Ryan Lindgren‘s future with the Rangers is a topic not many want to discuss, but will creep into the daily discussions pretty quickly. The 25 year old (26 in February) defenseman is entering the final year of his $3 million contract, and will be a restricted free agent next summer. Naturally, there is concern over his next contract, and there is no clear cut answer on how to manage his next contract, whether it’s with the Rangers or not.
The concern isn’t necessarily with Lindgren right now. He’s a top pairing defenseman on a team with a strong (on paper) blue line.
