## Resource

The Rangers just inked defenseman Braden Schneider to a one-year, $5.5M deal, locking him down for the season and avoiding arbitration — but setting up another potential trade deadline move next year. While the hefty price tag might make him more enticing to other teams seeking defensive help, Schneider’s role is now clearer: third-pairing duty behind Fox and Durzi. After a rough 2023-24 season with an expanded role, this contract could be his chance to prove he’s still got top-four upside — or finally get traded for a top-nine forward. The Rangers’ patience may be running thin, but Schneider’s future remains a wild card as the offseason unfolds. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
