Is this so long?With his career winding down, it’s fair to say Lundqvist’s tenure on Broadway is uncertain. Will he be bought out? Will he approve a trade and will the Rangers find a taker? Will the team trade Georgiev and thus render the “King” as backup to Shesterkin?

At the moment, nobody knows.

But one thing is certain, Lundqvist has been a wonderful representative of the Rangers, the NHL, the Big Apple and his native Sweden.

Thanks, Hank. You’ll always be “The King”.

See you at your jersey retirement and Hall of Fame induction.

Just maybe not between the pipes for the Blueshirts anytime soon, if ever again.

More. Some options for that second pick in the first round. light
