NHL News: Rangers, Canadiens, Flames, Devils, and Hurricanes
The New York Rangers re-signed Ryan Lindgren
Puck Pedia: The New York Rangers and defenseman Ryan Lindgren avoided a salary settlement and agreed to a one-year, $4.5 million deal.
Lindgren will be a UFA next season.
Puck Pedia: The Rangers now have $623,000 in projected salary cap space with 23 players – 14 forwards, seven defensemen and two goaltenders.
That number would allow for a $2.8 million hit at the deadline.
Ryan Lindgren, signed for 1x$4.5M by NYR, is a defensive back. In the past she has been successful as a respectable middle class player but that changed this year as the model sees her as a big draw for her partner Adam Fox. #NYR pic.twitter.com/FCn66HlkEO

NHL Rumors: Florida Panthers, and Columbus Blue Jackets
The Montreal Canadiens re-signed Justin Barron
The Montreal Canadiens: The Canadiens re-signed defenseman Justin Barron to a two-year, $2.3 million contract – down from $1.15 million.
Marco D'Amico: “Good deal for both sides, and that now eliminates the Canadiens defense. Now you have about $5.5M in real space to work with.”
The Montreal Canadiens re-signed Arber Xhekaj
Hockey for TSN: The Canadiens re-signed defenseman Arber Xhekaj to a two-year, $2.6 million contract – down from $1.3 million.
Marco D'Amico: “A strong AAV for the next two years, giving Xhekaj enough time to show the organization that he deserves a long-term deal. I have to be honest, I thought this number would be closer to $2M, so getting him at $1.3M is quite interesting. There are a lot of spaces that I still have to play with.”
The Montreal Canadiens re-signed Arber Xhekaj to a two-year deal with an AAV of $1.3M. That's a pretty good deal for both parties in my opinion. Xhekaj only played 44 games last season, but was good in the 3rd pairing role. pic.twitter.com/4faXe4GBTj
