limit his value. With 22 of 23 spots filled, the Rangers must decide: keep a young, promising defenseman or trade him for a bigger impact up front.
