Last season was one that say the New York Rangers taking home the presidents trophy. In that span of time, there was a period where All Star goaltender Henrik Lundqvist went down with an injury. In the wake of that injury, the New York Rangers had a bright diamond shining through for them in goaltender Cam Talbot.
With the skills that he displayed in that time, and the consistency he showed while still being in the shadow of King Henrik in New York, The Rangers know that there is no use in keeping him and stinting his development.
