Former Falcon Ryan Carpenter pens down a 1-year  contract with the New York Rangers on Thursday. Rangers general manager Chris Drury said that he was targeting a low-salary depth center and he found what he needed. The management signed Ryan to a one-way deal for a League minimum of $750,000. 

Ryan’s signing fortified the club’s option for the fourth line with a low-cost center bringing a lot of qualities that Kevin Rooney did. Coincidentally Rooney signed a deal with the Calgary Flames for 2-years at $1.3 million per year.

As stated on nypost.com, Ryan is expected to have a good call on the fourth line as most of the other candidates are wingers. In the last season with Chicago Blackhawks and Calgary Flames, he had a total of 3 goals and 9 assists in 67 games.
