## Resource

The Rangers’ offseason overhaul is paying off, but their deal with restricted free agent Braden Schneider raises eyebrows. Signed to a $5.5M one-year contract—seen by some as overpaying—the move locks him into a third-pairing role, a position that may suit him better than his previous struggles on the second pairing. With just 18 points last season and defensive concerns, the deal feels like a missed opportunity to free up cap space for coveted veteran forwards. Still, the Rangers may hold onto him, hoping his role evolves—or that a trade emerges before the season starts. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
