I will always remember him getting a 16 save shutout against the Oilers. Post game he chuckled when the interviewer commented on how easy that shutout was. E=NG.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding this, but it saves the organization $2.5 million in actual dollars.
Lundqvist will not be playing in any major role on the team going forward. $2.5 million, especially in a season with reduced revenue, is a lot of money.

Yeah I see him retiring, or going to a real Cup contending team.
I'm surprised they bought out a player who I thought was very special to that club. Kind of an unceremonious way to come to an end.

Question regarding buy-outs:
-if he was playing, his $8.5M salary would be adjusted to reflect the league's overall revenue (72% of salary = $6.1M). Based on the reduced revenue projections from COVID, all salaries will likely take a hit in the upcoming two years.
-In the event of a buyout, the team has to pay the player two-thirds of their contract, or in this case approx. $5.6M over 2 years
My question is, is the buyout amount subject to reduction as well? Are these amount linked to HRR? Is it possible that buy-outs will actually collect more money than if they had played?

I would assume that the Rangers are more concerned about saving some cap space than they are about saving a little cash.

He was/is, and I would expect they discussed this with him prior to announcing.
That is also why I doubt very much that he signs elsewhere.

That’s a great question. Simply put are buyouts subject to escrow as well right?

Exactly, escrow was the word I was forgetting.

Taking a while to get to 5000

Do you think his twin has a complex? To be that good looking, or that close to good looking, and still play second fiddle? That stuff creates super villains.

Being an NHL goalie adds 75 points to sexiness.

Buyouts are subject to escrow.
Lundqvist's salary is $4.5M +$1M signing bonus (presumably already paid), so it costs NYR $3M instead of $4.5 (before escrow)
I think they'd be better off with the extra 1.5 in space next year compared to saving 3M this year, unless maybe they try to sign Krug and trade Deangelo.

A smidge under $13M of buyouts on NYR's cap this year. Has to be a record...any idea what the previous single year high was?

Yeah, heard that on the radio broadcast a few minutes ago. Puzzling as to why a championship calibre team who needs a strong goaltender would choose him in this market where goaltending can be had?

It can't be had for less than $2M w/o giving up major assets.

Matt Murray for starters can likely be had for a song. MA Fleury too (though probably a heavier price tag). Lundqvist is a backup for any team in the league. Why would Washington make him their starter when they're in a win-now mode and don't have the best defence?
