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 the team's offensive roster overhaul.
The 27-year-old Finnish winger was the 30th overall pick by the Nashville Predators in 2017 and has recorded 92 goals and 98 assists across 423 career NHL games.
Tolvanen plays a defensive-minded, physical style fitting the Rangers' needs and previously found success with Seattle Kraken teammate Oliver Bjorkstrand, demonstrating versatility on either wing.
This acquisition follows New York's trade of Vincent Trocheck to the Utah Mammoth and the 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 before training camp to stabilize the lineup.
