During the New York Rangers' breakup day, General Manager Chris Drury hinted at Braden Schneider's future with the team, calling him a 'terrific young right-shot defenseman.' Schneider, who turns 25 in September, is a restricted free agent with arbitration rights this summer. After a challenging season where he struggled with underlying metrics, including a 43.26% expected goal share, questions arise about his long-term role. Despite this, Schneider led the Rangers with 140 blocked shots and played all 82 games. He expressed pride in being a Ranger and a desire to improve his game, particularly in puck movement and offensive production, where he scored a career-low two goals this season. The Rangers are also looking to acquire another puck-moving defenseman, which could influence Schneider's future with the organization.
