Ryan Reaves agreed to terms with the New York Rangers on an extension Saturday, a deal that puts the team’s new enforcer under contract through the 2022-23 season. The Rangers acquired Reaves from the Vegas Golden Knights this week for a 2022-third round pick. Reaves’ extension is worth $1.75 million — the same as his current salary cap hit — according to a person with knowledge of the deal. General manager Julien BriseBois said Wednesday — on the first day of free agency — that he was turning his attention to getting deals done with Tampa Bay’s restricted free agents. The team Tampa Bay beat in the 2020 final, the Dallas Stars, re-signed restricted free-agent forward Joel Kiviranta to a $2.1 million, two-year contract.
