Rangers re-sign defenseman Matthew Robertson as camp battle looms
NY Post
The Rangers kept former second-round pick Matthew Robertson in the fold, signing the restricted free agent to a one-year, two-way deal on Monday.
If in the NHL, Robertson will make the league minimum $775,000, The Post’s Mollie Walker reported.
Robertson, who has been in the organization since 2019, has yet to play an NHL game but could have the chance to do so this season.
He will likely be in the competition for the team’s seventh defense spot at training camp along with Chad Ruhwedel and perhaps Ben Harpur after Ruhwedel re-signed last week on a similar two-way deal.
Getting their blue line in order has become a priority for the Rangers this offseason after July 1 came and went without Jacob Trouba being dealt.
The captain looked as though he could be on the move, with the Red Wings believed to be a potential destination, but a trade was held up as he didn’t want to leave New York with his wife’s hospital residency being a factor, per The Post’s Larry Brooks.
With the Yankees on an impressive run of mostly correct decisions, there’s some reason to leave them alone and just let the best team in the American League continue to roll. But they did raise serious doubt and leave room for suggestions (and even ridicule) following maybe the most inexplicable decision of this season, or any season.
The Giants have never been 0-2 under Brian Daboll, until now. They were 2-0 and flying high in 2022 and 1-1 after a rousing comeback in Arizona in 2023. So, this represents a low point as far as early-season difficulties for Daboll and the Giants. They had no business beating the Vikings in the opener and no business losing to the Commanders in Week 2. But here they are.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Harrison Butker kept making a lonely walk to midfield after each quarter Sunday to check on the direction of the wind, which tends to swirl inside Arrowhead Stadium. He did it one last time during the 2-minute warning, when his Chiefs were trailing the Bengals by two and trying to give him a winning field-goal attempt.
