Breaking Down All The Latest New York Rangers' Trade Rumors The New York Rangers have agreed on a five-year contract extension with defenseman Will Borgen. The 28-year-old will reportedly make $4.1 million per season with this new extension according to multiple NHL insiders. The Rangers traded for Borgen from the Seattle Kraken on Dec. 18 in a package that included Kaapo Kakko. Borgen has served a big role since arriving in New York as Peter Laviolette credits him with helping turnaround the Rangers’ season. “For me, he’s a big reason why things quieted down here a little bit,” Laviolette said about Borgen. “You are right about Will, he skates well, he is physical, he plays with an edge , he doesn't back down from anybody. I think he’s done a real good job.” In 17 games with the Rangers, Borgen has recorded one goal, two assists and three points while averaging 18:35 minutes.
