Jesper Bratt, Devils Agree To Eight-Year Extension

Jesper Bratt will be staying in New Jersey for the foreseeable future as the two sides agreed on an eight-year extension that will pay him $63M (nice job to make the total Bratt’s jersey number) and comes out to a $7.875M AAV. Jesper Bratt finished the season with 73 points in 82 games. He was […]

In the first-round series against the New Jersey Devils, the majority of the New York Rangers, aside from Igor Shesterkin, looked as if they hadn’t a care in the world whether they lost or won.

Hell Or High Water? NY Rangers (And Fans) Await Devils or Hurricanes in First Round

As we sit here on the precipice of the postseason, it’s pretty crazy (and very cool) that it will take the last (full) day of the regular season to determine who the NY Rangers’ first-round opponent will be. It’s entirely out of the Rangers’ control, of course. All we know is that it will either […]

How The Timo Meier Trade Benefits The Adirondack Thunder
