The New York Rangers have signed LW Brendan Lemieux to a one-year deal. While the team did not disclose financial terms, several media outlets are reporting that it's worth $925,000.
Lemieux, 23, managed 12 goals and 17 points last season, split between the Winnipeg Jets and the Rangers. Lemieux was dealt to the Rangers, along with a 2019 first-round pick and a conditional fourth round pick, at the trade deadline last season in exchange for Kevin Hayes. Lemieux is known for a style of play similar to that of his father Claude Lemieux; an agitator who had the ability to put the puck in the net.
With this signing, the Rangers have one restricted free agent left to get under contract; defenseman Anthony DeAngelo. Training camp opens across the NHL on Friday.
