Rangers re-sign defenseman Chris Summers

"RNYRF" Staff Report

The New York Rangers on Wednesday officially
re-signed free-agent defenseman Chris Summers.

NEW YORK – New York Rangers General Manager Jeff Gorton announced on Wednesday that the team has re-signed defenseman Chris Summers.

Summers was supposed to become a free-agent on July 1, but this new contract has kept that from happening.

Summers, 28, skated in 74 games with the Hartford Wolf Pack of the American Hockey League (AHL) this past season, registering three goals and eight assists for 11 points, along with a plus-two rating and 51 penalty minutes. He skated in three games with the Rangers during the 2015-16 season, registering five shots on goal and four penalty minutes.

Summers was acquired by the Rangers from the Arizona Coyotes, along with defenseman Keith Yandle and a fourth round pick in the 2016 NHL Entry Draft in exchange for defenseman John Moore, forward Anthony Duclair, a second round pick in the 2015 NHL Entry Draft, and a first round pick in the 2016 NHL Entry Draft on March 1, 2015.

Rangers resign D-man Chris Summers

The Rangers have reportedly re-signed defenseman Chris Summers to a two-way, one-year extension. If Summers plays in the NHL his cap hit would be $600,000, if he plays is in the AHL he will be paid $350,000.
Acquired along with Keith Yandle in 2015 and has played six games for the Rangers and in 74 games for the Wolf Pack last season, Summers had 3 goals, 8 assists, 69 shots and 51 PIM.

Rangers Rumor Roundup:

Word is that the Rangers have not yet contacted pending UFA Keith Yandle about a new contract. It's said the Rangers must free up salary to fit under cap restrictions in order to sign Yandle. As of right now it would appear that Yandle will be testing the free agent market and sign elsewhere.

Today starts the first buy-out period along with First Club Salary Arbitration Notifications being due in by 5:00 PM New York time.
