With a career spanning player, broadcaster, and executive roles — including a Stanley Cup Final appearance with the Rangers in ’79 and calling their ’94 championship run — Davidson brings unmatched insight and league-wide connections to Buffalo. Kekalainen highlights his elite player evaluation skills as key to his new role, positioning him to guide the Sabres across the entire hockey department. For Davidson, this is yet another chapter in a lifelong journey through every facet of the game.

Braden Schneider Stays With Rangers | New York Rangers News

Braden Schneider is back for another season with the Rangers on a one-year deal, cementing his role as a defensive anchor and workhorse. The 24-year-old led the team in blocked shots (140) and hits (163) last year, posting 18 points in 82 games while logging career-high ice time. Since his 2022 debut, he’s played in nearly every game, including all playoff appearances, and is one of just nine NHL players to reach 600+ hits and 500+ blocked shots since 2022. Drafted 19th overall in 2020, Schneider’s durability, grit, and consistent performance make him a vital piece of the Rangers’ blue line.
