The Rangers have had "some basically, preliminary talks" with their three key restricted free agents, Derek Stepan, Ryan McDonagh and Carl Hagelin, according to ESPN's Katie Strang. These discussions will continue this weekend, Strang says. The Rangers' offseason, now that they've found a new coach, centers on getting these core players locked up. McDonagh ($1.3 million) and Stepan ($875,000) should be due some decent raises, while Hagelin should get a tick more than the $875,000 he made last year, too.
