The Rangers have secured winger Adam Edstrom with a two-year contract extension at a cap hit of $975,000, matching the deal of teammate Matt Rempe. Edstrom, recovering from a season-ending injury, showcased his potential alongside center Sam Carrick on an effective fourth line before his setback. He possesses strong skating abilities and good instincts, which should contribute positively to the team's performance as they aim to improve from last season. If needed, Edstrom’s contract can be easily reassigned to Hartford, though the expectation is for him to stay with the Rangers.
Another Rangers RFA is locked up, with winger Adam Edstrom signing a two year contract extension. The extension carries a $975,000 cap hit, which makes this contract identical to the Matt Rempe contract.
Edstrom is a solid hockey player who can hopefully play a full season next year. He moves very well for a kid his size and has nice instincts too.
Assuming Mike Sullivan doesn't break up this trio, they should form a good fourth line for the Rangers as they look to rebound from whatever you can call last season.
Worst case scenario, his contract is easily buried in Hartford, but that likely won't happen. Edstrom is here to stay, like Rempe.
