Unfortunately, after more than a decade of sustained success, the Henrik Lundqvist era is going to go out with a whimper. The New York Ranger’s signature player has done all he could to drag lesser teams as far as possible. Now, with just three years remaining on his contract, the goaltender will have the worst team of his entire career in front of him.
First, there is the overall issue of the roster’s fluidity. Outside of a few players, there really is no sense of long term consistency. Pretty much anyone on the roster aside from Filip Chytil and Lias Andersson are fair game for a trade.
