Rangers Sign Brody Lamb To Entry-Level Contract

According to a team announcement, the New York Rangers have signed forward Brody Lamb to a two-year entry-level contract. He’ll spend the rest of the 2025-26 campaign on an amateur tryout agreement with the AHL’s Hartford Wolf Pack.

It’s been a few years since the Rangers selected Lamb with the 104th overall pick of the 2021 NHL Draft. Since then, he spent one year with the USHL’s Green Bay Gamblers during the 2021-22 campaign before spending the last four at the University of Minnesota.

Although he wasn’t very effective during his freshman campaign, Lamb became one of the most consistent scorers for the Golden Gophers. Throughout his last three seasons at the program, Lamb scored 43 goals and 83 points in 113 games with a -6 rating. His collegiate career ended last night against Penn State University in the opening round of the Big Ten Tournament.

It’ll be interesting to see how much playing time Lamb will get with the Wolf Pack to finish off the 2025-26 season. Despite being in last place in the Atlantic Division, Hartford is only four points back of a playoff spot with 16 games remaining on the schedule.

According to Mollie Walker of the New York Post, who originally announced the signing, the Rangers indicated that Lamb will be allowed to compete for a spot in the lineup. Given that the team is 28th in the league in goals scored, the Wolf Pack may benefit from adding a shoot-first forward into the lineup on a nightly basis.
