Rangers Re-Sign Eminger

The New York Rangers are rounding out their projected line-up quite well and fairly early, on Monday re-signing defenseman Steve Eminger to a 1-year deal, reportedly worth $800,000.

Eminger played in 65 games for the Rangers in 2011, scoring 2 goals and adding 4 assists.  Eminger currently fits in as the team's 6th defenseman, according to his scoring numbers, now making their projected line-up good enough to ice, if the team was to start today.

Salary CapThe Rangers currently have 13 forwards, six defensemen, two goalies, a buyout and a contract overage penalty on the books for a projected annual cap hit of $58.5 million.  In theory, the Rangers only need another defenseman to give them some depth going into the season and they currently have about $5.8 million to spend to do so.
