Rangers Sign Adam Erne To PTO

September 10, 2024 at 10:21 am CDT | by Brennan McClain Leave a Comment

TSN’s Darren Dreger reports the New York Rangers are bringing in forward Adam Erne to training camp on a professional tryout agreement. Erne had difficulty finding recurring playing time with the Edmonton Oilers last year and will now try his luck at the bottom of the Rangers’ forward core.

Erne was considered a mid-first-round talent heading into the 2013 NHL Draft but ultimately fell to the second round at 33rd overall to the Tampa Bay Lightning. Erne debuted with the Lightning in the 2016-17 season, collecting three goals in 29 contests. Most of his success early on in his professional career came with the AHL’s Syracuse Crunch where Erne’s physicality and knack for goal-scoring made him an effective player in the NHL.

His “coming out party” came during the 2018-19 season when he scored seven goals and 20 points in 65 games. The Lightning iced one of the best teams in NHL history that season and Erne played an important role in the team’s bottom-six. Erne’s entry-level contract expired at the end of the season and with cap struggles beginning in Tampa Bay the team traded him to the Detroit Red Wings for a fourth-round pick in 2020.

Erne’s run in Detroit is the most successful stretch in his career. He had much larger access to ice time on a rebuilding Red Wings roster as he worked his way into the team’s middle-six. Erne skated in 241 games with Detroit scoring 27 goals and 62 points while earning a two-year, $4.2MM contract with the team from 2021-2023.

Almost a year ago today, Erne signed with the Oilers on a PTO and signed a one-year, league-minimum contract nearly a month later. He skated in 24 games for Edmonton throughout the 2023-24 regular season scoring one goal and two points overall. Much of his time was spent with the organization’s AHL affiliate in Bakersfield where he scored six goals and 12 points in 36 games.

The Rangers’ top three forward lines are effectively set heading into the 2024-25 NHL season but there could be some wiggle room on the bottom line. Erne will compete with Jimmy Vesey, Sam Carrick, and Matt Rempe for playing time on the team’s fourth line and will have nearly a month to prove his worth to the organization.
