Reports: Rangers Agree to 1-Year Deal with F Eeli Tolvanen
Eeli Tolvanen is expected to add middle-six scoring and defensive versatility on a one-year contract worth $1.5 million, according to PuckPedia.
On Tuesday, the New York Rangers reportedly agreed to a one-year contract with winger Eeli Tolvanen valued at $1.5 million, continuing their offensive roster overhaul.
The 27-year-old Finnish winger was drafted 30th overall by the Nashville Predators in 2017 and has recorded 92 goals and 98 assists across 423 career NHL games.
Tolvanen tallied 36 points in 78 games with the Seattle Kraken last season and previously found success with teammate Oliver Bjorkstrand, playing a defensive-minded style that fits New York's needs.
This acquisition follows New York's trades of Vincent Trocheck to the Utah Mammoth and acquisition of Pavel Dorofeyev from the Vegas Golden Knights, signaling a significant roster shift.
With under three weeks until preseason begins, the Rangers aim to integrate Tolvanen and Dorofeyev into the rotation to bolster offensive depth before training camp starts.
