Confirmed with Link: Rangers re-sign Henrik Lundqvist [7 years, $59.5M, $8.5M AAV, Full NMC]

[Thirty One]

You got me. But still, 40>39.

AINEC.

Rask's contract expires at 34 though. And I know that's 39.

Chara is overrated. Redden has the best first pass in the league.

indeed. best Golden Gloves in the league.

Luongo: You sure about this @HLundqvist30 ???

I can't stop laughing.

 

[Tawnos]

Open market rate would have been higher.

Yeah, it's a nice contract.

Boston paid more for potential though. Because at the time of the signing, Rask had just recently become a starter. It was an RFA contract.

 

[ecemleafs]

Rask is an excellent goaltender. I don't think he's better than Hank but right now I think he makes the best case for #2.

lets let rask play more than 45 games in a season before we anoint him as a top 2 goalie.

 

[Callagraves]

They overspent by about 2.5-3MM a year. Can't wait to read all the Sather bashing this summer when he doesn't have the cap space to sign a big time forward and all you coconuts are accusing him of being asleep at the wheel.

This would be the best possible outcome.

The last thing we need is another Sather Big Time Free Agent Special.

He's been great for years. Is he gonna suddenly suck because he's playing 15-20 more games?

 

[NYRFAN218]

Hank's about to come on Francesa's show.

Lol that real? bc that's hilarious

no. will be as good though? theres definitely something to putting up elite stats and playing 60-70 games ever year.

I think the bidding may have gotten higher, but would Lundqvist leave NYC for Buffalo, Calgary or Edmonton etc.?

Luongo's got a great sense of humor

No, that's why he signed an extension with us.

I do not approve of this. Hank is going to slow down as he gets older. I do like that he will likely be a career Ranger.

Maybe not... but isn't that the definition of a hometown discount?

are there any penalties under this cba if he retires before the end of the contract?

Cap recapture is for long-term contracts signed in the last CBA.

 

[ecemleafs]

Cap recapture is for long-term contracts signed in the last CBA.

yeah i wasnt sure if they didnt also affect deals signed in this cba where the dollars in the last few years are still lower than the AAV and the player retired.

he was going to get this or more as a ufa cant be too upset.

I would have preferred an $8 million cap hit but I'm not going to quibble over it. The fact is that Lundqvist has the potential to be the greatest homegrown Ranger of all time. I am ecstatic that he will get an opportunity to become that.

Paidqvist.

Congratulations to the greatest Ranger of the century.
