Henrik Lundqvist could have been traded prior to the NHL Trade Deadline this season, but the goaltender told the New York Rangers he was willing to stay while they rebuild.
"We told Hank that if he didn't want to ride it out through this process, we'd find a good landing place for him," Rangers owner James Dolan told the New York Post on Wednesday. "But he said that he wanted to stay and see it through. … I'm very happy that's the way he feels. I think with him at the top of his game, that gives us our best chance of competing for a playoff spot next year."
