| Pos | Role | Name |
| C | 1 | Derek Stepan  ActiveDerek Stepan finished with the fourth-most faceoff wins of the playoffs (215), yet that might be an area he'd like to improve upon in 2014-15. Stepan only won 42.2 percent of his draws in the playoffs. He was also weak in that regard in the regular season, going 829-1512, a 45.2 winning percent. Jun 15 |
| 2 | Derick Brassard ActiveDerick Brassard and the New York Rangers have agreed to terms on a new contract, thus avoiding a salary-arbitration hearing. There are reports that the contract is worth $25 million for five years. Brassard, 27 in September, had been a restricted free agent. His arbitration session with the Rangers was scheduled for Monday. Brassard had a career-high 18 goals in 81 games last season for the Rangers. He also scored 45 points, which ranked fourth on the team. He also tied for fourth on the team with 12 points in the post-season. In 403 games with the Rangers and Columbus Blue Jackets, Brassard has 81 goals and 225 points. He is likely to serve as the Rangers' second-line center next season, behind Derek Stepan. Jul 27 |
| 3 | Dominic Moore ActiveDominic Moore said he is "grateful" to stick with the Rangers after signing a two-year contract extension this offseason. Moore has played for nine different teams in his nine full NHL seasons, twice playing for New York. He had an excellent season after a year away from hockey to cope with the death of his wife. "It was an amazing last two months to the season," said Moore. "It took me a while to get back up to speed. There were no shortcuts. But to think about how far we went as a team after the way we started the season was something that was very rewarding personally." Jul 6 |
| 4 | Chris Mueller ActiveThe Rangers have signed former Dallas Star farmhand Chris Mueller to a contract. If he makes the Rangers out of training camp it will likely be in a bottom six role. As a result, Mueller has no fantasy value. Jul 1 |
| LW | 1 | Chris Kreider ActiveChris Kreider signed a two-year, $4.95 million contract with the New York Rangers. Kreider and the Rangers narrowly avoided an arbitration hearing scheduled for Wednesday. Kreider had asked for $2.8 million annually while the Rangers countered with $2.05 million per season, so the two sides agreed to a deal in the middle. He had 17 goals and 37 points in 66 games in 2013-14. Jul 23 |
| 2 | Carl Hagelin ActiveCarl Hagelin scored a breakaway shorthanded goal in the first period of Game 1 of the Stanley Cup on Wednesday night, but it was not enough as the Rangers lost 3-2 in overtime. Hagelin's goal put the Rangers up 2-0, but the resilient Kings got a goal back in the first, the equalizer in the second, dominated the third and wrapped the game up in overtime. Hagelin nearly won the game for the Rangers again on a breakaway late in the game, but was stopped by Jonathan Quick in the frantic final minutes. Hagelin played an excellent game, and has been superb during the Rangers playoff run in which he has 12 points in 22 games. Jun 4 |
| 3 | J.T. Miller ActiveJ.T. Miller (shoulder) hopes to be ready for Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final. Miller resumed practicing with the Rangers on Tuesday. He was previously regarded as doubtful for Wednesday's contest, but we'll have to wait and see. Rangers coach Alain Vigneault is likely to continue to play his cards close to his chest when it comes to injury information. Jun 4 |
| 4 | Tanner Glass ActiveThe New York Rangers have signed Tanner Glass to a three-year/$4.35 million deal. The Rangers get a tough bottom-six forward who should fit in nicely on the fourth line. He had 13 points and 90 penalty minutes for the Penguins last season. Jul 1 |
| 5 | Matthew Lombardi ActiveMatthew Lombardi has signed a two-year, $1.6 million contract with the New York Rangers. Lombardi had 20 goals and 50 points in 46 Swiss league games last season. He's a veteran of 536 NHL games and will provide the Rangers with some secondary scoring. It's certainly not a bad signing given the cost. Jul 16 |
| 6 | Nick Tarnasky ActiveNick Tarnasky has signed on with the New York Rangers. He registered 22 points and 144 penalty minutes in 76 games last season with the AHL's Hamilton Bulldogs. Tarnasky hasn't played in the NHL since the 2009-10 campaign when he skated in 31 games with Florida. Jul 3 |
| 7 | Chris Bourque ActiveChris Bourque has signed a one-year, two-way deal with the New York Rangers. The terms of the agreement weren't immediately available. Bourque had a goal and four points in 18 games with Boston in 2013. After that he spent a season in Europe, recording 13 points in 21 Swiss league games and another two points in 11 KHL contests. Jul 2 |
| RW | 1 | Martin St. Louis ActiveThe New York Rangers only away game against the Tampa Bay Lightning takes place on Nov. 26, setting the stage for a potentially emotional night for Martin St. Louis. Naturally, injuries and other variables could mean that he might not even play at all. St. Louis seems to have a sense of the moment (he scored two goals after being snubbed by Team Canada, for instance), so Nov. 26 would be a no-brainer start for him, especially. Jun 22 |
| 2 | Mats Zuccarello ActiveMats Zuccarello has agreed to a one-year, $3.55 million contract. Zuccarello reportedly wanted $4.5 million annual salary as part of a long-term deal, but the Rangers probably favored giving him a "show me" contract instead. He had 19 goals and 59 points in 77 games last season, but his previous campaigns in the NHL had been something of a mixed bag. Jul 22 |
| 3 | Rick Nash ActiveAfter Rick Nash scored a mere three goals in the recent post-season, there's been plenty of speculation that the New York Rangers would try to trade the highly paid, high-profile right winger. Larry Brooks, however, insists in a New York Post column that such a trade will not be happening. "Nash has a no-move clause in his contract in force through the end of this season that management has no intention of asking him to waive and No. 61 has no intention of volunteering to forfeit," Brooks writes. "The Rangers are not asking Nash to leave town after two seasons on Broadway in which he led the team in goal-scoring both times, and No. 61 is not asking for an exit from New York after recording a sum of four goals in 37 playoff games. The concept is not on the table for either party." Jul 13 |
| 4 | Lee Stempniak ActiveThe New York Rangers have confirmed that they've signed veteran forward Lee Stempniak to a contract and reports suggest it's worth $900,000 for one year. Stempniak, 31, played 73 games last season with the Calgary Flames and Pittsburgh Penguins. He had 12 goals, 22 assists and 32 penalty minutes. Jul 19 |
| 5 | Jesper Fast ActiveJesper Fast's status for Game 1 Thursday night is unclear. He didn't take part in the team's morning skate and his absence was described as a "maintenance morning" by coach Alain Vigneault. Fast played three games with the Rangers during his NHL stint to end the regular season and he's expected to play in the playoffs if he's available. Apr 17 |
| D | 1 | Ryan McDonagh ActiveRyan McDonagh might be the next captain of the New York Rangers. Coach Alain Vigneault said a decision on who wears the "C" won't be made until around training camp in the fall, but he does have an idea of who it will be. "I've got an idea of where I'm leaning, but I'm not going to share it with you," Vigneault said. "I will seek feedback from a couple of players and I will give everyone that's been around our team some input and I'm pretty sure we'll be real close to a consensus." The 25-year-old defender stepped into a role as a more vocal leader this past season because of his growing confidence and he got to learn from veteran players like Brad Richards and Martin St. Louis along the way. Dan Girardi and Marc Staal are expected to remain the team's assistant captains. New York hasn't had a captain since the team traded Ryan Callahan to Tampa Bay. Jun 19 |
| 2 | Daniel Girardi ActiveDaniel Girardi suffered a dislocated pinkie in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final. The pinkie was popped back into place and he didn't end up missing any playing time over the ailment. He feels healthy otherwise, so he shouldn't be limited while training this summer. Jun 17 |
| 3 | Dan Boyle ActiveOne of the reasons Dan Boyle decided to sign with the New York Rangers was the prospect of being reunited with Martin St. Louis. "It was a big factor," Boyle said. "Him and I kept in touch. Unfortunately, with the passing of his mom, we talked through that. Him going to the Final, me being a UFA. We kept in touch. I'm not going to be the oldest guy on the team, that's also why I wanted to go. Marty is definitely a big reason. Him and I have had similar careers. it's a great opportunity to play with him." Boyle and St. Louis won the Stanley Cup as members of the Tampa Bay Lightning in 2004. Boyle was also interested in playing for an Original Six team after previously playing in non-traditional markets. Jul 7 |
| 4 | Marc Staal ActiveMarc Staal has one year left on his current contract. He would like to get something worked out this summer, but added that it wouldn't be a big deal if it didn't happen. Staal appeared in 72 games during the 2013-14 campaign after he was limited to 21 during the lockout-shortened season and 46 outings the year before. Jun 16 |
| 5 | Kevin Klein ActiveKevin Klein had his best game as a Ranger on Friday night. The blueliner had two assists in 18:03 and he blocked three shots. Klein won't wow you in the offensive department -- he has six points on the season -- but he's a steady, stay-at-home blueliner. There was some thought that he could take a seat for Raphael Diaz, but this game should put that on hold for now. Mar 15 |
| 6 | John Moore ActiveJohn Moore returned to action on Saturday after missing a couple of games due to a suspension. Moore missed the last game of the Eastern Conference final and the first game of the Stanley Cup as he was suspended for an illegal check on the Habs Dale Weise. Moore played 19:07 minutes with a couple of hits and a blocked shot Saturday. Jun 8 |
| 7 | Matt Hunwick ActiveMatt Hunwick has agreed to a one-year deal worth $600,000 with the New York Rangers. With Anton Stralman leaving for Tampa Bay via free agency, Hunwick has a chance to earn a roster spot with the Blueshirts after skating in just one game with Colorado this past season. Jul 1 |
| 8 | Mike Kostka ActiveThe New York Rangers have signed defenseman Mike Kostka to a one-year contract. No terms have been announced. Kostka is a depth defenseman who will see limited action with the Rangers unless there are significant injuries. Jul 1 |
| G | 1 | Henrik Lundqvist ActiveHenrik Lundqvist was outstanding in the New York Rangers' net Friday night, despite his team's loss in double overtime to the Los Angeles Kings. "I told you going into the playoffs that I wanted to leave everything out there," said Lundqvist, whose team was outshot 92-49 over the last two games and 51-30 in the Friday decider. "I prepared so hard for every game, I have never been so tired. "I feel like I did everything I could in my preparation to help the team win but it was not enough against this really good team. We had to go through so much to get here." Jun 14 |
| 2 | Cameron Talbot ActiveCameron Talbot's non-displaced fracture in his right hand was sustained during warmups prior to Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Final. "I was getting out of the net and just reached back to bat another puck out of the air and it went back towards the middle of the net and caught me right on the hand and ended up breaking a bone in the right hand," he said. He was going to test it on the ice this past Sunday, but the Rangers lost in five games during the Stanley Cup Final. Jun 19 |
