The Rangers are officially parting ways with their long-time goaltender.
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — The New York Rangers made it official on Wednesday morning, announcing that the organization made the decision to buy out the final year of goaltender Henrik Lundqvist‘s contract. The move ends a 15-year relationship between the team and Lundqvist and makes the 38-year-old a free agent. “Few players have been as important to the Rangers franchise as Henrik Lundqvist, and we are incredibly grateful for all he has done for our organization,” James L. Dolan, the executive chairman of MSG Sports said in a press release. “Over his 15-year tenure, he not only established himself as one of the best goaltenders to ever play the game, he has also been one of hockey’s fiercest competitors and most effective ambassadors.
