Rangers extend Matthew Robertson as roster edges reinforced
NY Post
The Rangers are holding on to Matthew Robertson.
Signing the restricted free agent defenseman to a two-year extension Friday, the Blueshirts further padded their depth on the blue line as president and general manager Chris Drury continues to reshape the roster this offseason.
The deal is two-way the first year and one-way in the second, per a source.
The 24-year-old Robertson will make the league minimum of $750,000 at the NHL level.
Drafted 49th overall by the Rangers in 2019, Robertson made his NHL debut in the last two games of the 2024-25 season, when the team was already eliminated from playoff contention.
“You have your doubts,” he said before the Rangers defeated the Panthers, 5-3, after he took his rookie lap at Amerant Bank Arena in Sunrise, Fla.

Suddenly, someone had hit a rewind button and everyone had been transported back seven months. It was early spring instead of late fall, it was broiling hot outside the arena walls and not freezing cold. Everyone was back at TD Garden. There were 19,156 frenzied fans on their feet begging for blood, poised for the kill.
