Agree on your outlook here. I believe that someone in the front office decided this was Lundqvist’s farewell tour. He’s been the King but time to move team forward.
Kevin Allen: spot-on as usual. Lots of off-season storylines for this Rangers team including a possible Henrik Lundqvist buyout or Georgiev trade, Jesper Fast as a UFA, and lots of RFA's,(at least one of which could be traded). I think the big story that emerged in this series is the one Kevin Allen highlighted. The Ryan Spooner for Ryan Strome was a steal and Strome found great chemistry with Panerin in the regular season, but he's not a 2nd line center and Chytil isn't ready for that role yet.
