According to reports, the New York Rangers have officially re-signed defenseman Steve Eminger to a one-year deal worth $800k.Eminger, 27, scored two goals and four assists in 65 games last season. He finished a minus-5 rating with 22-penalty minutes last season, and he was acquired last summer from the Anaheim Ducks in exchange for forwards Aaron Voros and Ryan Hiller.
Despite being picked 12th overall in the 2002 NHL draft, Eminger has already spent time with six different NHL teams, and he has yet to live up to his original expectation of a marquee puck-moving defenseman--who once recorded 58 points in 64 games with the OHL's Kitchener Rangers.
Eminger spent the 2010-11 season as a sixth- and seventh-defenseman for the Rangers, and he will likely play the same role this coming season.
