Following the trade deadline on Monday, John Davidson and Jeff Gorton held a press conference to discuss the day’s deals. It was natural that a question about Henrik Lundqvist popped up, and JD brushed it aside by saying everything that has been done has been discussed with Hank and with his full knowledge. There was no undercutting and no pressuring to push him out. “Several discussions” were had, and Hank has been the “ultimate professional.”
Lundqvist was later interviewed, and stated that his focus is on the rest of the season and he will be sitting down with JD, Gorton, and David Quinn after the season to discuss options and next steps.
