Rangers Re-sign Chris Summers
One-year, $600k for the other defenseman that came over in the Yandle trade.
So... who saw this coming?
The Rangers have re-signed defenseman Chris Summers who played the majority of the 2015-16 season with the Hartford Wolf Pack. Summers skated in just three games with the Rangers. The 28 year old defenseman came over in the big Keith Yandle trade and would have been a UFA on July 1st.
Summers has a reputation as a positive locker room presence and is a fine option as a veteran deep on the blue line's depth chart. The former Coyote will be returning to Hartford next season where he will resume his role as a mentor on and off the ice for the Rangers’ prospects.
