The New York Rangers have signed forward Pavel Dorofeyev to a massive seven-year contract extension, according to Pierre LeBrun of TSN and The Athletic. The deal carries an average annual value (AAV) of $11 million, representing a total commitment of $77 million over the life of the contract.
The extension secures Dorofeyev as a cornerstone of the Rangers roster through the 2032-33 season. By locking down the forward to a long-term deal now, the organization has solidified its offensive core and avoided the potential of a looming free agency distraction. The $11 million cap hit places him among the NHL's elite earners, reflecting his significant impact on the team's top-six forward group.
Per LeBrun, the agreement comes after a period of productive negotiations between the club and the player's representatives. The Rangers have prioritized long-term stability with this move, ensuring that one of their most dynamic offensive threats remains in New York for the foreseeable future as they continue their pursuit of a Stanley Cup.
