On July 13th, Braden Schneider and the Rangers avoided arbitration, agreeing to a one-year contract extension.
This deal will pay him an average annual value of $5.5 million.
The 24-year-old defenseman has been a subject of trade speculation this offseason. However, the Rangers reportedly set a steep asking price, signaling their intention to keep him on board for the upcoming season. Schneider is expected to continue playing a significant role on the team's defense. Despite a season with some fluctuations in his offensive output, he proved to be a valuable and adaptable player, logging the most ice time of his career. He also came close to matching his personal bests in blocked shots and hits last season. This one-year agreement means Schneider will once again be a restricted free agent next summer, leaving his long-term future with the team open to discussion.
