The New York Rangers are trying to supercharge their retooling effort by adding a player fresh off helping a team surge through the playoffs to the Stanley Cup Final. The Rangers acquired the rights to restricted free agent winger Pavel Dorofeyev from the Vegas Golden Knights for the 26th pick Friday night, No. 98 Saturday and a top-10 protected 2028 first-rounder.

Out West, Colorado re-signed defensemen Brent Burns and Brett Kulak, fresh off winning the Presidents’ Trophy and losing in the conference final to Vegas. Burns, 41, signed for next season, his 23rd in the league, at the veteran minimum of $850,000 and can make up to $3 million in incentives.
