Should the Rangers have put Ryan Lindgren on LTIR before the trade deadline?

This past weekend was a whirlwind of misleading news regrading Ryan Lindgren’s injury and return, as he was “set to return” before both games this weekend. Naturally this didn’t happen, and it makes you wonder if the Rangers should have placed Lindgren on LTIR at the onset to open other roster options. Would it have saved them from moving players up and into the lineup? Or would it have been more of the same?
