The Rangers have re-signed two of their key AHL skaters from last season today.
Nicklas Jensen, who came over from Vancouver in the Emerson Etem trade, and Mat Bodie have signed new contracts today. By agreeing with both restricted free agents the Rangers have scratched two items off of their offseason “to do list” and will avoid arbitration with both players.
Jensen is a forward that has quite a few Rangers fans talking. In addition to being a standout in the shootout, he had a great World Championship with team Denmark. Fast, crafty, and productive at the AHL level, there are a lot of things to like about Jensen’s game and potential.
