New York Rangers Sign Will Borgen to Five-Year, $20.5 Million Extension

The 28-year-old defenseman has been a key factor in the Rangers' defensive improvements since joining the team in December.

Will Borgen's new contract carries a $4.1 million annual average value and secures him with the Rangers through the 2029-2030 season.
Borgen, acquired from the Seattle Kraken in a December trade for Kaapo Kakko, has quickly become a vital part of the Rangers' blue line.
Since joining the team, Borgen has contributed one goal, two assists, and 29 blocked shots while averaging over 18 minutes of ice time per game.
He has been paired with K'Andre Miller on the second defensive line, providing physicality and stability to the team's restructured defense.
The extension reflects the Rangers' commitment to building a more defensively solid and playoff-ready roster as they aim to climb the standings.
