PrintNew York, September 30, 2009 - New York Rangers President and General Manager Glen Sather announced today that the club has agreed to terms with unrestricted free agent defenseman Alexei Semenov.
Semenov, 28, skated in 47 games with San Jose last season, registering one goal and eight points, along with 57 penalty minutes. He established career-highs in games played, assists (seven) and points. In addition, Semenov skated in his 200th career NHL game on March 7 at Vancouver.
The 6-6, 245-pounder has skated in 211 career regular season contests with the Edmonton Oilers, Florida Panthers and San Jose Sharks, recording seven goals and 26 assists for 33 points, along with 249 penalty minutes. In 2003-04, Semenov represented Edmonton at the NHL All-Star Weekend as a participant in the NHL YoungStars Game, registering one assist in the contest. As a rookie in 2002-03, Semenov notched his first NHL assist on January 20 at Calgary and tallied his first NHL goal on February 7 against Calgary.
Prior to joining the professional ranks, Semenov skated in 158 career OHL contests over three seasons with the Sudbury Wolves, registering 30 goals and 80 assists for 110 points, along with 269 penalty minutes. He captured the Max Kaminsky Trophy, as the most outstanding defenseman as voted by the OHL general managers, following the 2000-01 season.
The Murmansk, Russia native was originally Edmonton's second round choice, 36th overall, in the 1999 NHL Entry Draft.
Update by Joe Fortunato: As per Andrew Gross the deal is a 1 year 600K deal.

rookie d might need a day off.. or rozi/redden might be so bad we dont want them to play
LET'S GO RANGERS!!!
he is a 7th, maybe he takes some rozi days hopefully.

No, hopefully Rozi plays well enough that you don’t have to consider that option. Ditto the 5 other D-men.
Ideally Semenov’s role would be to just to give guys a day off once and a while, especially during 3 in 4 stretches during the season. If he plays more than 25 games, it’s a problem.

i like it
good signing. veteran d-man with size/exp incase we need him to spot-start, rooks are having trouble adjusting and need a game off or R&R are playing terrible(hopefully rosi gets his act together) plus talk about gettin him on the cheap!
all the pieces seem to be falling into place. so excited that gilroy, mdz, and lisin all made the team. dont think that wouldve happened in years passed. i was actually looking for gilroy in my salary cap fantasy hockey league(dont like spending $ on D) and hes not even on here yet lol. cant wait for friday even though i wont be able to watch(ill be sobbing on the inside). LET"S GO RANGERS!
