Despite asking for a trade, Julien Gauthier has re-signed with the Rangers on a one year deal worth $800,000.
Gauthier is smart to re-sign now, before the draft, as signed players are easier to trade than unsigned players, even if they are RFAs. Gauthier now has a cost certainty to his value, and at under $1 million, would likely have more than a few teams interested in a cheap winger with his skill set.
It is highly unlikely that Gauthier is with the Rangers to start next season.
