Rangers bring back veteran Chad Ruhwedel for needed defensive depth
NY Post
The Rangers shored up their organizational blue line depth Friday, bringing back Chad Ruhwedel on a one-year, two-way deal after acquiring the former Penguin at the trade deadline.
An industry source told The Post that Ruhwedel’s NHL salary will be $775,000, with a total guarantee of $450,000.
Per PuckPedia, that leaves the Rangers with a hair over $7.3 million in cap space, though there is some flexibility with four two-way contracts on the projected roster.
The Rangers spent a 2027 fourth-round pick to get Ruhwedel in March, and the 34-year-old played five games for the Blueshirts.
He did not record a point on Broadway, but scored a goal with three assists over 47 games with the Penguins last season.
The Rangers still have yet to re-sign Braden Schneider and Ryan Lindgren as restricted free agents, but assuming they are able to do so, Ruhwedel currently slots in as the club’s seventh defenseman.
