Derrick Pouliot has signed a two year, two way contract with the Rangers, where he will earn $775k in the NHL and $425k in the AHL. At 31 years old, he has spent much of the last six seasons in the AHL, suggesting this move enhances AHL depth. However, his Stanley Cup experience with the Penguins under Mike Sullivan provides familiarity that could lead to NHL call-ups. Two-way deals are primarily concerned with salary rather than waivers.
Derrick Pouliot has been added to the Rangers' defensive depth on a two year, two way contract, earning $775k in the NHL and $425k in the AHL.
At 31 years old, Pouliot has played most of the last six seasons in the AHL, indicating this move is likely more for AHL depth but allows for potential NHL call-ups.
Familiarity comes into play as Pouliot is a Stanley Cup winner with the Penguins under coach Mike Sullivan, contributing to his value on the roster.
Two-way deals remain significant in determining salaries, but they do not impact waiver status, indicating a strategic signing without long-term NHL expectations.
