Rangers, Ryan Lindgren avoid arbitration with one-year, $4.5 million deal
NY Post
The Rangers have checked off the final name on their list of anticipated offseason business.
Ryan Lindgren signed a one-year, $4.5 million deal Tuesday, according to the Blueshirts, avoiding an arbitration hearing on Friday with the organization he’s played with for his entire NHL career.
Reconvening for a potential extension in January is in play.
The new contract will bring Lindgren to unrestricted free agency at its conclusion next summer, when the Rangers have a list of other players to take care of — including star goalie Igor Shesterkin if an extension isn’t reached beforehand.
The 26-year-old defenseman will enter his seventh season with the Rangers, who acquired Lindgren in a package from the Bruins in exchange for Rick Nash in February 2018.
A prospect at the time of the trade, Lindgren ultimately became a fixture in the top-four on the Rangers back end — particularly alongside 2021 Norris Trophy-winner Adam Fox.
