[News] Rangers to buyout Henrik Lundqvist

[Gaskal]

I would sign the King, if only to make the constant joke that the Rangers are paying him more to not play for them than we are paying for him actually to play for us.

[ForeverFlameFan]

Wonder if Krug signs there. They need a LD.

Last year I tried to make the constant joke that we were paying Michael Stone more to not to play for us than we were for him to play for us.

Nobody got it

Do thd rangers really need all this cap space this season??

[Jacks]

Can't imagine he will leave NY to play back up somewhere cheap, he's made a boatload of money in his career.

Actually Tampa could use a back up next year, barf.

[savemedrzaius]

Leafs should trade Andersen and sign Lundquist for 2 million.


Then after every win Nylander can destroy Hank in celebration.

It's more about their two young goalies that are ready for the NHL than it is about cap space. Hank was third on the depth chart, and they're not putting him in the AHL, and they don't want to carry three goalies again.

And also about no takers at full price.

Call me disrespectful but Lundqvist has been washed up for a couple years now. I’m surprised the Rags did this to him at this stage but I’m sure if a team doesn’t sign him as a backup (if they have no legit young backup), there will be a position in the office for him.

[Enoch Root]

I doubt very much that he signs anywhere

Yeah I think he calls it a career. He doesn't need the money as he can always model.

The King, my Lord, is dead.

He should’ve died hereafter,
There would have been a time for such a word.
Tomorrow! And tomorrow. And tomorrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time.
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death.
Out, brief candle!
Life’s but a walking shadow,
A poor player who struts and frets
His hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more.
It is a tale told by an idiot,
Full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

The guy moves like a 50 year old out there. And I hate his stupid glove that it permanently open to the maximum legal size.

He was an amazing goalie. His style was to sit back in his crease and use his athleticism, but time had caught up to him.

[powderjunkie]

If he does want to play again I predict: SJ, PHI, NYI, PIT, or TOR

[Sandman]

I could see him taking one last kick at the can.

[topfiverecords]

Too bad we’ll never find out how big of a performance bonus laden contract offer the Oilers will make.

We did. We were just laughing on the inside.
