It’s official now. The NY Rangers have bought out the final year of Henrik Lundqvist’s contract. It is truly the end of an era of Rangers hockey.

The buyout will save the Rangers $3 million in cap space this season. However the buyout wasn’t about the cap savings. It was about a fresh start for player and team going in different directions.

Thank you, Henrik Lundqvist. Thank you for making the Rangers relevant again. Thank you for giving us hope after the dark days of Rangers hockey. You are a legend, and a true professional on and off the ice.

We wish you well, wherever you wind up. We hope you get that Stanley Cup of which you are so deserving.
