"The New York Rangers' offseason was dominated by the signing of Brad Richards. Richards was signed to a mammoth nine-year, $60 million contract to help solve their problem of not having a true playmaker to set up Marian Gaborik and lead their offense.
With Richards in place, Chris Drury bought out and made a free agent, and Brian Boyle locked up to a three-year deal while they await deals to be finalized with restricted free agents Brandon Dubinsky and Ryan Callahan there are some potential roster questions left to be answered in New York.
According to CapGeek.com, the Rangers have just over $53 million committed to the cap with Dubinsky and Callahan waiting to be signed. Depending on whether or not Glen Sather or the salary arbitrators have some salary savvy in them, you can expect both of them to get a nice a raise. Callahan's last contract had him making $2.3 million on the cap and Dubinsky's deal had him making $1.85 million. As both players had better years, you can expect them to get paid a bit more and perhaps for long term deals as well."
