RYAN MCDONAGH RUMORS
Grading the Rangers’ defense
Defense was a hallmark of the 2011-2012 New York Rangers. It was arguably the key ingredient in their run to the Eastern Conference Finals. They had an unwavering commitment to shot-blocking and solid play in their own end. Even without a ton of roster turnover, the unit was not as proficient as they were last season, but still had a solid campaign overall. Let’s look at...
Qualifying offer numbers for RFAs

Rangers Begin Contract Talks With McDonagh
Another #NYR note: Rangers and reps for RFA D Ryan McDonagh have held preliminary contract talks, but nothing serious yet
— Katie Strang (@KatieStrangESPN) June 11, 2013
McDonagh just completed a three year deal that paid him $1.3 million per year ($875K salary + $425K performance bonus + $87.5K signing bonus).

Estimating Ryan McDonagh’s next contract
Ryan McDonagh is going to be the trickiest RFA to sign.
When news broke yesterday of Roman Josi’s new contract with the Nashville Predators ($28 million over 7 years), focus immediately shifted to Ryan McDonagh. After all, McDonagh and Josi are very comparable players. They are both coming off their ELCs. They are both top-pairing defensemen. They are both arbitration eligible...
Gauging Ryan McDonagh’s RFA Market
Perhaps the most important task on the agenda of Glen Sather (or whomever may be calling the shots on Manhattan) this summer is extending the contract of shutdown defender Ryan McDonagh. We’ve already assessed the value of fellow RFA Derek Stepan and determined he is going to be expensive. McDonagh, given his performance through the [...]
NHL playoffs: Best of Tuesday
Nothing like a Rangers goal to shut up Pierre McGuire.
The NBC Sports analyst was going on and on in the second period about how awful the New York power play breakout was, how it was "free-lancing."
Shortly after his tirade, Ryan McDonagh scored to basically zip McGuire's lips. The goal gave the Rangers a 1-0 lead, but they went on to lose Game 3 to the visiting...

Lineup changes: Girardi and McDonagh back together
Per Andrew Gross, Dan Girardi and Ryan McDonagh are back together as a pairing on defense. After an abysmal Game Two with Michael Del Zotto, Girardi will be reunited with McDonagh to form that top shutdown pair the Rangers split up after the Washington series. Del Zotto will be with Anton Stralman, and the John Moore-Steve Eminger pair remains the same.
The change is likely two-fold...
Why Was McDonagh's Fateful Final Shift 3 Minutes & 4 Seconds Long?
An average shift in the NHL is usually anywhere between 45-60 seconds. So when Ryan McDonagh was out there for a three minute and four second marathon shift in overtime, I guess we can all understand why his clearing attempt was off the mark leading to a delay of game penalty that eventually cost the Rangers the game.
But now the question is, why the heck was he out there so...
Ryan McDonagh Signs in KHL
New York Rangers defenseman Ryan McDonagh has become the third Blueshirt to sign overseas during the current NHL lockout, inking a deal with HC Barys Astana of the KHL. McDonagh follows in the footsteps of teammates Rick Nash and Carl Hagelin, who made the jump from North America several weeks ago. McDonagh actually held out for quite a while, turning down two previous offers to...
Player Review: Ryan McDonagh
Ryan McDonagh is a special kind of hockey player that the Rangers are extremely fortunate to have on their hands. For a kid that was only recalled by the Rangers in December of 2010, it's amazing that he is already among the League's best shutdown defensemen in 2012. It's been a pleasure watching Ryan mature and grow into the powerhouse that he now is, and the best is...
