Rangers: Lafreniere’s new 2-year deal creates more chaos for salary cap nightmare

Alexis Lafreniere and the New York Rangers have reportedly agreed to a two-year contract (though not yet officially announced by the team) that will keep the former RFA on Broadway.

After the signing, the team’s current roster has them at the ceiling of $83,546,583 salary cap, per CapFriendly. CapFriendly shows the Blueshirts’ roster consists of 13 forwards, eight defensemen, and two goalies. The club appears to be over the salary cap limit. As of Thursday morning, the Rangers are approximately $46,583 over the salary cap allowance.

However, Puckpedia indicates that the club has a 22-man roster consisting of 13 forwards, seven defensemen, and two goalies.
