Mara Re-Signs With Rangers

Sam Weinman at The Rangers Report says that Paul Mara has signed a 1 year $1.95 million contract with the Rangers. Weinman also has this quote from Mara on why he re-signed with the Rangers...

“There was interest from other teams but I wanted to win in New York. So there was stuff left on the table, but it doesn’t mean anything if you don’t win,” Mara said by phone just now. “After all the signings and trades, people are excited and ready for it. Everything we have brought in is the pieces of the puzzle to win a Stanley Cup.”

...wow. Great quote from Mara. I suddenly like him a lot. I'm surprised he wanted to re-sign with the Ranger. It never seemed like the Rangers used him properly during his tenure on the team.

...looks like this signing means the Rangers won't be giving Hutchinson or Pock a shot this year. Although with Mara re-signing our defense look a lot better than last year. At least on paper.
