New York Rangers Henrik Lundqvist may have been a hated rival for the New York Islanders, but he should leave the market with his head held high.
On Wednesday, the New York Rangers announced that they would be buying out the final year of goaltender Henrik Lundqvist’s contract. Bringing an end to 15 years career as a hated, but respected New York Islanders rival.
The buyout was expected, but it’s certainly not the way Lundqvist would have wanted his career with the Rangers to end.
