It was a busy day for the NY Rangers yesterday. A bad loss, a waiver move, a trade, a precursor to a big trade, and an injury to Ryan Lindgren that may throw a wrench in all of it. There is no news on the severity of Lindgren’s injury as of Sunday morning, and there are concerns that Lindgren was in a sling after the game. Depending on the length of the injury, a long term Lindgren injury may impact the Patrick Kane trade.
1. The Kane trade timing may change
With the Vitali Kravtsov trade yesterday and Jake Leschyshyn off the payroll today, the Rangers are expected to have enough cap space to land Patrick Kane by March 1, per PuckPedia.
