    Though the New York Rangers have little maneuverability under the declining salary cap, they did make one move on the first day of free agency, signing free-agent forward Dominic Moore to a one-year deal, the team announced Friday afternoon.

    Moore's deal is worth $1 million, a source told ESPNNewYork.com.

    Multiple sources informed ESPNNewYork.com the Rangers inquired about Moore, who played for the team previously in 2003-06, both before and immediately after the lockout, though Moore was reeling from the death of his wife, Katie.

    Katie Moore passed away in January 2013 from a rare form of liver cancer at the age of 32.

    When the Rangers expressed interest once the work stoppage ended, Moore was, understandably, not ready to play so soon after his wife's death.

    "There have been options offered. But I'm not at this point accepting them," Moore told The Globe and Mail in March. "I need to take some time."
