*Junior-aged players who had already turned pro by the end of last season.

Exemption rule : An 18- or 19-year-old player with remaining major junior eligibility, or a player who is drafted from a European team who is then selected in the CHL Import Draft, does not count toward the contract limit until he has played at least 11 NHL games, if the player is assigned to his major-junior team only

Rangers have one possible exemption in Ryan Gropp (41 contracts) but basically have a full NHL roster and are set with D and G in the AHL. Expect some reclamation F signings and trades

His contract will likely slide but he doesn't count as an exemption.

Exception: An 18- or 19-year-old player with remaining major junior eligibility, or a player who is drafted from a European team who is then selected in the CHL Import Draft, does not count toward the contract limit until he has played at least 11 NHL games, if the player is assigned to his major-junior team only.
