Mailbag: Ryan Lindgren, more blue line questions
Even on Friday nights, the late games are a little rough. Sorry folks.
Another trio of questions for the mailbag this week. As usual, use the widget on the right to send in your questions.
Dave asks: With Libor Hajek injured, why hasn’t Ryan Lindgren been called up?
This is a good question, and the short answer right now is they don’t need him. The Blueshirts have seven defensemen on the roster right now, and Lindgren showed in his first stint (one game) that he wasn’t necessarily ready for The Show yet. There’s nothing wrong with him staying in the AHL right now. He may be there next year too. There just isn’t enough room on the blue line, yet. I’m not overly concerned.
