**SPEAKER_1** (0:00)
On July 6th, the New York Rangers just locked down defenseman William Trudeau with a one year deal. He's 23 years old and spent last season with the Leval Rocket in the AHL, putting up eight goals and 12 assists for 20 points in.
62 games, that put him pretty high up on the Rockets defenseman stats for the year. He's got a solid track record in the AHL, playing over 260 games with Leval. Across those seasons, he's put up 90 points from 28 goals and 62 assists. He even played in 15 playoff games, notching three assists. Trudeau was actually picked up by the Rangers from the Montreal Canadiens back on June 26th. Before going pro, he played three seasons in the QMJHL, where he put up some good numbers too, with 20 goals and 70 assists. This move adds some depth to the Rangers blue line. He's shown he can contribute offensively from the defense position, and at 23, there's still room for him to grow.
It's a one-year contract, so it'll be interesting to see how he performs, and if he can make a consistent impact at the NHL level. He's got the experience, now it's about proving himself. You've been listening to New York Rangers News Today, AI-powered team coverage.
