Rangers' Dylan McIlrath: Agrees to new contract

McIlrath finalized a new one-year, $800,000 deal with the Rangers on Friday.

Analysis:

As a restricted free agent, McIlrath was set to have an arbitration hearing before reaching an agreement with the team. The blueliner struggled for consistent ice time both as a healthy scratch and due to injuries, and was only able to play in 34 contests. The 24-year-old's biggest contributions in terms of fantasy have come as a frequent visitor to the sin bin as he logged 64 PIM last season, falling just under two minutes per game in that category.
