The Rangers signed William Trudeau to a one-year, two-way contract.
Trudeau was a fourth-round pick of the Montreal Canadiens in the 2021 NHL Entry Draft, but never suited up for the team at the NHL level. The 23-year-old defenseman spent the 2025-26 season with the Laval Rocket (AHL), where he scored 20 points (8G / 12A) in 68 games.

The Rangers have signed Dennis Cholowski to a two-year contract worth $875K AAV ($1.75M total).
Cholowski, the 20th-overall pick of the Detroit Red Wings in the 2016 NHL Entry Draft, once viewed as a potential powerplay quarterback, has fallen into more of a depth organizational piece in recent seasons. The 28-year-old defenseman played 17 games last season with the New Jersey Devils, recording two assists.

New York has signed Glenn Gawdin to a two-year, two-way contract.
Gawdin has seen limited NHL action since his professional debut in 2018-19, appearing in just 13 total games. The 29-year-old forward scored 51 points (16G / 35A) last season in 71 games with the Ontario Reign (AHL).
New York has acquired Marcus Pettersson from Vancouver for a 2030 1st round pick (top-10 protected).
The New York Rangers acquired Marcus Pettersson in a trade, reuniting him with head coach Mike Sullivan, who coached him for seven seasons with the Pittsburgh Penguins. The 29-year-old defenseman recorded 18 points (3G / 15A) and a -19 plus/minus last season in 82 games with the Vancouver Canucks.
New York has acquired Cole Beaudoin, Sean Durzi and a 2027 3rd round pick from New York for Vincent Trocheck.
Beaudoin was drafted 24th overall by the Utah Mammoth in the 2024 NHL Entry Draft. The 20-year-old has yet to play at the professional level but is coming off a solid final OHL season, scoring 88 points (33G / 55A) in 54 games with the Barrie Colts.
New York has acquired Sean Durzi, Cole Beaudoin and a 2027 3rd round pick from Utah for Vincent Trocheck.
Durzi has been a high-pedigree, talented defenseman who has been buried behind teams with strong defensive depth, preventing him from showing his full potential. He had 41 points (9G / 32A) in 76 games as a 25-year-old in the 2023-24 season. He recorded 27 points (5G / 22A) and a -12 plus/minus last season in 60 games.
New York has signed Oliver Bjorkstand to a one-year, $4.5 million AAV contract.
For five seasons between 2021 and 2025, Bjorkstrand averaged 54.4 points per 82 games. That said, in the 2025-26 season, his first full season with the Tampa Bay Lightning, the 31-year-old forward battled some adversity, scoring just 32 points (12G / 20A) and recording a -14 plus/minus in 80 games. The Rangers hope Bjorkstrand can return to the scoring consistency he had with the Seattle Kraken and Columbus Blue Jackets.
New York has signed Marc Del Gaizo to a two-year, two-way contract.
Del Gaizo, a fourth-round pick in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft, played a career-high 46 games with the Nashville Predators in the 2024-25 season. That said, the 26-year-old defenseman spent the entire 2025-26 season in the AHL, where he scored 27 points (9G / 18A) in 63 games with the Laval Rocket (AHL).
New York has signed Joe Veleno to a one-year, $1.2 million contract.
Veleno was a first-round pick, 30th overall, of the Detroit Red Wings in the 2018 NHL Entry Draft, but he has failed to live up to that billing, settling into a bottom-six defensive role. The 26-year-old Montreal native spent the 2025-26 season with his hometown Canadiens, scoring five points (2G / 3A) in 61 games.
New York has acquired Joonas Korpisalo from Boston for Kalle Vaisanen and a 2028 fourth-round draft pick.
Korpisalo has spent the previous two seasons as a serviceable backup for the Boston Bruins, but he will head to the New York Rangers in the 2026-27 season to serve as Igor Shesterkin's backup. The 32-year-old Korpisalo posted a 3.15 GAA and .894 SV% last season in 31 appearances (14-9-6).
The Rangers have signed Pavel Dorofeyev to a seven-year contract worth $11.0M AAV ($77.0M total).
Moments after being acquired from the Golden Knights for the No.26 overall pick, the No.92 overall pick, and a conditional 2028 first-round pick, Pavel Dorofeyev signed a seven-year contract worth $11.0M AAV ($77.0M total). The 25-year-old is coming off a career season where he posted career highs in goals (37), assists (27), points (64), PPG (20) and PPP (30) across 82 games played.
7-year, $77,000,000 contract with the New York Rangers. NMC Yrs 3-7 ... 15 team no trade list June 15, 2031 thru June 14, 2032; then 10 team no trade list from June 15, 2032 through term. Expires 2033 (UFA).
