1. Here is what Henrik Lundqvist wrote in an email on May 6, after the goaltender had made remarks at the World Championships indicating that he might not finish his career as a Ranger:
“My thinking hasn’t changed. The organization and I are on the same page. What I meant is that a player never becomes bigger or more important than an organization. My dream and goal is still to win the Cup in New York before I retire but at the same time, I as a player will be understanding of the position we are in and the process we are in.
