Zac Jones secures two-year extension with Rangers, eyes full-time spot on lineup.
The New York Rangers signed defenseman Zac Jones to a two-year, one-way deal worth $800,000 in the first season and $825,000 in the second. The deal ensures that both parties avoid arbitration next summer. The Rangers need Jones to establish himself as a full-time NHL player in their top six, and it is believed that he has outgrown the American Hockey League. Jones will be competing with Ben Harpur for the sixth defenseman role come training camp.
