Panarin led the Rangers in points yet again last season, after putting up 37-goals and 89 points in 80 games played.
New York announced the signing of a pair of goaltenders on Sunday after they signed ECHL starter Tayln Boyko to a one-year, two-way contract extension.

He is expected to start 2025-26 as Hartford's (AHL) backup.

Raddysh will join his third NHL team in the last three seasons after agreeing to a two-year, $3 million contract ($1.5M AAV) with the Rangers on Day 1 of Free Agency. The 27-year-old is likely to play a bottom-six role in 2024-25 but has proven to have enough scoring ability to temporarily hold down a top-six spot if needed, as shown by his 20 goals and 37 points with Chicago in 2022-23.
New York will continue to add to its long list of signings on Tuesday after bringing in veteran defensemen Derrick Pouliot to a two-year, $1.55 million contract ($775,000 AAV).

Dowling played a career-high 52 games with the New Jersey Devils last season, scoring seven points (2G / 5A). The 34-year-old forward has played 152 career games and will likely continue his role as a depth forward, battling for lineup deployment with the Rangers.
One of the biggest free agency targets is off the board after New York announced Tuesday that they have signed Vladislav Gavrikov to a seven-year deal worth $7.0M AAV ($49.0M total).

Edstrom graduated to a full-time NHLer in 2024-25, and the 6-foot-7 winger had nine points (5G / 4A) in 51 games. Expect the 2019 sixth-round pick to serve as a fourth liner for the Rangers again in 2025-26.
