Sep 02 (Field Level Media) - The New York ​Rangers are reportedly continuing their offensive makeover, agreeing to a one-year contract with winger Eeli ‌Tolvanen on Tuesday.

According to PuckPedia, the deal is for $1.5 million.

The ⁠Finnish-born Tolvanen, 27, tallied ​12 goals and 36 ⁠points with a minus-18 rating in 78 ‌games with the ‌Seattle Kraken last season. That marked the fewest ⁠goals he has scored ⁠in a season since 2021-22 with the Nashville Predators, but the points mark was the second highest of his career.

In eight NHL seasons, Tolvanen has 92 goals and 98 assists with ‌a minus-37 rating across ​423 games.

Tolvanen was drafted 30th overall by Nashville in 2017 and spent the first four-plus seasons of his career with the Predators. The Kraken selected him off waivers in December 2022.

In late June, the Rangers acquired Pavel Dorofeyev from ​the Vegas Golden Knights in exchange for two ‌first-round picks and ‌a ⁠third-round pick. On July 1, New York sent Vincent Trocheck to the Utah Mammoth for defenseman Sean Durzi, forward Cole Beaudoin and two third-round draft ‌choices. Those moves ​came on the heels of ‌the Rangers' trade ⁠of ​Artemi Panarin to the Los Angeles Kings last season.
