Oscar Lindberg, a top prospect in the New York Rangers' system, will not be leaving the team for the KHL, contrary to media reports in Russia.
Blueshirt Banter was tipped off yesterday that rumors would soon become public of Rangers' prospect reportedly leaving the team and joining AK Bars of the KHL for next season. Sure enough, Russian news source Business Gazetta published a report early this morning claiming that Lindberg's move was done and he would be joining the KHL club.
Lindberg's agent, Michael Reander, denied the report when reached via email for comment.
