Despite playing on an expiring contract, Martin St. Louis has no plans to retire or leave the Big Apple this offseason.

Speaking to the New York Post prior to New York Rangers' final home game Thursday night, the soon-to-be 40-year-old said he hopes to retire with his current team.

“There’s no doubt that I want to play next year. Period,” St. Louis said. “And for sure, yes, I want to play here. I want to finish my career as a Ranger."

The Presidents' Trophy winners have already locked up pending unrestricted free agents Cam Talbot, Marc Staal and Mats Zuccarello this season, but St. Louis contract remains to be addressed.

Playing out the final year of a four-year, $22.5 million contract he signed with the Tampa Bay Lightning prior to the 2011-12 season, St. Louis said retiring a Ranger is not a new plan for him.

“I was targeting being a Ranger for a long time,” he said. “I always wanted to come here, I always hoped I could finish my career here."

The Laval, QC native was traded to the Rangers from the Lightning on Trade Deadline day of last season, in a captain for captain deal with Ryan Callahan. In addition to Callahan, the Lightning also received a 2015 first-round pick and a second-round pick that year.

St. Louis scored eight goals and added seven assists in the Rangers playoff run last season as the team fell to the Los Angeles Kings in the Stanley Cup Finals.

In 73 games this season, he has 21 goals and 50 points.

St. Louis is a six-time All-Star, two-time Art Ross winner and was awarded the Hart trophy in the 2003-04 season. He won the Stanley Cup as a member of the Lightning in 2004.
