It’s universally acknowledged that the intangibles Ryan Lindgren brings into the room and onto the ice can’t be quantified. The problem, although, is that the Rangers and the defenseman are going to be obligated to just do that with No. 55 developing on restricted free company with arbitration rights this summer season.
Extra to the purpose is that Lindgren is simply a 12 months away from unrestricted free company so a one-year settlement is not going to do. The Blueshirts are going to want to strike an settlement for a multiyear extension.
There was no fuss and no muss the final time when Lindgren re-upped for 3 years at $9 million at an annual $3M cap hit inside a day of the shut of the 2020-21 season. That certainly represented Chris Drury’s first order of enterprise after changing Jeff Gorton as GM. The Blueshirts can solely hope the method goes as easily this time.
The Rangers have eight video games remaining through which to nail down the Presidents’ Trophy for the fourth time since 1992 (1992, 1994, 2015) starting with Monday’s first go to of the season by the Penguins. Securing home-ice benefit for the potential 4 rounds of the playoffs is the primary order of enterprise for this group that’s on one more heater — 5 straight — and is 21-4-1 since Jan. 27.
However there isn’t any hurt in looking forward at what the Rangers will confront this offseason even when particular person fates might be decided over the following 11 or 12 weeks. Certainly there might be a Column A if the Rangers go deep and a Column B if calamity strikes. Futures will hold within the steadiness.
Lindgren, although, needs to be below each columns no matter how this all shakes out. There isn’t a extra identified amount on the Rangers than this lefty defenseman, who is simply 26 years outdated and is among the prizes of the deadline purges of 2018 and 2019.
Right here’s one. Did you understand that Lindgren was chosen 17 spots forward of Adam Fox within the 2016 entry draft through which No. 55 was chosen by Boston and No. 23 by Calgary? The pair, first united 9 years in the past on the USNDT U17’s, will line up in opposition to Pittsburgh for his or her 298th NHL recreation as a tandem.
There are 19 protection pairs within the NHL which have performed at the very least 750 minutes at five-on-five. The Lindgren-Fox duo has the very best goals-for differential within the league at 64.15 % (34 for, 19 in opposition to). And over the 4,158:43 Fox and Lindgren have performed as a pair beginning with the Oct. 29, 2019 match in opposition to Tampa Bay, they’ve been on for 194 targets for and 129 targets in opposition to for a share of 60.06. Not too shabby.
There’s all the time concern about Lindgren’s physique breaking down. That has change into type of a working joke, although. Sure, there’s a worth to be paid for placing his (listed) 6-foot, 190-pound physique on the road each shift — and don’t overlook his face! — however Lindgren hardly appears to be carrying down. Clearly he had a backlog of obtainable stock on the physique elements retailer.
The blue-collar ethos is significant to a workforce that has traditionally been a white gloves operation. Head coach Peter Laviolette broke up his five-on-five pairs with a view to elevate Lindgren onto the primary penalty-kill unit with Jacob Trouba. The membership has thrived in that space, fourth within the league on the PK at 83.3 %, with Lindgren’s 2:42 of shorthanded ice time per recreation second to the captain’s 2:55. What you see is what you get.
Drury’s therapeutic massage of the cap final summer season in all probability doesn’t get sufficient credit score because it or the GM deserves. On the eve of free company, the Rangers had $11.7 million accessible to fill eight roster spots, together with these reserved for restricted free brokers Ok’Andre Miller and Alexis Lafreniere. The membership misplaced no one in all worth whereas establishing a roster that has gone 50-24-4.
The squeeze will ease subsequent summer season. The cap is anticipated to extend to roughly $87.5 million. If that’s the case, the Rangers would go into July 1 with round $11.7M in house, give or take, with 4 or 5 roster spots to fill together with Lindgren and fellow restricted free agent Kaapo Kakko. There may very well be one other $4.4375M if Filip Chytil can not make it again.
Let’s face it. The pipeline shouldn’t be overflowing with left defensemen. Erik Gustafsson is eligible to change into an unrestricted free agent and should depart. That would depart Miller, Zac Jones, Connor Mackey, Ben Harpur and Brandon Scanlin on the depth chart with Lindgren, whereas Drew Fortescue goes into his sophomore 12 months at Boston Faculty.
It’s tough to establish a comparable with the Blueshirts’ Ol’ Blood and Guts. He’s a top-four minutes cruncher for among the finest groups within the league, valued for his work ethic and management however with modest offensive stats.
I don’t know, $4 million per for 4 years; $4.5M per for 5 years?
An excessive amount of? Not sufficient? I don’t know. However I do know that it’s critical that the Rangers don’t let Lindgren get away. I’m assured that Drury shares that opinion. Who can be on Fox’s left facet for the Cup repeat?

The problem, although, is that the Rangers and the defenseman are going to be obligated to just do that with No. 55 developing on restricted free company with arbitration rights this summer season.
Extra to the purpose is that Lindgren is simply a 12 months away from unrestricted free company so a one-year settlement is not going to do. The Blueshirts are going to want to strike an settlement for a multiyear extension.
There was no fuss and no muss the final time when Lindgren re-upped for 3 years at $9 million at an annual $3M cap hit inside a day of the shut of the 2020-21 season. That certainly represented Chris Drury’s first order of enterprise after changing Jeff Gorton as GM. The Blueshirts can solely hope the method goes as easily this time.
The Rangers have eight video games remaining through which to nail down the Presidents’ Trophy for the fourth time since 1992 (1992, 1994, 2015) starting with Monday’s first go to of the season by the Penguins. Securing home-ice benefit for the potential 4 rounds of the playoffs is the primary order of enterprise for this group that’s on one more heater — 5 straight — and is 21-4-1 since Jan. 27.
However there isn’t any hurt in looking forward at what the Rangers will confront this offseason even when particular person fates might be decided over the following 11 or 12 weeks. Certainly there might be a Column A if the Rangers go deep and a Column B if calamity strikes. Futures will hold within the steadiness.
Lindgren, although, needs to be below each columns no matter how this all shakes out. There isn’t a extra identified amount on the Rangers than this lefty defenseman, who is simply 26 years outdated and is among the prizes of the deadline purges of 2018 and 2019.
Right here’s one. Did you understand that Lindgren was chosen 17 spots forward of Adam Fox within the 2016 entry draft through which No. 55 was chosen by Boston and No. 23 by Calgary? The pair, first united 9 years in the past on the USNDT U17’s, will line up in opposition to Pittsburgh for his or her 298th NHL recreation as a tandem.
There are 19 protection pairs within the NHL which have performed at the very least 750 minutes at five-on-five. The Lindgren-Fox duo has the very best goals-for differential within the league at 64.15 % (34 for, 19 in opposition to). And over the 4,158:43 Fox and Lindgren have performed as a pair beginning with the Oct. 29, 2019 match in opposition to Tampa Bay, they’ve been on for 194 targets for and 129 targets in opposition to for a share of 60.06. Not too shabby.
There’s all the time concern about Lindgren’s physique breaking down. That has change into type of a working joke, although. Sure, there’s a worth to be paid for placing his (listed) 6-foot, 190-pound physique on the road each shift — and don’t overlook his face! — however Lindgren hardly appears to be carrying down. Clearly he had a backlog of obtainable stock on the physique elements retailer.
The blue-collar ethos is significant to a workforce that has traditionally been a white gloves operation. Head coach Peter Laviolette broke up his five-on-five pairs with a view to elevate Lindgren onto the primary penalty-kill unit with Jacob Trouba. The membership has thrived in that space, fourth within the league on the PK at 83.3 %, with Lindgren’s 2:42 of shorthanded ice time per recreation second to the captain’s 2:55. What you see is what you get.
Drury’s therapeutic massage of the cap final summer season in all probability doesn’t get sufficient credit score because it or the GM deserves. On the eve of free company, the Rangers had $11.7 million accessible to fill eight roster spots, together with these reserved for restricted free brokers Ok’Andre Miller and Alexis Lafreniere. The membership misplaced no one in all worth whereas establishing a roster that has gone 50-24-4.
The squeeze will ease subsequent summer season. The cap is anticipated to extend to roughly $87.5 million. If that’s the case, the Rangers would go into July 1 with round $11.7M in house, give or take, with 4 or 5 roster spots to fill together with Lindgren and fellow restricted free agent Kaapo Kakko. There may very well be one other $4.4375M if Filip Chytil can not make it again.
Let’s face it. The pipeline shouldn’t be overflowing with left defensemen. Erik Gustafsson is eligible to change into an unrestricted free agent and should depart. That would depart Miller, Zac Jones, Connor Mackey, Ben Harpur and Brandon Scanlin on the depth chart with Lindgren, whereas Drew Fortescue goes into his sophomore 12 months at Boston Faculty.
It’s tough to establish a comparable with the Blueshirts’ Ol’ Blood and Guts. He’s a top-four minutes cruncher for among the finest groups within the league, valued for his work ethic and management however with modest offensive stats.
I don’t know, $4 million per for 4 years; $4.5M per for 5 years?
An excessive amount of? Not sufficient? I don’t know. However I do know that it’s critical that the Rangers don’t let Lindgren get away. I’m assured that Drury shares that opinion. Who can be on Fox’s left facet for the Cup repeat?
