NEW YORK -- The New York Rangers and up-and-coming defenseman Braden Schneider have agreed on a two-year, $4.4 million contract extension.
General manager Chris Drury announced the deal with the 22-year-old Schneider on Saturday, leaving fellow defenseman Ryan Lindgren as the only unsigned starter on defense. Lindgren has filed for arbitration.
The announcement came a day after New York added depth to the defense, re-signing veteran Chad Ruhwedel to a one-year deal.
Schneider had career highs last season in games played (82), assists (14), and points (19) and tied his career high with five goals.
