Confirmed with Link: 3 Year Extension for Ryan Lindgren ($3M AAV)

[Raspewtin]

good contract for a good player

Fox 8 years now pls

 

[AIexisLafreniereNYR]

He’ll be an assistant captain. Love this deal!!

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

This should keep people from hysterically bitching about shit that hasn't happened for about 8 minutes.

Lindgren was the ideal candidate for this type of deal and I'm glad they got it done. Nice salary bump for a guy who has really put in the work to become a player. Don't be surprised when he settles into putting up 30+ points either.

 

[MarkMessyay11]

Good, been pleasantly surprised with him. Hopefully he continues to play well


I would wager a guess the Rangers won’t be the team to be giving him his next deal so not sure his QO matters much

It won't matter either way. He'll either be gone or signed long-term...the QO is just a 4th year "option" at this point.

I like it. Hope fox is more long term.

And more money, more money, more money

 

[EdJovanovski]

Was expecting 2.5-2.75 in the current cap world but I’m glad we have him locked up

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Fox is a lock for 8 years at what ever money he wants.

 

[Igor Shestyorkin]

Like it. About what I expected. I was thinking it'd be 2.5x2 but 3x3 is solid.

It does impact his trade value if the rangers want to go down that route. Or do you think we are the only ones who thing about what the QO will be. Teams will think long and hard if Lindgren is worth $5 mill to re-sign.

But this is one of those, we'll cross that bridge when we get to it situations.

Lindgren took a massive step this year. His confidence with the puck and in the offensive zone was unexpected, at least for me. Love that he was re-signed without too much hullabaloo. Also agree that his longevity as an effective player is a concern just because of the style he plays. But thrilled that he will be here for the next few years at a reasonable cap hit.

 

[GAGLine]

The structure of this deal means his QO is over $5m

His QO will be 3.6 mil.

NHL To Change Qualifying Offer Rules

Instead of being based on the salary in the final year of the contract, it will now be based on the lower of the salary of the final season of the deal or 120% of the AAV.

The AAV is 3 mil. 120% of that is 3.6 mil, which is lower than the 4 mil he makes in the final year.

 

[DudMan28]

Good deal for both sides. We could have kids breaking down the door by the end of this so we can move him if needed

 

[DanielBrassard]

Right about where he should be, not a bad deal at all.

 

[nyr2k2]

Excellent. Dude went from what many considered to be just a minor part of the Nash deal, to a good interim guy until other players were ready, to an indispensable part of the defensive corps.

He's a f***ing gamer. I hope he's here a long time.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Really surprised some people thought he'd get less. I was surprised how little he got. He's a legit top 4 that can play top pairing minutes with a #1.

 

[TheBloodyNine]

Love it!

he has zero offense to speak of and these are all RFA years. He’s not overpaid but he’s making a good chunk of change.

 

[bl02]

Kind of guy you win with. We need more players like this. Sprinkle a few in at the forward position as well.

 

[Lindberg Cheese]

I guess his exit interview went well

 

[cwede]

smart move churning the NYR news cycle forward and positive

 

[bl02]

You know who is happy right now? Adam Fox.

yup, and approx $5 million a year less than Trouba. Wonder if that means Fox is worth $10 million per with Trouba sitting at $8 million.

It doesn't quite work that way as he still has a bunch of time before he's even UFA eligible.

8x8 would be a steal.

 

[Fvital92]

Bargain.
