New York Rangers News: Rangers Sign Jesper Fast
The Rangers have locked up yet another RFA.
You can cross another RFA off the to do list for Jeff Gorton this summer, with Jesper Fast and the organization agreeing to terms per the Rangers official Twitter account.

With Fast now off the board the Rangers have two more pending RFAs, J.T. Miller and Derek Stepan. You know enough about the Stepan negotiations that I will spare you from more analysis, but like I speculated about after the Dylan McIlrath re-signing Miller's pending contract is becoming more and more interesting to me.
The Rangers do not release contract information, so we'll have to wait for more information to become available on that front. Keep reloading this page for an update once we have it. For now, though, you can relax a little more knowing another RFA is taken care of.
Update: Per Larry Brooks Fast signed a two-year deal worth a $950K cap hit. Another fantastic contract from Gorton.
