Not a chance in heck I pick up Lundqvist with that contract. $8.5 a year, and if our RFA's like Bennett come on you're trading them because a 37/38 year old tender is eating up your cap space. Our "window" is open, and we need to maintain some kind of flexibility to keep core players around.
Rangers would have to take Smith and eat half his salary before I even entertain it.
Hard pass. That salary causes way too many problems and his age is too much of a risk.
