On June 30th, the New York Rangers just locked up forward, Pavel Dorofeyev with a seven-year deal.
This dude is 25 years old and coming off a monster season with the Golden Knights putting up career highs and goals and assists hitting 64 points. He even led his old team in a bunch of categories, including power play goals where he was second in the whole league. He's been consistent to playing all 82 games for the second year in a row. In the playoffs, he showed up big time, dropping 12 goals and 16 points in their run to the Stanley Cup final. Across his five years in the NHL, all with Vegas, he's put up 92 goals and 57 assists.
Dorofeyev was originally drafted by Vegas and has spent his entire North American pro career there. Before that, he played in the KHL. He also spent some time in the AHL with the Henderson Silver Knights where he put up solid numbers.
The Rangers actually snagged him from Vegas just a few days ago, on June 26th. So, this contract is a pretty quick follow up to that trade, showing how much they value him. This move signals a big investment in Dorofeyev's offensive game. He's clearly a proven scorer at the NHL level, and the Rangers are betting he can bring that production to New York for the long haul.
