The New York Rangers announced Monday they have signed left wing Chris Kreider to a seven-year extension:
According to Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet, the deal will pay the 28-year-old about $6.5 million per year.
Rick Carpiniello of The Athletic first reported the extension, noting this takes him out of potential trades ahead of Monday's deadline.
Kreider has spent his entire eight-year career with the Rangers and already has over 20 assists in 2019-20 for the seventh straight season. He also has 24 goals entering Monday, just short of his career high of 28.
