Rangers sign Yegor Rykov to ELC

Anthony Scultore Updated: May 17, 2019

The Rangers have announced the signing of KHL defenseman Yegor Rykov who was acquired from the Devils in the Michael Grabner deadline deal in 2018.

Yegor Rykov signed a two year deal (entry level contract) with the @NYRangers with a European Clause if he wants to go back in the KHL. He played for Sochi last season. Drafted in 5th round in 2016 by the #NYR

To correct Lavoie’s tweet, Rykov was drafted by the NJD. Rykov’s out clause isn’t uncommon, and it wouldn’t surprise me if he used it should he be unable to crack the Rangers lineup by 2021.
