A one year contract tells me that Drury isn't interested in signing a long-term deal with Lindgren, which I think is very smart. He's not a big dman and takes way more damage than he dishes out, he blocks tons of shots and is often injured. He reminds me a lot of Girardi, once all the hits and blocks caught up to him he wasn't the same player. This off-season was disappointing in the lack of action but I think the Trouba situation tied Drury's hands, but next season I think there will be massive changes. Especially among the Dmen, I could see everyone outside of Fox and Schneider on the block. People overlooked how awful Miller was in the playoffs, add in that he left the team halfway through the season for his "mental health" and he would be the first guy I'd be looking to trade.
I don't think he should be traded at all. At first the term had me pissed off but I realized that the flexibility is actually quite an intelligent move by Drury and actually helps the organization and the player. Should the team unfortunately have to move on from him this makes it easy to do and sets a nice starting point for future contracts with other teams. In this cap era a team must be able to adapt quickly and make necessary adjustments to lineups on the fly and this deal provides for that. I've often thought that if the Rangers even just added a good two-way top 6 right winger he doesn't need to be a major goal scorer if the team were able to upgrade the defense phenomenally. We have plenty of offense, I honestly think Riley Smith will be a fine addition if we add another hard nosed defensively sound bottom 6 guy plus replace Trouba and if necessary Lindgren with a stalwart defensive d-man and a defensively responsible offensive d-man we will become a dynasty.
I can live with 1 year....but he is too small and too injury prone to count on.......love the player but he needed to be troubas size to play his physical style
One year is perfect. Gives Drury flexibility next off-season

Great contract, if the season for some reason goes south, that would be a great trade chip.

He played better than someone making 8 mil
One year is good but lingren does have a lot of value and is pretty tough and he is a leader in his own way
Lindgren may not get a boatload of points but he prevents many points against. Look at his + - .there's a reason our goalies love him.
it makes him prove it every year, like all of us working stiffs...
A good move by the Blue Shirts ...
He gets injured alot. It's safer for us. Chytil is a big question mark this season. Now for the problem in center....

Still gotta get rid of the captain
To bad they couldn’t get rid of Trouba and make Him captain
Drury is an idiot not giving Lingrrn a one year deal fire Drury
Thank God. It’s only one more year. Now move him to the 3rd Line and let’s go Rangers
Drury is an idiot not giving Lingrrn a one year deal fire Drury
