Rangers' Chris Summers: Signs one-year deal

Summers signed a one-year, two-way deal worth $600,000 with the Rangers on Tuesday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.

The contract's worth $350,000 at the AHL level. Summers was a first-round pick (No. 29 overall by the Coyotes) back in 2006, but has never panned out into much of an NHL player. The 28-year-old spent most of this past season in AHL Hartford, accumulating 11 points in 74 contests, and got into just three scoreless games with the Rangers. Summers is likely in for another season as a depth defenseman in 2016-17.
