Confirmed with Link: Rangers extend McDonagh (6 years, $28.2M, $4.7M AAV)

[Doctyl]

Expecting AAV of 5.5. The 3 UFA years will be compared to what UFAs received this yr and all I know is salaries this yr have been out of control.

hamonic's contract could also be used as a bargaining tool against mcdonagh. im expecting 4-5 million

 

[terrrrrible]

Brooks just tweeted this...

McDonagh's deal worth $4.7M per for 6 years. Fair number, very fair for Rangers...

Brooks just tweeted this...

Wow. That's a great contract!

More than fair. Good on management and good on McD for getting it done quickly.

That is what I like to see.

 

[The Gloaming]

4.7 over 6 years for MacTruck?

Awesome!

Woke up to some good news.

 

[RangerBoy]

Wasn't far off from $4.5M.

 

[NYROrtsFan]

Great news... Mac truck is worth every penny, and it's a very solid deal from the Rangers perspective.


Think he's our best defenseman although he's liable for a bad game here and there.

 

[gary laser eyes]

Now lock up Stepan, please.

 

[Parker]

Great news, great contract!

“@NYP_Brooksie: McDonagh's deal worth $4.7M per for 6 years. Fair number, very fair for Rangers...”

“@NYP_Brooksie: Rangers able to buy out two years of McDonagh's prospective unrestricted free agency under deal.”

 

[Rangers ftw]

Lovin' it!!!

 

[Baby Punisher]

Great deal if it's true.

“@NYP_Brooksie: Rangers able to buy out two years of McDonagh's prospective unrestricted free agency under deal.â€

Wrong Brooksie. They bought 3 years of UFA. McD is 24.

 

[RangerBoy]

Six years is 3 years of group II and group III each.

 

[GAGLine]

With Powe and Asham buried, we have 8.4 mil left to re-sign Step, Hags, Zuke and Falk.

2 x 2.85 for Step
2 x 2.25 for Hags
2 x 1.3 for Zuke
2 x 1 for Falk

Total is 7.4, leaving us with 1 mil (240k without the bonus cushion)

At last some gravy for the tormented Rangers fan soul

 

[LeetchisGod]

Great deal. Hope he is a Ranger 4 life.

 

[RangerBoy]

Stepan is 4 years away from group III. Mac was 3. Hagelin is 3 years away. Stepan is getting more than 4 years if its a long term deal. 5 years for $20M.

Unless Sather has something in the works to free up cap space, I don't see Step getting more than 2 years.

 

[CTRanger]

Great deal for both parties. Would not be surprised to see Stepan get a very similar deal. Maybe with a little lower AAV, something like 6yr 25.5/4.25 per

 

[UnderPSI]

Very happy that this is done. On to the next one... Stepan.

 

[RangerBoy]

Unless Sather has something in the works to free up cap space, I don't see Step getting more than 2 years.

All of the indications have been Stepan getting more than the 2 year bridge contract. The Rangers will need to trim somewhere else.

 

[GAGLine]

The contract has been posted on capgeek. They have it as 4.7 in salary per year, but that is subject to change. Sather usually backloads his RFA contracts.
