Done Deal: Shanny Remains a Ranger

Heart and soul winger, Brendan Shanahan, signed a one year deal with the Rangers for a base of $2.5 million and bonuses that could amount to an additional $1.5 million. The Blueshirts, who are obviously making a Stanley Cup push this year, might have to "pay the piper" next year for parts of today's Shanahan signing. Depending on how much of the bonus money is earned by Shanahan and how close the Rangers keep themselves from the upper cap limit this year, their 2008-2009 upper cap limit could be reduced as a result of this deal.
