Breaking: Rangers announce two big signings on Wednesday.

The Rangers announced two very important signings on Wednesday. The team has officially announced the signing of both Jesper Fast and J.T. Miller, both players will stay with the team on short term deals. Fast received a two-year year deal worth a reported $1.9 million dollars, a very friendly deal for the cap-strapped Rangers. The forward split time between the AHL and NHL last season but was still la solid contributor appearing in 58 NHL games. Miller on the other hand accepted a qualifying offer for a one-year deal that will pay him an estimated $874,000, Larry Brooks of the New York Post believes this move from Miller was designed to protect his arbitration rights for next season. There's no denying that given the Rangers current cap situation these were two very important deals, and getting them both at under a million dollars annually is huge for the Rangers.
