In an offseason that has become about keeping their blue line together, the Rangers now have just one puzzle piece left to complete the picture.
Braden Schneider became the latest player to re-sign with the Blueshirts on Saturday, inking a two-year bridge deal for $4.4 million, per PuckPedia.
The 22-year-old is likely to be on the second pair with K’Andre Miller next season, continuing a pairing that had success when together in 2023-24.
The deal sets up Schneider to go into restricted free agency again in two years for what will either be another bridge deal or a longer-term extension.
Ryan Lindgren is now the last player the Rangers need to deal with in their defense corps.
Lindgren filed for arbitration ahead of last week’s deadline.
