Rangers land Dorofeyev on seven-year, $77 million pact
New York reportedly acquired Pavel Dorofeyev from Vegas and are signing him to a seven-year contract around $11 million per season; Dorofeyev, who posted back-to-back 30-goal seasons (35-52 in 2024-25 and 37-64 in 2025-26), is expected to bolster the Rangers’ offense, potentially on the top power-play unit. In return, Vegas receives Dallas’ 2026 first-round pick (26nd overall), Buffalo’s 2026 third-round pick (92nd), and a top-10 protected 2028 first-round pick, as the Knights manage cap space. Dorofeyev remains a restricted free agent with arbitration rights; the deal signals New York’s commitment to a longer-term scoring core.
