New York Rangers Sign Adam Edstrom to Two-Year Extension

The New York Rangers have signed forward Adam Edstrom to a two-year contract worth $1.95 million total, continuing their focus on size and physicality for their bottom-six forwards. Edstrom, a 6-foot-7, 241-pound player from Sweden, played 51 games in the 2024-25 season, setting career highs with five goals and four assists before a lower-body injury in February ended his campaign. Despite missing the final 31 games, Edstrom was a physical presence, ranking third on the team in hits with 94 and showing promising development alongside fellow big forward Matt Rempe. The Rangers see Edstrom as a key part of their bottom-six group, expecting him to return strong for the 2025-26 season after surgery and rehabilitation. Originally drafted in the sixth round in 2019, Edstrom has also contributed in the AHL and helped his Swedish club win the Champions Hockey League title. With this signing, the Rangers have addressed several restricted free agents but still have a few key players to re-sign ahead of next season.
