Rangers sign RFA Dylan McIlrath to 1-year deal
by from on (#1ME6V)
The New York Rangers have signed restricted free-agent defenseman Dylan McIlrath to a one-year contract, the team announced Friday.
Terms of the deal weren't disclosed, but General Fanager reports it to be worth $800,000.
Both sides now avoid arbitration, as McIlrath had a hearing scheduled for July 21.
Last season, the 24-year-old played 34 games for the Rangers, registering four points and 64 penalty minutes.
McIlrath joins forward J.T. Miller - who signed a two-year contract Wednesday - as the second Ranger to avoid arbitration, with forwards Kevin Hayes and Chris Kreider awaiting deals as RFA's.
