It's July 2nd, you're listening to New York Rangers News Today, AI-powered coverage of your team. I'm Corey with the story. So the Rangers just picked up Oliver Bjorkstrand, a right wing on a one-year deal. It's worth $4.5 million.
This move adds a guy who's been putting up over 30 points for nine straight seasons, which is exactly what the team needs to boost their scoring. Consistency. Last year, playing a bit less in Tampa Bay, he still managed 12 goals and 20 assists in 80 games. That's 32 points total, his lowest since he was mostly in the AHL back in 2016
This will be Bjorkstrand's fourth team in his 11-year NHL journey. He's played for the Blue Jackets, the Kraken, and the Lightning. Across 704 games, he's racked up 184 goals and 232 assists. He usually plays around 15 minutes a game. It's a solid addition to their forward lines, bringing in a proven score who can contribute consistently.
