Rangers lock down Namestnikov to 2-year deal worth reported $8M

The New York Rangers and forward Vladislav Namestnikov have agreed to terms on a new two-year contract, the club announced Sunday.

While the Rangers didn't disclose the terms, TSN's Pierre LeBrun reports the deal will pay Namestnikov $4 million annually.

The Rangers acquired Namestnikov from the Tampa Bay Lightning as a part of the Ryan McDonagh return at the trade deadline. Between both teams in 2017-18, the 25-year-old had 48 points in 81 games.
