Larry Brooks of the New York Post: It could cost the New York Rangers at least $6 million per season on a long-term deal for pending 24-year old restricted free agent defenseman Anthony DeAngelo.
Another option could be a bridge deal at around $5 million per season. Salary arbitration could be another option, but the sides would likely want to avoid that.
Trading DeAngelo for a right-handed defenseman or for a top-nine forward that has top-six potential is another option.
Error 0:
The Rangers will need to keep in mind that they have Jacob Trouba for six more seasons at $8 million per with a no-movement clause that kicks in on July, and that Adam Fox will need a big new contract when his entry-level deal expires.
