Rangers’ Re-Sign Forward Callahan to Two-Year Contract

The New York Rangers have announced that they have re-signed right wing Ryan Callahan to a two-year contract worth $4.6 million, avoiding arbitration with the young winger. The deal averages out to $2.3 million per season. In 81 games last season with the Rangers, Callahan scored 22 goals and 18 assists for 40 points. In 147 career games, all with the Rangers, he has 34 goals and 25 assists for 59 points. This is a good signing for the Rangers, as Callahan is quickly emerging as one the team’s top young forwards. He’s also a good two-way player who plays very hard on the ice. If Callahan can continue to better his offensive skills, he could become a top-six forward with the team over the next two years.
