Kevin Shattenkirk signed a four-year deal with the Rangers that has a cap hit of $6.65 million.
Shattenkirk, 28, is a right shot defenseman who has 68 goals and 230 assists in 490 games.
Pierre McGuire said that he thinks Shattenkirk will "thrive" with the Rangers and that he took a discount and left term on the table to sign.
McGuire said "I know Kevin is pumped to be going back home."
Ray Ferraro said that Shatenkirk is a fabulous PP defenseman and can really move the puck, they shielded him pretty well in St. Louis. I felt that when he got to Washington he got exposed a little with some speed. To go 6-7 years I felt would have been exorbitant but at $6.65 million you are paying for offense. (TSN)
Marty Biron said on TSN that Shattenkirk is betting on himself and will likely have the opportunity to sign another UFA deal in four-years.
Rangers signed goaltender Ondrej Pavelec earlier in the day for one yearat $1.3 million.
